The sole supervisor was Associate Professor Jonas B. Thorlund (University of Southern Denmark). The thesis includes data on 641 patients who had a verified meniscal tear at knee arthroscopy and 176 patients who had knee arthroscopy on suspicion of a meniscal tear but where no meniscal tear was identified. Patients had surgery at either Odense University Hospital (Odense or Svendborg) or Lillebaelt Hospital (Kolding or Vejle) in the Region of Southern Denmark between February 1, 2013 and January 31, 2015. The single studies that the thesis comprises were conducted in collaboration with the Research Institute for Primary Care & Health Sciences, Keele University, Keele, United Kingdom, the Clinical Epidemiology Unit, Lund University, Lund, Sweden, Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Odense University Hospital, Odense, Denmark, and Department of Orthopaedics, Lillebaelt Hospital, Kolding and Vejle, Denmark. The PhD project was funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark | Medical Sciences, and the Region of Southern Denmark. 6 List of papers This thesis is comprised of the following four papers.

By approaching sources critically and focusing on archaeological evidence, it looks specifically at how the deity developed within the said milieu and at the uses his cult may have served for those who worshipped him. It subsequently seeks to address other related questions such as when Óðinn came to become associated with warrior-kings in Scandinavia, where this seems to have occurred, and how it might have happened, including an examination of the social and political influences that might have been involved in the development. By means of this process, the study attempts to provide contextual insight into the relationship that seems to have existed between rulers and religion in pre-Christian southern Scandinavia. As is well known, the later medieval literary sources often portray Óðinn as being the ultimate sovereign, ruling over other gods and earthly rulers alike.
