Successful results obtained in the treatment of adolescent forearm fractures with locked intramedullary nailing.

Purpose: In the surgical treatment of paediatric forearm fractures, plate-screw and titanium elastic nails are used. During the transformation of ligamento-osseous structures from adolescence form into adult form, more stable fixation is required. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of locked intramedullary nail fixation in adolescent forearm fractures.

Distal radius correction osteotomy with tricortical bone graft is a successful method in heavy smokers.

Background: Corrective osteotomy is a technically challenging surgical option to improve wrist function in tilted distal radius malunions. However fracture healing in smokers is adversely affected. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological effect of cigarettes on bone union in heavy-smokers who underwent corrective osteotomy with a triangular bone graft harvested from the iliac crest.

Higher reliability of triple-phase bone scintigraphy in cementless total hip arthroplasty compared to cementless bipolar hemiarthroplasty.

Purpose: Periprosthetic infection is one of the main reasons for revision surgery after hip arthroplasty. The purpose of the present study is to compare the reliability of triple-phase bone scintigraphy (TPBS) in the diagnosis of periprosthetic infection between cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) and bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA).

Methods: In this retrospective study, 52 patients were analyzed; 33 of them were performed with THA and 19 of them were performed with BHA.

Fracture of the cemented femoral component following hemiarthroplasty in physically active patient: A case report.

Introduction: Fracture of the femoral stem following hip arthroplasty has become very rare since the developments in modern prosthetic designs. Prevention by identifying the risk factors is the best way to overcome these complex problems, as treatment is difficult.

Case Report: Femoral component fracture after cemented hemiarthroplasty in a physically active 64-year-old, male patient is reported in this present article.
