Anterioposterior Views Coupled With Lateral Views Are the Best for the Intraoperative Radiographic Detection of Retained Surgical Sponges.

Introduction: A retained sponge after spine surgery can cause serious medical complications and medicolegal problems. Intraoperative radiographs are commonly used to detect it. This study evaluated intraoperative radiographs under routine clinical conditions that most spine surgeons experience to detect retained sponges.

Effect of fracture level on the residual fracture gap during tibial intramedullary nailing for tibial shaft fractures.

Introduction: The development of fracture gap during intramedullary nailing in tibial fractures is associated with poor fracture fragment contact and increased time to union and complications. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the fracture level in the development of the fracture gap and the effect of the fracture gap on pain, radiologic and functional outcomes, and complication rate.

Material And Method: A total of 45 patients who underwent reamed intramedullary nailing due to closed transverse or short oblique tibial shaft fractures were divided into the proximal fracture group and the distal fracture group.
