  1. 6. Spinal fractures related to ankylosing spondylitis : Epidemiology, clinical outcome and biomechanics

    Författare :Yohan Robinson; Claes Olerud; Helena Saraste; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; ankylosing spondylitis; spinal fractures; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Spinal fractures related to ankylosing spondylitis (AS) are often associated with serious complications. Therefore, knowledge of the incidence, best treatment, outcome, and prevention would assist in improving current guidelines. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Health-Related Quality of Life in Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporotic Fractures

    Författare :Inger Hallberg; Anna-Christina Ek; Margareta Bachrach-Lindström; Göran Toss; Olle Svensson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Bone Mineral Density; Hip Fracture; Osteoporosis; Spinal Deformity Index; Vertebral fracture; Nursing; Omvårdnad;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The global burden of osteoporosis includes considerable numbers of fractures, morbidity, mortality and expenses, due mainly to vertebral, hip and forearm fractures. Underdiagnosis and undertreatment are common. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Bone-compliant cements for vertebral augmentation

    Författare :Céline Robo; Cecilia Persson; Elizabeth Tanner; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bone cement; low modulus; vertebroplasty; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot materialvetenskap; Engineering Science with specialization in Materials Science;

    Sammanfattning : Acrylic bone cement based on poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is commonly used during vertebral augmentation procedures for the treatment of osteoporosis-induced vertebral compression fractures. However, the high stiffness of the cement compared to that of the surrounding trabecular bone is presumed to facilitate the formation of new fractures shortly after surgery. LÄS MER

  5. 9. The clinical relevance of vertebral fractures and low back pain in elderly men

    Författare :Mehrsa Kherad; Ortopedi - klinisk och molekylär osteoporosforskning; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The number of vertebral fractures has increased during the last few decades.The increase could at least partly be explained by the increasing proportion of elderly in society since these fractures are more commonly found in elderly than in young individuals. LÄS MER

  7. 10. The acute osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture. Its natural course and characteristics

    Författare :Nobuyuki Suzuki; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Vertebral body fracture; Osteoporosis; Pain; Quality of life; Disability; Compression fracture; Prognosis; Treatment; Prevalent fracture; Epidemiology;

    Sammanfattning : Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the natural course and the characteristics of the acute osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture in order to better understand and improve treatment for this type of fracture. Patients and methods: Eligible patients were all patients over 40 years of age who sought medical care at the emergency unit at Sahlgrenska University Hospital (studies I-III) or referred to the X-ray Department at Capio Diagnostic Center (study IV) because of back pain with a radiographically-confirmed acute vertebral body fracture which resulted from a low energy trauma.
