The relationship between the shape of rotator cuff tears and shoulder anatomical parameters.

Background: The aim of this study is to investigate the potential relationship between shoulder anatomical parameters and the shape of rotator cuff tears (L-shaped, U-shaped, and crescent-shaped).

Materials And Methods: The study included 160 (n:160) patients. Patients were divided into four groups: crescent type, u type and L type tears and control group.

An immunohistochemical and biomechanical evaluation of the effect of fat graft on tendon healing.

Aim: To investigate the efficacy of fat grafting in primary tendon healing through immunohistochemical and biomechanical examinations.

Material And Method: The study material comprised a total of 10 male Sprague-Dawley rats, each approximately 10 weeks old. All 10 rats were operated on bilaterally.

Are orthopedic surgeons able to detect 3 mm and 5 mm joint step off on fluoroscopy?

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine whether joint step-off created experimentally at 3 mm and 5 mm in the tibial lateral plateau can be accurately evaluated by orthopedic surgeons on fluoroscopic images.

Patients And Methods: A lateral tibia plateau fracture was created experimentally on above-the-knee amputated material. Using a ruler, step-off at 3 mm and then at 5 mm was made on the joint surface, then joint and lateral fluoroscopy images were obtained.
