1. Total knee arthroplasty : aspects on improved fixation in the younger patient
Sammanfattning : The results of total knee arthroplasty are inferior in younger patients. The challenge today is therefore to develop designs and concepts that will last at least 25 years. This thesis has evaluated the fixation to bone of modern designs of knee prostheses uring RSA analysis. LÄS MER

Among these factors, the length of the lever arm and joint stability is the ones that can be altered by the selected prosthetic component. LÄS MER
4. Total knee arthroplasty : Alternative aspects on fixation, design and postoperative treatment
Sammanfattning : Total knee arthroplasty as a treatment of severe gonarthrosis has become a great success, but tibial component loosening is still a major reason for failure. When total knee arthroplasty was introduced, only all-polyethylene (AP) tibial components were available. LÄS MER
5. Total wrist arthroplasty : A clinical, radiographic and biomechanical investigation
Sammanfattning : Aim: To study patient-related functional outcome measures, implant survival and radiographic loosening after total wrist arthroplasty (TWA) using four different implants. To evaluate a new TWA design biomechanically and clinically. LÄS MER
