Surgical treatment of patellar tendon rupture after total knee arthroplasty with a double-row repair method using the hamstring tendons: A novel technique with functional results.

Background: Patellar tendon rupture (PTR) is extremely rare but serious complication after primary or revision total knee arthroplasty. Due to the serious failure rates of end-to-end repair techniques, various augmentation techniques have been described. In this study, the results of patients with PTR after reconstruction using our own technique with semitendinosus (ST) and gracilis tendons taken from the affected side were evaluated retrospectively.

Volar fixed plating of distal radius fractures: optimizing plate position for enhanced clinical outcomes.

Background: The precise influence of plate position on clinical outcomes in the context of volar fixed-angle plating for distal radius fractures is not fully understood. This article aims to investigate the influence of plate position on clinical results, and functional outcomes in patients treated with volar fixed plating for distal radius fractures.

Methods: A total of 58 patients with 64 distal radius fractures were included in the study.

A novel robot-assisted knee arthroplasty system (ROSA) and 1-year outcome: A single center experience.

Background: Total knee arthroplasty is a successful procedure in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Searches in surgical technique have focused surgeons in particular on implant alignment. For this purpose, the use of robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty has become increasingly common in the last 10 years.

Risk Factors for Surgical Site Infections Following Fasciotomy in Patients With Acute Compartment Syndrome: A Study on the February 2023 Kahramanmaraş Earthquake.

Introduction: Surgical site infections (SSIs) developing after fasciotomy are difficult to treat, costly, and an important source of mortality and morbidity. This study aimed to determine the risk factors affecting the development of SSI in patients who underwent fasciotomy with the diagnosis of acute compartment syndrome (ACS) within 72 hours after two consecutive earthquakes of 7.7 and 7.

Comparison of the Results of Patients Treated With Limb-Sparing Treatment Options in Malignant Bone Tumors: Sharing the Experience of Twelve Bicentric Patients.

Objectives: Extremity-sparing surgery should be the main objective if a functional extremity is to be obtained in cases of malignant bone tumors. After extensive resection, numerous techniques have been described to reconstruct bone defects. This study aimed to compare the outcomes of patients who underwent external radiation therapy and liquid nitrogen biological reconstruction at two different facilities.

Fixation techniques in lower extremity correction osteotomies and fractures in mild-to-severe osteogenesis imperfecta patients: evaluation of the results and complications.

Introduction: Osteogenesis imperfecta is a genetic disorder leading to multiple fractures and deformities. Intramedullary rods have been used in the surgical treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta for decades. Complication rates reported by current techniques have been high.

Examination of Upper Extremity Length Discrepancy in Patients with Obstetric Brachial Plexus Paralysis.

Since the natural course of obstetric brachial plexus palsy is variable, several problems are encountered. One important question, in considering patients with OBPP under observation in outpatient clinical settings, is whether children will have length discrepancies in their arms. The aim of this study was to determine differences in the length of the affected extremity, in comparison to the opposite upper extremity.

Correction of coronal plane deformities around knee in children with two-hole tension band plates.

Objectives: This study aims to present the 10-year results and complications of two-hole tension band plate hemiepiphysiodesis for coronal deformities around knee in a large population from a single center.

Patients And Methods: Seventy-seven patients (46 boys, 31 girls; mean age 93±36 months; range, 22 to 181 months) who underwent temporary hemiepiphysiodesis around knee between January 2009 and January 2019 with two-hole tension band plates were retrospectively evaluated. Improvement of joint orientation angles and mechanical axis deviations, deformity correction rates, etiology groups, and complications were noted.

Articular Cartilage Regeneration Utilizing Decellularized Human Placental Scaffold, Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Platelet Rich Plasma.

Background: Articular cartilage repair has been a challenge in orthopedic practice due to the limited self-regenerative capability. Optimal treatment method for cartilage defects has not been defined. We investigated the effect of decellularized human placental (DHP) scaffold, mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on hyaline cartilage regeneration in a rat model.
