Bone, Union and Osteoarthritis
This thesis covers these three themes, osteoarthritis (OA), bone union assessment, and
extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT). The themes are combined and culminated in
chapter 7; extracorporeal shock wave therapy compared to sham-ESWT per operatively
for talocrural arthrodesis; a double-blinded randomized controlled trial (RCT).
