6. Clavicular Fractures, Epidemiology, Union, Malunion, Nonunion
Sammanfattning : During a three-year period (1989-91), all patients living in the county of Uppsala, Sweden, with a radiographically verified fracture of the clavicle were prospectively, consecutively followed (n=245). The epidemiological study (I) was restricted to the two first years with 187 fractures in185 patients. LÄS MER
7. Studies on patients with a proximal humerus fracture. With special reference to mortality, fragility, morbidity and outcome
Sammanfattning : Fractures of the proximal part of the humerus occur frequently, especially in elderly women. The present thesis summarizes a series of studies analysing the impact on fracture outcome of factors related both to the fracture itself and to the patient. LÄS MER
8. On the treatment of tibial fractures using the Ilizarov fixator
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to analyse the results of the Ilizarov method in patients with different types of tibial fracture and compare them with conventional methods, in terms of primary union, complication rates, post-operative function, quality of life, and how the patients´ gait was affected during rehabilitation. Fifty-eight patients with isolated diaphyseal fractures (Study I) were randomised to treatment with either the Ilizarov method (IL) or locked intramedullary nailing (IM). LÄS MER
9. Displaced Femoral Neck Fractures : A prospective randomized study of clinical outcome, nutrition and costs
Sammanfattning : Displaced femoral neck fractures comprise more than a third of all hip fractures. There is controversy as to the optimal treatment. Despite attempts to improve the methods for internal fixation, complication rates have been almost unchanged: 20-40% non-union and late segmental collapse in another 10-20%. LÄS MER
10. Displaced femoral neck fractures : studies on osteosynthesis and total hip arthroplasty
Sammanfattning : The treatment of femoral neck fractures has for many years in Sweden been reduction and osteosynthesis with nails or screws. For displaced fractures the risk of complications such as avascular necrosis and non-union is up to 50 %, often leading to a secondary operation with an arthroplasty. LÄS MER
