1. Mechanical optimization of orthopaedic bone screw constructs
Sammanfattning : Orthopaedic screw implants are crucial in surgical procedures for bone structures, with a longstanding issue being screw loosening. Improving screw stability requires an enhanced understanding of the bone-implant interactions and associated failure mechanisms. This knowledge can be used to optimize screw designs. LÄS MER
2. The biological and physical performance of high strength dicalcium phosphate cement in physiologically relevant models
Sammanfattning : The chemical properties of calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are very similar to the mineral phase of bone. CPCs are, consequently, very effective substrates (scaffolds) for tissue engineering; bone and stem cells attach readily, and can proliferate and differentiate to form new bone tissue. LÄS MER
3. Bone-compliant cements for vertebral augmentation
Sammanfattning : Acrylic bone cement based on poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is commonly used during vertebral augmentation procedures for the treatment of osteoporosis-induced vertebral compression fractures. However, the high stiffness of the cement compared to that of the surrounding trabecular bone is presumed to facilitate the formation of new fractures shortly after surgery. LÄS MER
4. Resorbable Bone Cement for Augmentation of Hip Fracture
Sammanfattning : Surgical treatment of hip fractures is frequently associated with secondary fracture displacement, in part due to weak osteoporotic bone. So far, improvements have focused on new metal implants although an alternative could be to augment the bone that surrounds the implant. LÄS MER
5. An injectable biphasic bone substitute in sinus augmentation
Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns a new synthetic, injectable bone substitute, Cerament™, primarily developed for treatment of vertebral fractures. The purpose of the thesis was to investigate the properties of the newbone substitute, that is, whether it can contribute to the generation of new bone formation needed for placement of future dental implants.
