1. Congenital clubfoot : Aspects on epidemiology, residual deformity and patient reported outcome
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis on congenital clubfoot was to estimate the incidence with a national perspective, analyse residual deformities and their management, and evaluate patient reported long-term quality of life and foot function. Paper I was a prospective, nationwide sampling of 280 children with congenital clubfoot during 1995-96. LÄS MER
2. Norrbottnian congenital insensitivity to pain
Sammanfattning : Congenital insensitivity to pain is a rare hereditary neuropathy. We present patients from a large family in Norrbotten, Sweden with a mutation in the nerve growth factor β gene (NGFß). Using a model of recessive inheritance, we identified an 8.3-Mb region on chromosome 1p11. LÄS MER
3. Dynamic ultrasound investigation of clubfeet, 0 - 4 years of age, with normal controls
Sammanfattning : Clubfoot is one of the most common congenital deformities, 1-6/1,000 births in Europe and up to 5-6/1,000 in Polynesia. The Ponseti method is now widely regarded as the method of choice for treatment. The treatment starts soon after birth using manipulations and castings until the deformities are corrected, usually 6-10 weeks. LÄS MER
4. Ultrasound Examination in Infant Clubfoot with Special Emphasis on the Talonavicular and the Calcaneocuboid Joints
Sammanfattning : The purpose of the study was to develop an ultrasound (US) protocol for evaluating congenital clubfoot pathoanatomy before and during early treatment. By using 3 easily defined and reproducible US projections the talonavicular and the calcaneocuboid joints were assessed. LÄS MER
5. Ultrasound screening for fetal anomalies
Sammanfattning : We studied the prenatal detection rate of various malformations during a study period of 16 years in a population in southern Sweden consisting of 141 240 deliveries. The overall detection rate was 28.4% and the false positive diagnoses were very few. LÄS MER
