Purpose: Glenohumeral joint compatibility and bone morphology are among the most critical factors in shoulder stabilization. Our study investigated the effect of the bone morphological structure of the shoulder joint on anterior shoulder dislocation.

Methods: In our study, people with a history of shoulder dislocation were selected as the patient group.

Does COVID-19 vaccine exacerbate rotator cuff symptoms? A prospective study.

Background: Shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) is a rare but increasing complication after vaccination. The aim of this study was to increase awareness of post-vaccination shoulder pain and to investigate the effect of the clinical condition of the shoulder before vaccination on the loss of function that may occur after vaccination.

Methods: This prospective study included 65 patients aged > 18 years who were diagnosed with unilateral shoulder impingement and/or bursitis.

Lumbosacral fusion increases the risk of hip osteoarthritis.

Objective: There may be biomechanical changes in the adjacent hip joint after lumbosacral fusion. The literature has limited information on how these biomechanical changes may result in hip joint space.

Material: METHOD: Our retrospective study examined hip joint space narrowing in patients who underwent lumbosacral fusion between 2020 and 2022.

Comparison of the Clinical Results of Platelet-Rich Plasma, Steroid and Autologous Blood Injections in the Treatment of Chronic Lateral Epicondylitis.

Background: The aim of our study is to compare the efficacy of PRP, steroids, and autologous blood injection in patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis.

Method: A total of 120 patients comprised our study. Three groups of 40 patients each received only one of the following: PRP, steroids, or autologous blood injections.

How high is the quality of the videos about children's elbow fractures on Youtube?

Objective: Pediatric elbow fractures are children's most common fractures. People use the internet to get information about their illnesses and also to search for treatment options. Videos uploaded to Youtube do not go through the review process.

What is the best treatment for syndesmosis fixation? Suture-button or syndesmotic screw ? Bilateral CT-based early postoperative analysis.

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of syndesmotic screw (SS) and suture button (SB) on the reduction and fixation of syndesmosis via early postoperative bilateral computed tomography (CT).

Methods: This single-center retrospective study included 76 patients aged ≥ 18 years with a unilateral syndesmosis injury. SS was applied to 40 patients and SB to 36 patients.

Ultrasound-guided cervical selective nerve block: A case series.

Background: Cervical radiculopathy is characterized by pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness, mostly in an affected extremity, reflecting compression of a nerve in the neck is compressed or irritated where it emerges from the spinal cord. Diagnosis requires a detailed anamnesis, physical examination, and imaging. Physical therapy, exercise, medical therapy, and injections are the preferred treatments, but injections into the cervical region are only indicated if conservative treatment is ineffective.

Pharmacokinetic Profiles of Metamizole Metabolites after Intramuscular and Intravenous Administration in Healthy Arabian Horses.

Metamizole sodium (MT) is an analgesic and antipyretic drug molecule used in humans, horses, cattle, swine, and dogs. Metamizole rapidly hydrolyzes and turns into methylamino antipyrine (MAA), an active primary metabolite of MT. The present study aims to determine the pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of MT metabolites after intravenous (IV) and intramuscular (IM) administration into sex of Arabian horses (Equus ferus caballus) using a cross-over study design.

Caudal epidural steroid injection for chronic low back pain: A prospective analysis of 107 patients.

Background: Low back pain affects 80% of people worldwide at least once in a lifetime and reduces the quality of life and causes absence from work.

Objective: To evaluate the pain and functional status of patients with lumbar disc disease who received blind caudal epidural injections (CEI) for pain relief.

Methods: The records of 107 patients who had been given CEI between September 2017 and January 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.

Comparison of Intra- and Extramedullary Implants in Treatment of Unstable Intertrochanteric Fractures.

Introduction: Comparison was made of the clinical and radiological results of the surgical treatments of proximal femoral nail (PFN), dynamic hip screw (DHS) or proximal femoral locking compression plate (PF-LCP) in patients with AO 31A2.2/2.3 unstable intertrochanteric femoral fracture(ITF).

Active nano/microbilayer hemostatic agents for diabetic rat bleeding model.

Patients with diabetes mellitus have an increased cardiovascular risk due to the abnormality of hemostatic system components. Therefore, hemostasis is an important concept when considering that diabetics are under risk due to potential bleeding complications during surgical operation. The aim of our study was to examine the efficiency of a fabricated nano/microbilayer hemostatic dressing for bleeding control in diabetic patients.

Importance of cervical length in dysmenorrhoea aetiology.

The objective of this prospective case-control study was to determine whether uterine corpus and cervical length measurements have a role in dysmenorrhoea aetiology in virgins. Patients with severe primary dysmenorrhoea with visual analog scale scores of ≥7 composed the dysmenorrhoea group (n = 51), while the control group (n = 51) was of women with painless menstrual cycles or with mild pain. Longitudinal and transverse axes of the uterine cervix and uterine corpus were measured.

Association of endothelial nitric oxide synthase gene G894T polymorphism and serum nitric oxide levels in patients with preeclampsia and gestational hypertension.

Objective: Pregnancy-induced hypertension is one of the most important cause of maternal-fetal morbidity and mortality. Pregnancy-related hypertensive disorders are usually associated with diminished nitric oxide (NO) levels. We aimed to evaluate the role of serum NO levels and eNOS gene G894T polymorphism on hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.
