1. 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
2. Aspects of bone quality and risk assessments in fracture and elective orthopaedic patients
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
3. Epidemiology of Physical Activity and Fragility Fractures
Sammanfattning : Fragility fractures mainly affect elderly individuals and often cause long term pain, loss of function and higher mortality rates. Physical activity improves balance, increases muscle strength and bone mineral density, and may reduce the risk of fragility fractures. LÄS MER
4. Health-Related Quality of Life in Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporotic Fractures
Sammanfattning : Background: The global burden of osteoporosis includes considerable numbers of fractures, morbidity, mortality and expenses, due mainly to vertebral, hip and forearm fractures. Underdiagnosis and undertreatment are common. LÄS MER
5. Treatment of displaced proximal humeral fractures in elderly patients
Sammanfattning : The optimal treatment for patients with displaced fractures of the proximal humerus, especially elderly patients with osteoporosis, is still controversial. For the 2- and 3-part fractures according to the Neer classification, there is a trend towards more frequent surgical interventions with modern locking plates. LÄS MER
