Which parameters are more reliable in proximal humerus surgery in terms of the axillary nerve?

Objectives: This study aims to examine the reliability of the old and new parameters in determining the axillary nerve safe area for surgical interventions in the proximal humerus by measuring the distances between the top of the humeral head, the top of the greater tuberosity, the base of the greater tuberosity, and the acromion and axillary nerve.

Patients And Methods: Between 2020 and 2022, a total of 52 shoulders of 26 fresh frozen male human cadavers (mean age: 46±25.5 years; range, 28 to 64 years), 26 right and 26 left were included.

The Relation between the Radial Collapse and the Number of Metaphyseal Screws for Distal Radius Fractures.

Introduction: The purpose of this study is the evaluation of radial collapse, based on the number of screws used in the metaphyseal region and by distal dorsal distance (DDD) and lunate facet distance (LFD) measurement.

Materials And Methods: Between 2015 and 2019, 60 patients who were being treated with volar locking plates due to isolated distal radius fracture were evaluated. Control radiographs were taken on the first day and at 3rd-, 6th- and 12th-month follow-ups.

Is Compressive Intramedullary Nailing an Effective Method in Aseptic Humerus Nonunions without Bone Defects?

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Treatment of nonunion of humerus continues to be a matter of debate. For this purpose, many treatment methods have been reported. The aim of this retrospective cohort study is to evaluate the results of patients who underwent revision surgery with compressive intramedullary nailing implemented a single type of surgical technique in aseptic humeral nonunions without bone defects.

Outcome of Locked Compressive Nailing in Aseptic Tibial Diaphyseal Nonunions without Bone Defect.

Background: Treatment of tibial diaphyseal nonunions are rather difficult. Plate-screw, intramedullary nailing and external fixation are the methods used for treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the treatment results of aseptic diaphyseal nonunions following tibia fractures by intramedullary compressive tibia nailing (IMCN) with or without bone graft.

Effect of intramedullary nail compression amount on the union process of tibial shaft fracture and the evaluation of this effect with a different parameter.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effects of different amounts of compression used in intramedullary nailing on the stress values of the fracture surface and time of the union process in tibia diaphysis fractures treated with intramedullary nails.

Patients And Methods: Seventy patients (50 males, 20 females; mean age 34.0±10.

Is locked compressive intramedullary nailing for adult humerus shaft fractures advantageous?

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the radiological and functional outcomes of locked compressive intramedullary nailing (IMN) cases in adult humerus shaft fractures.

Patients And Methods: A total of 24 patients (12 males, 12 females; mean age 42 years; range 23 to 55 years) with humerus fractures were treated with locked compressive IMN at the Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic, Antalya Training and Research Hospital between December 2009 and March 2015. Fluoroscopy was used only to check fracture reduction before the reaming procedure.

Comparison of non-compression and compression interlocking intramedullary nailing in rabbit femoral shaft osteotomy model.

Objectives: This study aims to compare non-compression and compression intramedullary nailing in an experimental femoral shaft osteotomy model in terms of radiological, histological, and biomechanical aspects.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-four white New Zealand rabbits (average weight 4.3 kg; range 4 to 4.

Is it possible to avoid intra-articular screw penetration with minimal use of fluoroscopy in the application of distal radius volar plate?

Objectives: This study aims to investigate whether or not it is possible to avoid intra-articular screw penetration in the application of distal radius volar plate with minimal use of fluoroscopy and thereby reduce to a minimum the risk of exposure of the surgical team to radiation.

Patients And Methods: Volar plate with distal screw application with minimal use of fluoroscopy was performed in a total of 50 patients (22 males, 28 females; mean age 43.52 years; range 18 to 76 years) with unstable distal radius fracture following reduction of fracture between June 2014 and May 2016.

[Morphometric anatomic study and clinical significance of lunate fossa].

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the depth, transverse and sagittal diameters of lunate fossa which is a significant structure of the wrist in terms of reducing the risk for volar plate screws, which are administered in distal radius fractures, from penetrating into the joint.

Materials And Methods: Depth, transverse and sagittal diameters of lunate fossa in 50 right and 50 left adult dried radius bones without distal tip damage were measured by using MicroscribeG2X from the MicroScribe G series.

Results: Mean lunate fossa depth: left 2.

[Distal locking techniques without fluoroscopy in intramedullar nailing].

Objectives: In this study, we present three distal locking techniques and two checking methods in intramedullar nailing.

Patients And Methods: Between January 1999 and December 2011, we performed distal locking with locked intramedullary nails on 501 femoral bone fractures using bone alignment and aspiration technique without fluoroscopy and 578 tibial bone fractures using medial malleolus alignment, bone alignment and aspiration technique without fluoroscopy at Antalya Training and Research Hospital.

Results: With the combination of these three locking techniques and two checking methods, locking was successful in all cases except one.

Dislocated ankle fracture complicated by near total distal ischaemia.

Total arterial ischaemia is rarely seen following a dislocated ankle fracture but if it does and intervention is not made, it can lead to serious morbidity. We present a 39-year-old woman with almost total occlusion in the arteria tibialis and arteria dorsalis pedis following a dislocated ankle fracture as a result of a bicycle fall.

Isolated unilateral absent patella and contralateral small patella.

Isolated bilateral absent patella is seen very rarely. It is generally encountered as a part of nail-patella syndrome. An 18-year-old male patient presented with left absent patella and right small patella.

Atorvastatin has cardiac safety at intensive cholesterol-reducing protocols for long term, yet its cancer-treatment doses with chemotherapy may cause cardiomyopathy even under coenzyme-Q10 protection.

Statins provide strong clinical benefits via reducing stroke deaths, and they are also considered for tumor reduction and chemo-sensitization. High dose atorvastatin in adults (80 mg daily, approx. 1 mg/kg) is proven to afford greater protection against cardiac deaths than does a standard lipid-lowering dose in coronary syndrome.
