Management of Distal Radius Fractures: Comparison of Three Methods.

Introduction Distal radius fractures are the most common type of all extremity fractures. It is generally accepted that fractures with more than 2 mm step-off in the radiocarpal joint and greater than 10 degrees dorsal tilt should be treated surgically. However, the ideal technique for surgical management is still a point of debate.

Radiological and functional outcomes of ultrasound-guided PRP injections in intrasubstance meniscal degenerations.

Aim: This retrospective study is aimed to analyze the effect of ultrasound-guided platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections on grade 2 intrasubstance meniscal degenerations (IMDs).

Materials And Methods: Fifteen patients who underwent PRP injections for symptomatic grade 2 meniscal lesions were included in the study. All injections were performed with ultrasound in the degenerated menisci.

Assessment of hip abductors by MRI after total hip arthroplasty and effect of fatty atrophy on functional outcome.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate how fatty atrophy (FA) of the hip abductors in operated and non-operated hips affected the functional outcome following arthroplasty.

Methods: Forty-four hips of 22 patients (8 males and 14 females; mean age: 60 ± 14.4 (range: 24-84)) who matched the inclusion criteria and willing to participate in the study were retrospectively evaluated.

A comparison of continuous femoral nerve block and periarticular local infiltration analgesia in the management of early period pain developing after total knee arthroplasty.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the effects of 24-h continuous femoral nerve block (CFNB) and periarticular infiltration analgesia (PIA) on postoperative pain and functional results in the first 6 weeks after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Methods: Sixty patients who underwent unilateral TKA were included in this study. The patients were divided into two groups: Group A received CFNB and Group B received PIA.
