1. Biomechanical Analysis of Fall Injuries using Finite Element Modeling
Sammanfattning : A fall is a serious health issue for the elderly. Among different fall types, the sideways fall is considered to be more severe concerning the injury outcome. LÄS MER
2. Hip fractures : A biomechanical analysis of fracture strength prediction, prevention, and repair
Sammanfattning : Due to the aging population, hip fracture incidence has been increasing over the past decades. Measurements of bone mineral density with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry are the gold standard for hip fracture risk assessment, where patients with a low bone density have a high risk of fracture. LÄS MER
3. Effect of Physical Activity on Bone, Muscle and Fracture Risk during Growth
Sammanfattning : Osteoporosis and related fractures are a global health problem. Physical activity, especially during growth, has been suggested as a strategy to improve musculoskeletal health in the population. LÄS MER
4. Osteoporosis in elderly women; Bone traits, fracture and the PTH gene complex
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
5. On customization of orthopedic implants - from design and additive manufacturing to implementation
Sammanfattning : This doctoral thesis is devoted to studying the possibilities of using additive manufacturing (AM) and design based on computed tomography (CT), for the production of patient-specific implants within orthopedic surgery, initially in a broad perspective and, in the second part of the thesis focusing on customized clavicle osteosynthesis plates. The main AM method used in the studies is the Electron Beam Melting (EBM) technology. LÄS MER
