Effect of the Pavlik harness used in the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip on unaided sitting and independent walking age.

Background: Pavlik harness is the most widely used orthosis in the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the Pavlik harness on the development of "unaided sitting" and "independent walking" in infants with developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Methods: This prospective study, conducted from 2017 to 2020, included infants undergoing Pavlik harness therapy.

Salter osteotomy has lower fluoroscopy exposure time compared to Tonnis lateral acetabuloplasty.

Salter osteotomy and Tonnis lateral acetabuloplasty (TLA) are pelvic osteotomies with similar indications and clinical results used in the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The aim of our study was to compare the intraoperative fluoroscopy exposure time (FET) in patients with DDH treated with the Salter osteotomy and TLA. In this study, data were collected prospectively and compared after the study was completed.

Isokinetic Analysis of Flexible Flatfoot: Is It a Weakness of Proprioception and Muscle Strength?

Background: Although flexible flatfoot (FF) in children is a foot deformity that is frequently encountered in daily orthopedics practice, its etiology is still controversial. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a weakness in muscle strength and proprioception in patients with FF.

Methods: The study group consisted of 16 cases with FF, and the control group consisted of 25 volunteers with normal feet.

Evolution of the angular deformity and limb length discrepancy of congenital posteromedial bowing of the tibia over time.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the natural history of congenital posteromedial bowing of the tibia (CPMBT) deformity during growth and to evaluate the outcomes of lengthening by an Ilizarov frame in CPMBT patients with limb length discrepancy (LLD).

Patients And Methods: Between January 2000 and December 2019, a total of 22 patients (12 males, 10 females; mean age: 10.5±4.

Disability and Quality of Life After Talectomy for Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita.

Background: Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is one of the causes of rigid and resistant clubfoot. Talectomy is considered as a primary or salvage procedure for recurrent equinovarus deformity in these patients. We conducted this study to assess patients with AMC who underwent talectomy for the correction of foot and ankle deformities in terms of health-related quality of life and disability.

Multivariate analysis of the predictive value of asymmetric skin creases in diagnosis of decentralized developmental dysplasia of the hip.

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) with asymmetrical skin crease (ASC) in the inguinal, gluteal and thigh regions and to determine which ASC has the most predictive value for the diagnosis of hip dislocation in infants. This study was planned as a prospective, observational study and conducted between 1 October 2020 and 1 June 2021. Asymmetric distribution of skin creases was evaluated separately in three regions (inguinal, gluteal and thigh).

Correlation of postoperative magnetic resonance image measurements with persisting acetabular dysplasia in open reduction of developmental hip dysplasia.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate correlation of post-reduction magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based parameters with residual acetabular dysplasia in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) patients who underwent open reduction.

Patients And Methods: A total of 62 hips of 54 children (5 males, 57 females; mean age: 8.5±3.

Three dimensional gait analyses in dizygotic twin athletes.

Gait analysis and gait indices are frequently used to evaluate gait pathologies and outcomes. The aim of this study is to investigate the differences in gait parameters of dizygotic twin athletes according to each other and athletes group who are similar age but non-twin. Eighty-four athletes without any disease that could cause gait pathology were included the study.

Complications, Additional Surgery, and Joint Survival Analysis After Medial Open-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy.

The reported incidence of complications following medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) varies. The authors sought to assess the complications, additional surgeries, and joint survival following MOWHTO in patients with isolated medial compartment arthrosis during a mean follow-up of 10 years. This retrospective study involved patients implanted with spacer plates, angle adjustable plates, or inverse L-type plates with wedges between 2000 and 2010.

Age-related decrease in supratrochanteric torsion and increase in infratrochanteric torsion in healthy pediatric femurs: an MRI study.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the correlation between femoral anteversion, supratrochanteric torsion (STT), and infratrochanteric torsion (ITT) in healthy developing pediatric femurs using MRI. This study included 282 (164 males and 118 females) patients aged 1-18 years. The axial MRI of patients with benign tumoral lesions of the femur was retrospectively reviewed.

Does Adductor Tenotomy Need During Closed Reduction Have a Prognostic Value in the Treatment of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip Between 6 and 12 Months of Age? "Adductor Tenotomy in the Treatment of Developmental Dysplasia''.

Background: Adductor tenotomy is needed for clinically complex hips with soft-tissue contractures. It may be proposed that the patients who need adductor tenotomy during closed reduction would have poorer prognosis than the ones without need for adductor tenotomy. The main purposes were to compare the normalization of acetabular index angle (AI), to determine the incidence of femoral head avascular necrosis (AVN), and to predict the need for any secondary surgical intervention between the patients who need adductor tenotomy and those who do not during closed reduction for developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Increased femoral anteversion related to infratrochanteric femoral torsion is associated with ACL rupture.

Purpose: To determine the association between femoral torsion and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture and determine the level of torsion using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methods: The medical records of patients who were diagnosed with ACL injury were reviewed retrospectively. This descriptive epidemiological study included 2344 patients.

A Formula to Predict the Magnitude of Achilles Tendon Lengthening Required to Correct Equinus Deformity.

Objectives: Achilles tendon lengthening (ATL) is one of the most commonly performed procedures in paediatric orthopaedic surgery. An appropriate adjustment of the amount of ATL is crucial to avoid insufficient or excessive lengthening. However, there is currently no effective method to preoperatively calculate the tendon length needed for equinus deformity correction.

Obesity-related metabolic and endocrine disorders diagnosed during postoperative follow-up of slipped capital femoral epiphysis.

Background and purpose - Patients with slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) are phenotypically overweight or obese and may therefore require clinical follow-up of obesity-related disorders. We evaluated obesity-related disorders such as dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), and vitamin-D deficiency during the postoperative period in patients with SCFE. Patients and methods - 51 patients who were operated and followed-up for SCFE and 62 healthy adolescents without SCFE (control group) were included in this retrospective study.

Tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis by using proximal humeral locking plate.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the short-term clinical and radiological results of tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis (TTCA) with proximal humeral locking plate.

Material And Methods: Eight patients (7 female, 1 male; average age 53 years (range: 24-67)) who underwent TTCA with proximal humeral locking plate between 2009 and 2011, were retrospectively evaluated with AOFAS hindfoot scale and Maryland foot score system. The mean follow up was 32.
