   University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

   Author : Johan Lindahl; [2023]
   Keywords : Cervical hip fracture; Arthroplasty; Osteosynthesis; Swedish Fracture Register; Mortality;

   Abstract : Introduction: Approximately 8,000 patients suffer from cervical hip fractures in Sweden every year. Recommended treatment is surgery by either osteosynthesis or arthroplasty. READ MORE

3. 2. Evaluation of the DXA radiation environment at Sahlgrenska University Hospital

   University essay from

   Author : Saga Söderholm; [2022-05-18]
   Keywords : Medical physics; DXA; DEXA; Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; Bone mineral density;

   Abstract : Purpose: The aims of this work were to evaluate the radiation environment in the dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) rooms at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, estimate personnel doses, determine legal requirements for DXA personnel, examine the operators’ view on radiation safety and develop material with dose information for patients and operators. Theory: DXA is a low dose X-ray modality mainly used in osteoporosis examinations, for which it is considered the reference technique. READ MORE

4. 3. Dynamic Finite Element Modelling of a Fall on the Hip

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

   Author : Nils Nyberg; [2021]
   Keywords : Hip Fracture; Finite Element Modeling; Finite Element; Femur Fracture; Sideways Fall; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Assessing the risk of future femur fracture is an important step in preventing this serious and common injury. The current methods to predict the fracture risk are typically based on bone mineral density measurement, used as a surrogate for femoral strength. READ MORE

5. 4. The effect of vessel holes on fracture behaviour in the femoral neck of the human femur

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

   Author : Sofia Rokkones; Karin Odin; [2020]
   Keywords : image analysis; femur; FE model; biomechanics; CT image; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Hip fractures are widely spread in today's society and affect a person's quality of life. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that results in more fragile bones and an increased risk of bone fractures, including hip fractures. A method proposed for assessing the fracture risk is finite element (FE) models of the femur. READ MORE

6. 5. Trocantheric Femoral Fractures - a retrospective cohort study comparing reoperation rates before and after implementation of new treatment protocol

   University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för medicinska vetenskaper

   Author : Sean Smith; [2020]
   Keywords : Pertrocantheric femoral fracture; subtrocantheric femoral fracture; tip-apex distance; Swedish Fracture Registry; reoperation.;

   Abstract : Introduction: Hip fractures are very common in Sweden. Keeping reoperation rates as low as possible is critical. One factor correlated to mechanical complications and thereby reoperation rates is the tip-apex distance. READ MORE
