Young men in sports are at highest risk of acromioclavicular joint injuries: a prospective cohort study.

Purpose: To study the incidence of acromioclavicular joint injuries in a general population.

Sports-related acute shoulder injuries in an urban population.

Risk factors for symptomatic venous thromboembolism following surgery for closed ankle fractures: A case-control study.

Background: We analyzed risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE) within 6 months after surgery for closed ankle fractures.

Methods: This was a case-control study based on data from chart review in a cohort of patients having open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for closed ankle fractures in two large general hospitals 2009-2011. Cases with symptomatic VTE (pulmonary embolism or deep venous thrombosis) were identified in the cohort, and additional cases of VTE were identified by computerized search of discharge diagnoses in the same hospitals in 2004-2008 and 2012-2016.

Shoulder injuries from birth to old age: A 1-year prospective study of 3031 shoulder injuries in an urban population.

The aim of this study was to obtain an overview of shoulder injuries in a general population cohort, and to estimate the relative proportion of the main injury categories soft tissue injuries, fractures and dislocations, as well as their variation with age and gender.
