Article Synopsis
- - This study examines the effectiveness of the UCBL foot orthosis, both with and without Kinesio Tape (KT), for treating symptomatic flexible pes planus (SFPP) in young athletes.
- - Fifty patients participated, with one group using the orthosis with KT and the other using it alone; results showed better outcomes in the KT group, including fewer complications.
- - Findings indicate that KT enhances treatment by reducing foot pronation, improving function, and leading to better compliance and faster recovery in patients with SFPP.
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY In this study we aimed to investigate the clinical and radiographic results of AO/OTA 31 A3 fractures operated on with either a proximal femoral lateral locking plate or short cephalomedullary nails. MATERIAL AND METHODS/RESULTS Medical data of patients treated with either implant were evaluated retrospectively. Patients > 55 years old sustaining an AO 31 A3 type fracture with a minimum follow-up of one year from two institutions were included in the study.

Purpose: Aim of our study was to compare the effects of partial meniscectomy and meniscus repair on knee proprioception and function.
Methods: The study included 46 patients with clinical and radiological diagnosis of meniscal tear and accompanying anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. The patients were evaluated under two groups: group 1: partial meniscectomy and ACL reconstruction, and group 2: meniscal repair and ACL reconstruction.
