  1. 11. Tendon transfer mechanics and donor muscle properties : implications in surgical correction of upper limb muscle imbalance

    Författare :Eva Pontén; Bertil Romanus; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :laser diffraction; sarcomere length; tendon transfer; spasticity; muscle morphology; myosin heavy chain; capillary; rabbit; human; cerebral palsy; stroke; handkirurgi; hand surgery;

    Sammanfattning : Tendon transfer surgery is used to improve the hand function of patients with nerve injuries, spinal cord lesions, cerebral palsy (CP), stroke, or muscle injuries. The tendon of a muscle, usually with function opposite that of the lost muscle function, is transferred to the tendon of the deficient muscle. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Arthroscopy in the upper extremity

    Författare :Lars Adolfsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : This stndy comprising six separate papers, is concerned with the techniques of, and bevaluation of arthroscopy as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool in different pathologic conditions in the upper extremity.Arthroscopy proved to increase diagnostic accuracy in 177 examined patients with anterior shoulder instability or shoulder pain.

  4. 13. Fractures of the Distal Radius - Incidence, treatment and outcome

    Författare :Elisabeth Brogren; Malmö Handkirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; distal radius fracture; disability; DASH; malunion; natural course;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Fractures of the distal radius are common injuries that may cause persistent disability and pain. This thesis prospectively investigates the incidence and characteristics of distal radius fractures, the relationship between fracture malunion and disability and the natural course of patient-reported outcome after fracture in a well-defined population in Northeastern Scania, Sweden.

  5. 14. Scaphoid Fractures - epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment

    Författare :Peter Jörgsholm; Malmö Handkirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Scaphoid fracture; carpal fracture; paediatric; radiography; CT; MRI; arthroscopy; scapholunate ligament injury; radial comminution; surgical treatment; conservative treatment; fracture union;

    Sammanfattning : Abstract The scaphoid is the most commonly fractured carpal bone. The diagnosis is difficult and untreated the long-term results are poor. Approximately 10% do not unite even if they are treated properly. The aim of this thesis was to study scaphoid fracture epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Functional outcome and experiences concerning daily life after malunion of the distal radius and corrective osteotomy

    Författare :Ingrid Andreasson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Distal radius fracture; Malunion; Corrective osteotomy; Functional outcome; Activities of daily life; First post-operative year; Long-term;

    Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND. Distal radius fractures are common injuries that occur at all ages. The commonest complication is that the fracture heals in malunion. This can negatively affect function and the ability to perform activities. LÄS MER
