11. 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.

12. Periprosthetic femoral fracture after total hip replacement. Incidence, risk factors, and treatment
Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the incidence of surgically treated periprosthetic femoral fractures (PPFF) in Sweden between 2001 and 2011, the demography of this population, risk factors that may contribute to its occurrence and the treatment of these fractures. All four studies in this thesis are observational and are based primarily on material from the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register (SHAR) database. LÄS MER
13. Time dependent flow of biolubricant and suspended particles behavior within total hip replacement
Sammanfattning : Total hip replacement (THR) has been one of the most successful surgeries in the 21st century. Ultra-high-molecular-weight-polyethylene (UHMWPE) shows favorable mechanical and tribological properties when used as a bearing surface material in THR. However, produced UHMWPE wear particles challenge increasing the THR lifetimes. LÄS MER
14. Long-term effects of growth hormone replacement in hypopituitary adults on body composition, bone mass and cardiovascular risk factors
Sammanfattning : Growth hormone (GH) deficient (GHD) adults have decreased bone mass and muscle strength, impaired body composition, disturbed serum lipid pattern and increased morbidity and mortality in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. GH replacement normalizes most of these aberrations within the first year of treatment. LÄS MER
15. Different perspectives of living with osteoarthritis and outcomes after knee arthroplasty
Sammanfattning : Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease affecting the population increasingly with age. Living with OA and pain can cause severe distress in an individual’s life and expectations of outcome after joint replacement surgery are generally high. LÄS MER
