Closed reduction evaluation in dysplastic hip with the Ömeroğlu system in children aged 24 to 36 months.

Closed reduction (CR) as an initial treatment for developmental hip dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in children aged 24 to 36 months is debatable; however, it could have better results than open reduction (OR) or osteotomies, because it is minimally invasive. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiological results in children (24-36 months) with DDH initially treated with CR. Initial, subsequent, final anteroposterior pelvic radiological records were retrospectively analyzed.

Postaxial hypoplasia of the lower extremity associated with congenital dislocation of the patella: A case report.

Rationale: Evaluation of clinical and radiologic abnormalities in patients with postaxial hypoplasia of the lower extremity (PHLE) for treatment decisions represents a major challenge, which is more complicated when PHLE is associated with congenital dislocation of the patella.

Patient Concerns: : Herein, we present the case of an 8-year-old female patient with evident length inequality in her left lower extremity and inability to walk.

Diagnoses: Radiological evaluation revealed PHLE with fibular hemimelia, proximal femoral focal deficiency, tarsal coalition, and congenital patellar dislocation of the patella.

Survival at 30 days in elderly patients with hip fracture surgery who were exposed to hypothermia: Survival study.

The effect of hypothermia as a mortality risk factor at 30 days in the elderly who had hip fracture (HF) surgery is still controversial because it may be due to a set of poorly identified factors. In this study, we aim to determine if exposure to intra and immediate postoperative hypothermia increases the incidence of mortality at 30 days in elderly patients who had HF surgery.Survival study in the elderly who had HF surgery with and without exposure to hypothermia.

Serial DaT-SPECT imaging in asymptomatic carriers of LRRK2 G2019S mutation: 8 years' follow-up.

Background: Carriers of the G2019S mutation of LRRK2 provide a great opportunity to investigate the premotor stages of Parkinson's disease (PD). We have studied by serial clinical and dopamine transporter single photon emission computed tomography (DaT-SPECT) evaluations a cohort of asymptomatic carriers of the LRRK2-G2019S mutation in order to evaluate the usefulness of these tools as biomarkers. Here we report the results of the extended follow-up of this cohort at 8 years.

Obesity, depression and factors associated to the quality of life in total knee arthroplasty.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis can be accompanied by depression and obesity, which could affect the quality of life (QOL) and function after a total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Objective: To compare the QOL in subjects with depression and obesity 5 years after TKA.

Methods: Cross-sectional study of prospectively collected data, with two and three groups based on depression and obesity status.

Work, sport activities and factors associated with medial meniscal tears in nonathletic subjects.

Background: It is known that late surgical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is associated with a medial meniscal (MM) tears. However, the association between factors relating to sports and work activities and joint instability, has not been examined in non-athletic subjects.

Objective: To compare sports and work activities and other factors associated with MM tears, in subjects with ACL rupture.

Depression and geriatric assessment in older people admitted for hip fracture.

Background: Depression is common among older people with hip fracture.

Aim: To assess depression scores and other mental and physical health variables in older people with and without depression, admitted to a traumatology ward for a hip fracture.

Material And Methods: Cross sectional study of older patients admitted for surgical treatment of hip fracture.
