1. The lateral thoracodorsal flap in breast reconstruction. Clinical long-term follow up study and immunohistochemical study of capsular tissue surrounding silicone implants
Sammanfattning : .... LÄS MER
2. On the biological response to different biomaterials under normal and irradiated conditions
Sammanfattning : There are several challenges when introducing an implant into a host. Concerning soft tissues, major complications are fibrosis and capsule contracture, whereas for bone, failure of osseointegration may occur. LÄS MER
3. Towards better understanding of small joint arthroplasty in the hand. Silicone implants, osseointegrated implants and functional outcome
Sammanfattning : Today the most widely used implants for small joint arthroplasty in the hand are flexible silicone implants, introduced by Swanson in the 1960 s. They are encapsulated by connective tissue, which allows pistoning movements in the bone marrow canal This type of implant, mostly used in rheumatic patients, gives high patient satisfaction, relief of pain, correction of deformity and a changed arc of motion towards a more functional position.

4. On surgical techniques to increase bone density and volume. Studies in the rat and the rabbit
Sammanfattning : BACKGROUND. Various techniques of surgical intervention have been suggested to promote bone densityand volume; however, the predictability of such techniques is not always sufficiently supported by preclinicalevaluations.AIM. LÄS MER
5. Immediate breast reconstruction : patient information, regional variations and effects of radiotherapy
Sammanfattning : The type of surgical treatment in breast cancer shows strong regional variation. The aim of studies I-III was to specifically investigate causes of the disparity in breast conservation and immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) rates in the six Swedish healthcare regions. LÄS MER
