1. 1. Periprosthetic femoral fracture after total hip replacement. Incidence, risk factors, and treatment

   Författare :Georgios Chatziagorou; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Periprosthetic fracture; Interprosthetic fracture; Incidence; Risk factors; Treatment; Outcome; Mortality;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the incidence of surgically treated periprosthetic femoral fractures (PPFF) in Sweden between 2001 and 2011, the demography of this population, risk factors that may contribute to its occurrence and the treatment of these fractures. All four studies in this thesis are observational and are based primarily on material from the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register (SHAR) database. LÄS MER

3. 2. Malleus fracture : experimental and clinical aspects

   Författare :Anders Niklasson; Krister Tano; Magnus Von Unge; Preben Homøe; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; malleus fracture middle ear human temporal bone laser doppler vibrometry; Oto-Rhino-Laryngology; oto-rhino-laryngologi;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Patients with malleus fractures are described as rare in the literature. The cause of these fractures are most commonly trauma and digital manipulation of the ear canal, while in some cases the causes are unknown. LÄS MER

4. 3. Studies of tibial fractures using the Swedish Fracture Register

   Författare :David Wennergren; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Fracture register; Tibial Fracture; Classification; Reliability; Agreement; Accuracy; Epidemiology; Incidence; Treatment; Reoperation;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis has two topics. First, the creation and application of the Swedish Fracture Register (SFR) is described. Second, a series of studies of tibial fractures based on data from the SFR follows. LÄS MER

5. 4. Aspects of bone quality and risk assessments in fracture and elective orthopaedic patients

   Författare :Camilla Bergh; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Fracture; Fracture incidence; Epidemiology; Mortality; Osteoporosis; Frailty; Spinal stenosis; Bone quality; Bone mineral density;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Bone quality, bone strength, and bone remodelling are important in many orthopaedic conditions and can have an impact on fracture incidence, bone healing, implant failure, and different outcome aspects. There is relatively sparse information on fracture incidence and mortality both for all fractures compiled and for some of the individual fracture locations. LÄS MER

7. 5. Aspects of fracture prevention - The role of fracture liaison services and alendronate

   Författare :Kristian F Axelsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Osteoporosis; Prevention; Fracture; Fracture liaison service; Alendronate; Elderly; Prednisolone;

   Sammanfattning : Objective: In an ageing population, osteoporotic fractures become more common and cause increased morbidity, mortality and societal cost. This thesis aimed to determine the potential role of fracture liaison services (FLS) and alendronate treatment on fracture risk in those with a recent fracture, in the elderly and in those treated with oral prednisolone.
