Introduction: Intra-articular distal radius fractures have long been massively discussed in the literature, but regarding to fractures that possess rotated volar medial fragment in the joint a few amount papers has been written. In this article, we would like to emphasize the significance of the rotated palmar medial (lunate facet) fragment.

Case Report: A 39-year-old man fell from a height of about 3 m and landed on his right outstretched hand; within 40 min, he arrived at our clinic presenting with a severe pain and swelling in his right wrist.

A 32-year-old male patient presented to our clinic with chronic left knee pain that was ongoing for about 1.5 years. The patient visited several times our clinic and the other clinics; conservative treatment (including rest, knee brace, and ice application with NSAIDs) was recommended by various different doctors.

Introduction: The debate regarding the description on classification and nomenclature of the injury which includes olecranon fracture associated with radial neck fractures in children is ongoing. We report two pediatric cases that could not be classified in a Monteggia-equivalents system and were treated with open reduction and k-wire fixation. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic review regarding pediatric radial neck fractures associated with olecranon fractures and presentation of two pediatric cases of olecranon fractures associated with radial neck fractures with radiocapitellar dislocation.

Background: Degenerative changes of the knee joint and clinical follow-up after meniscal subluxation are well documented. In the current study three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis (FEA) of human lower limb was used to investigate the effect medial meniscal subluxation on the loadings of the knee structures.

Methods: Apart from the reference model, a total of ten 3D models were created, according to amount of medial meniscal subluxation.

Herein, we report clinical, radiological, and follow-up results of seven cases of extraordinary located osteochondromas and highlight the importance of rare and unusual properties of unusual locations of osteochondromas. Seven patients with extraordinary located osteochondromas were treated in our institution (Antalya Memorial Hospital) between the period of February 2009 and March 2014 were reported. The patients were classified according to the localization, symptomatology, and the presence of neurovascular involvement or organ compression.

Our patient was a 76-year-old female who has been operated on 2 times in 8 years for pelvic chondrosarcoma. The patient came to our clinic with a large mass in left iliac region which extended into the paravertebral area. Physical examination and preoperative imagining studies revealed a mass at the left iliac area that infiltrated sciatic notch and extended from posterior iliac region towards the anterior side of iliac bone through the sciatic notch and an incisional hernia including descending colon.

Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) is rare in young adults. Claudication of the young patient, which is often overlooked, is a very rare symptom for orthopedic surgeons. In elder patients, the physician might expect atherosclerotic claudication, however in young patients, popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) should be considered as a possibility in the cases of claudication.

Fractures that split the humeral head are extremely rare, and usually, the split part is posteriorly dislocated. However, in our case, the split part was anteriorly dislocated and trapped between the anterior glenoid and the subscapularis muscle. In this case, the acquisition of preoperative CT results was vital to plan the exposure and reduction strategies.

Additional suture anchor fixation to coracoclaviculer area with precountered distal clavicle locking plate allows an anatomic reduction with bone-bone contact and gives additional neutralisation effect with coracoclavicular suture anchor fixation against the trapezius muscle pulling effect .Event though the effeciency of this technique reported by other authors,still there is a few articles and cases reported.In the terms of proving the efficiency of the combination technique we would like to stress to contribute the published article by Haque et al.

This report concerns an unusual cause of sciatica. The case presented is of a young man with myositis ossificans that resulted in sciatica and was treated with en bloc excision and low-dose radiotherapy and indomethacine. The aim of this study was to explain the different diagnostic properties of myositis ossificans around the hip and non-classic causes of sciatica.

Solitary synovial osteochondromas are rarely seen. Usually arising from the juxta-articular soft tissues without attaching to the bone, these lesions can be large and show clinical and radiological features of a malignant process. This report is about a 64-year-old woman with no history of trauma.

This report concerns an unusual cause of anterior ankle impingement. The case of a young male with Trevor's disease mimicking an anterior spur of the ankle that resulted in anterior impingement and treated with ankle arthroscopy is presented. The aim of this study is to explain the different diagnostic properties of Trevor's disease from a classic anterior spur.

Dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica is a rare non-hereditary epiphyseal disease that mimics synovial chondromatosis of the joints. The disease mainly targets long bones of the lower extremities and tarsal bones. We report one such case manifesting in the lateral tibia of a 13-year-old boy.

Discoid lateral meniscus is a rare disorder and its association with other variations in the knee joint has been reported. The anterior intermeniscal ligament has also been described as connecting the anterior convex margin of the lateral meniscus to the anterior horn of the medial meniscus. In the normal population, it was observed at 53-94%.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to develop an optical system to measure damaged cartilage thickness in-vivo and real time using an optical fiber probe and conducting ex-vivo elastic light-scattering spectroscopy experiments on different thicknesses of damaged calf's patella cartilage.

Materials And Methods: An elastic light-scattering spectroscopy system was assembled with a miniature UV-VIS spectrometer, halogen-tungsten light source, laptop and optical fiber probe. Elastic light-scattering spectra were taken on the control and damaged calf's patella cartilages of 40 samples.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the detailed histological characteristics of membranous and cord-like anterior intermeniscal ligaments (AIMLs) by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and light microscopy. Ten biopsies of AIMLs were sampled from 10 knees during total knee arthroplasty procedures. Three of them were membranous and 7 of them were cord-like.

Partial meniscectomy is the most widely used intervention in the arthroscopic treatment of meniscal disorders. Despite improved arthroscopic techniques and instrumentation, surgery of the lateral compartment is still challenging. The "wheel track" technique, first described here, will facilitate partial meniscectomy in cases where surgical intervention presents difficulties, in particular at the corpus or the anterior horn of the menisci, and the discoid meniscus.
