Risk Factors for Early Implant Failure in Geriatric Intertrochanteric Fractures Treated with Twin Interlocking Derotation and Compression Screw Cephalomedullary Nail (InterTAN).

Purpose Of The Study: Intertrochanteric hip fractures in elderly patients are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, with increasing incidence due to the aging population. Despite advancements in intramedullary nailing (IMN) technology, fixation failure remains a concern. This study aims to evaluate pre-and postoperative radiographic risk factors for varus collapse in geriatric intertrochanteric fractures treated with twin interlocking derotation and compression screw cephalomedullary nail (InterTAN, Smith & Nephew).

Predictive prognostic factors in patients with proximal humeral fracture treated with reverse shoulder arthroplasty.

Background: We aimed to evaluate the predictive determitants in patients with PHF who were treated with reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) by evaluating the patient characteristics and comorbidities and extensive preoperative laboratory parameters.

Methods: With examining the records of elderly patients (over 65 years old) with PHF, who were admitted to our emergency department between 2009 and 2020. For evaluation of the survival, we performed Kaplan-Meirer statistical anaylses.

Long-Term Evaluation of Ulnar Nerve Function in Patients with Distal Humerus Fractures Treated with Open Reduction and Internal Fixation: A Nerve Conduction Study.

Objectives: To investigate the long-term evaluation with electromyography of ulnar nerve function in patients with distal humerus fractures (DHFs) treated with open reduction and internal fixation.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Level 1 trauma center.

Arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction versus reverse shoulder arthroplasty in patients with massive irreparable rotator cuff tears: A comparative clinical study.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the clinical and functional outcomes of reverse shoulder arthroplasty versus arthroscopic supe- rior capsular reconstruction in the treatment of patients with massive irreparable rotator cuff tears and Hamada grade 1-2 glenohumeral arthritis.

Methods: It is a retrospective case-control study comparing the prospective results of 2 different treatment methods. This retrospective comparison of groups was conducted between May 2016 and May 2020.

Gender and degree of tendon healing are independent predictive factors for clinical outcome in successfully healed rotator cuff tears.

Purpose: Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (aRCR) is a commonly performed procedure and has been reported to be a successful treatment. Successful healing has traditionally been considered to be associated with good outcome; however, knowledge on predictive factors affecting final outcome other than tendon healing is limited. This study aims to investigate predictive factors influencing clinical outcome following aRCR in patients with successfully healed tears.
