Patient-reported outcome measure and health-economic aspects of total hip arthroplasty. A study of the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register.
The Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Registry collects prospective, observational, nationwide data on all total hip arthroplasties (THAs) in Sweden. Implant survival has been the most commonly reported outcome variable. However, the main indications for THA are pain and impaired health-related quality of …

Issues affecting complications after knee or hip arthroplasty
… surgical intervention in societal terms (hip and knee arthroplasty). By tackling these pre-arthroplasty issues, this thesis aims to reduce the burden of arthroplasty surgery and cut down on episode-of-care costs associated with such surgical care. Chapter 2’s systematic review and …

Investigating a problematic trilogy: osteoarthritis, obesity and knee or hip arthroplasty
… to the development and progression of hip and knee osteoarthritis and subsequent demand for arthroplasty procedures. Concerningly, obesity is associated with certain postoperative complications resulting in health and financial burdens to the patient and healthcare system. Clinicians …

An artificially-intelligent biomeasurement system for total hip arthroplasty patient rehabilitation.
… range of movement (ROM) of the replacement hip joint in total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients. In so doing, the following original work is presented: Production of a wearable, microcontroller-equipped system which was able to wirelessly relay accelerometer sensor data of the subjects key …

Gait and motion analysis of hip arthroplasty. Validity, reliability and longterm results
… activities of daily living in humans, when the hip joints transfer power between the lower extremities and the pelvis. Hip osteoarthritis (OA) will more or less influence this function and is increasing in an ageing population. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common treatment for patients …

A Virtual Method for Establishing Femoral Stem Position in Total Hip Arthroplasty
<p>Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most successful orthopedic surgeries performed, in which the hip joint is reconstructed to improve functionality and decrease pain in the joint. Despite the success of these procedures, femoral stem misalignment remains an area that influences THA …

In Vivo Wear Performance of Highly-crosslinked Polyethylene in Total Hip Arthroplasty
… (HXLPE) has been a major advancement in total hip arthroplasty (THA), significantly reducing wear rates and the need for revisions compared to conventional ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. However, volumetric wear and the associated periprosthetic tissue response remain one of the key …

Development of clinical assessment strategies for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA)
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common surgery that people suffering from hip pain and reduced mobility, generally caused by osteoartrhosis, undergo. In the surgery the head and neck of the femur bone are replaced with a prosthesis whose ball-like head fits into a cup that is inserted into the …

Dislocation Mechanics of Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Combined Experimental and Computational Analysis
<p>While total hip arthroplasty is considered a successful procedure, dislocation remains a serious complication as recurrent dislocations may require additional surgeries. Knowledge on dislocation events as they occur in vivo are limited, therefore researchers rely on experimental and …

Displaced intracapsular neck of femur fractures: dislocation rate after total hip arthroplasty
… orthopaedic complications after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). The reported dislocation rate in elective THR is 5 - 8%. This number increases up to 22% for THA done for neck of femur fractures. Larger femoral head sizes increase the head-neck ratio and range of motion before impingement, …

The role of head size in total hip arthroplasty - Dislocation, wear and cup stability
Large heads are used in total hip arthroplasty, with the aim of reducing the risk of dislocation, but there are concerns related to polyethylene wear, corrosion and cup loosening. Paper I is an observational study that aimed to investigate whether the transition from 28-mm to 32-mm heads and …

The Effects and Analysis of Implant Type and Surgical Approach in Total Hip Arthroplasty Dislocation Resistance
<p>Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most successful orthopaedic surgeries performed, in which the hip joint is reconstructed to decrease pain and to improve the functionality to the joint. Although these surgeries are very successful, there still remain areas for improvement, such as …
