1. Multiple perspectives on health promotion in individuals with knee pain
Sammanfattning : Chronic musculoskeletal pain impacts the individual in multiple aspects of life (biological, psychological, and social). Individuals with knee pain have a higher risk of developingchronic widespread pain and knee osteoarthritis, compared to the general population, and the prevalence of chronic pain is estimated to rise.

2. Developing knee joint osteoarthritis: Clinical, radiographical and biochemical features
Sammanfattning : The aim of this project was to study clinical, radiographical and biochemical features of developing, symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA) prospectively in individuals aged 35-54 from the general population. A questionnaire to a random sample of 2 000 individuals in the district of Laholm, Sweden, identified 279 individuals (15% of the population) with chronic (>3 months) knee pain. LÄS MER
3. Pain in patients with osteoarthritis treated with total knee arthroplasty
Sammanfattning : Background: The pathogenesis and mechanisms of pain in osteoarthritis (OA) are virtually unknown. In the absence of specific and effective pharmacological treatment, joint replacement often remains the only option. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has a significant effect in terms of pain relief.

4. Epidemiology of meniscus position: associations with knee symptoms and osteoarthritis
Sammanfattning : Meniscal extrusion (ME) in the knee joint is defined as when the peripheral border of the meniscus is substantially located outside the joint margin. Prior studies have reported that ME is associated with meniscal tears, meniscal degeneration, and the presence of knee osteoarthritis (OA). LÄS MER
5. Cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors and knee prosthesis surgery
Sammanfattning : Adverse effects of cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors on bone healing have previously been demonstrated in diaphyseal fracture models in animals. In spite of that, they are widely used as postoperative analgesics in orthopaedic surgery. After joint replacement, a bone repair process starts at the interface between bone and cement. LÄS MER
