Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the presence and size of fibrous cysts affected postoperative results in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy.

Patients And Methods: Between January 2010 and December 2019, a total of 261 patients (138 males, 123 females; mean age: 39.5±11.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to investigate how different anesthesia methods and perioperative procedures affect mortality in older patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.
  • Analysis of data from 451 patients revealed no significant difference in mortality rates based on anesthesia methods used.
  • Key factors associated with increased mortality included being male, receiving more blood transfusions, having a higher ASA score, and having a higher modified Charlson comorbidity index.

Article Synopsis
  • * Patients undergoing surgery for DDH were grouped based on different factors like age and family history, with the research focusing on the histological features and the presence of specific proteins (MMP-2, MMP-9, and ADAMTS-7).
  • * Findings show that the ligamentum teres has signs of moderate inflammation and other changes, and that the levels of MMP-2, MMP-9, and ADAMTS-7 are positively linked to these tissue changes

Article Synopsis
  • The study compared the effectiveness of local massage, corticosteroid injections, and extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on patients with lateral epicondylitis (LE).
  • 52 patients were randomly assigned to one of the three treatment groups and assessed using various clinical scoring systems at multiple follow-up points over six months.
  • Results indicated that ESWT provided the best long-term outcomes, while corticosteroid injections showed worsening effects over time, suggesting a need for further research on combined treatment approaches.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates changes in vascular flow characteristics in clubfoot after Ponseti treatment, using resistive index (RI) and peak systolic velocity (PSV) as key parameters measured by Color Doppler ultrasonography (CDU).
  • In a sample of 34 feet from 24 patients, it was found that RI values were lower and PSV values higher in normal control feet compared to those with clubfoot; only the dorsalis pedis artery showed significant improvement post-treatment.
  • The research concluded that while clubfoot patients had vascular pathology, treatment can enhance vascular development, yet initial deformity severity did not correlate with RI or PSV changes, and overall prognosis from vascular flow changes remained unclear.
