1. 11. Osteoporosis in elderly women; Bone traits, fracture and the PTH gene complex

   Författare :Max Tenne; Ortopedi - klinisk och molekylär osteoporosforskning; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; osteoporosis; fracture; parathyroid hormone; gene; polymorphism; dual energy X-ray absorptiometry; bone mineral density; hip strength analysis;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Fragility fractures are a major health problem world wide and the numbers are growing due to ageing populations. Early identification of individuals at risk for osteoporosis and fracture, enabling preventive measures and treatment is essential. LÄS MER

3. 12. Lumbar fusion for chronic low-back pain in isthmic spondylolisthesis

   Författare :Per Ekman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Exercise; Outcome; Long-term; interbody fusion; spinal fusion; lumbar; Adjacent segment degeneration; Isthmic spondylolisthesis; Degenerative disc disease; Chronic low back pain; predictor; prospective; pain drawing; sciatica; psychologic screening; Randomized controlled trial;

   Sammanfattning : Manifestation of isthmic spondylolisthesis (IS), with a prevalence of 5% in the general population, varies from totally asymptomatic to severe disability. Although fusion has positive short-term effects, the long-term outcome of such treatment, as well as possible accelerated degeneration of adjacent segment discs (ASD) and its clinical significance, are unknown.

4. 13. Arthroscopic Bankart reconstruction using different absorbable tacks. The clinical results, radiographic findings and effect on calcaneal bone mineral

   Författare :Anna Elmlund; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; shoulder dislocation; arthroscopic; dislocation arthropathy; BMA;

   Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT The aim of the thesis was to explore the clinical and radiographic results after post- traumatic anterior shoulder instability treated with arthroscopic Bankart surgery using absorbable tacks with different compositions. Further aims were to explore possible effects on bone mineral in the heel bone and health-related quality of life after a shoulder-stabilising surgical procedure. LÄS MER

5. 14. Injectable Calcium Phosphate Bone Substitute In Distal Radial Fractures

   Författare :Philippe Kopylov; Lund Ortopedi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Norian SRS; Bone substitute; radius fracture; injectable; calcium phosphate; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatology; Kirurgi; ortopedi; traumatologi;

   Sammanfattning : Fractures of the distal end of the radius are common and occur in many different forms. The long-term results after conservative treatment of fracture of the distal end of the radius in younger adults with special reference to degenerative changes and function are investigated in 76 patients (Paper I).

7. 15. Development of new MRl-based analysis methods for improved diagnosis of low back pain patients

   Författare :Christian Waldenberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; annular fissure; bone marrow lesion; image analysis; intervertebral disc; intervertebral disc degeneration; low back pain; machine learning; radiomics; texture analysis;

   Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND Low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of disability worldwide, where three of four individuals experience back pain at some point in their lives. The pathophysiological background of LBP is probably multifactorial, where bone marrow damage, tissue changes in the vertebral endplates, and intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration have been recognized as tissue changes linked to pain.
