Epidemiology, classification, and treatment of 2084 Lisfranc injuries: An observational study from the Swedish fracture register.

Background: Lisfranc injuries are potentially severe but relatively uncommon. Limited epidemiological data regarding Lisfranc injuries of the midfoot are available. This study aimed to describe the injury's epidemiology, injury mechanism, and primary treatment.

Basicervical femoral neck fractures: an observational study derived from the Swedish Fracture Register.

Background And Purpose: Limited research has been conducted on basicervical femoral neck fractures (bFNFs). The importance of displacement in clinical outcomes remains unclear. We aimed to characterize patient demographics, degree of displacement, treatment, treatment failures, and reoperations in a cohort of fractures from the Swedish Fracture Register (SFR).

Routine use of LMWH prophylaxis is associated with a lower incidence of venous thromboembolic events following an ankle fracture.

Background: Venous thromboembolic events (VTE) are well-known and serious complications following a trauma to the lower extremities. There is an ongoing debate on the benefit of low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH) as prophylaxis following ankle fracture treatment. We examined the association between the incidence of VTE and the use of LMWH-prophylaxis following an ankle fracture, as well as factors affecting the risk of VTE.

Epidemiology of Adult Ankle Fractures: 1756 cases identified in Norrbotten County during 2009-2013 and classified according to AO/OTA.

Background: The ankle fracture is one of the most common fractures, increasing in an ageing population, but not generally seen as an osteoporotic fracture. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between different AO/OTA classes of ankle fractures, age, sex and type of trauma.

Methods: Ankle fractures, treated at any of the hospitals in Norrbotten County in Sweden between 2009 and 2013, were retrospectively identified and classified according to the AO/OTA-classification system.

Epidemiology and incidence of tibia fractures in the Swedish Fracture Register.

Introduction: There is a lack of epidemiological studies of fractures in all segments of the tibia classified by orthopaedic surgeons according to the AO/OTA classification. Since 2011, the Swedish Fracture Register (SFR) has provided prospectively collected, population-based data on fractures of all types, treated both surgically and non-surgically. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiology and incidence of fractures in all segments of the tibia in a cohort of consecutive tibia fractures over a period of five years at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden.

Evaluating non-responders of a survey in the Swedish fracture register: no indication of different functional result.

Background: The Swedish Fracture Register (SFR) currently contains information on more than 190,000 fractures. Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are used for monitoring functional results after fracture treatment. One weakness, as in many surveys, is a low response rate.

Substantial accuracy of fracture classification in the Swedish Fracture Register: Evaluation of AO/OTA-classification in 152 ankle fractures.

Introduction: Since 2011 the Swedish Fracture Register (SFR) has collected information on fracture epidemiology, treatment and outcome. More than 112 000 fractures, including 11 600 ankle fractures, have been registered so far. The accuracy of the classification is crucial when using the register in future research and quality improvement of care.
