1. 1. Vertebral Deformity and Vertebral Fracture in the Elderly

   Författare :Ralph Hasserius; Ortopedi - klinisk och molekylär osteoporosforskning; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi; Surgery; Hip fracture; Morbidity; Mortality; Prediction; Non-participants; Prevalence; Osteoporosis; Vertebral deformity; Vertebral fracture;

   Sammanfattning : Osteoporosis is a systemic, skeletal disease with the consequence of an increased risk of sustaining a fracture, one of the most common fractures being a vertebral fracture. The lifetime risk of sustaining a clinically diagnosed vertebral fracture from age 50 years onward is 8% in men and 15% in women. LÄS MER

3. 2. Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis : A Deformity in Three Dimensions

   Författare :Ludvig Vavruch; Hans Tropp; Daniel Forsberg; Nils Dahlström; Staffan Wirell; Paul Gerdhem; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Scoliosis is a complex three-dimensional deformity of the spine. Even though it has been known for centuries, treatment of the deformity has focused on correcting only in the frontal plane. LÄS MER

4. 3. Multiscale Modelling of Proximal Femur Growth : Importance of Geometry and Influence of Load

   Författare :Priti Yadav; Elena Gutierrez Farewik; Marco Viceconti; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; bone tissue modeling; deformity; biomechanics; osteogenic index; poroelastic material; octahedral shear stress; hydrostatic stress; fluid velocity; octahedral shear strain; MRI; walking; jumping; sedentation; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Sammanfattning : Longitudinal growth of long bone occurs at growth plates by a process called endochondral ossification. Endochondral ossification is affected by both biological and mechanical factors. LÄS MER

5. 4. Congenital clubfoot : Aspects on epidemiology, residual deformity and patient reported outcome

   Författare :Henrik M Wallander; Göran Hansson; Sune Larsson; Michael Benson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Congenital clubfoot; incidence; ultrasonography; forefoot adduction; navicular position; spurious correction; Ilizarov External Fixator; subjective outcome; stiffness; patient reported outcome; norm group; gender difference; Orthopaedics; Ortopedi; Orthopaedics; ortopedi;

   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

7. 5. Spontaneous correction of fracture deformity : a study in the rat

   Författare :Jian Li; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Fracture healing; bone modeling; bone turnover; GAP-43; PGP 9.5; CGRP;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of the present study was to elaborate a model in the rat permitting analysis of bone modeling to correct fracture deformity. Among conceivable regulators of this process, the study focused on the peripheral nervous system by analyzing markers of regenerating (GAP-43), mature (PGP 9.5) and sensory (CGRP) nerve fibers at the fracture site.
