Functional Outcomes and Complication Analysis of Plate Osteosynthesis versus Hemiarthroplasty in Three-part and Four-part Proximal Humerus Fractures.

Objective: To compare the functional results and complications of open reduction-internal fixation and hemiarthroplasty performed in Neer three-part and four-part proximal humerus fractures.

Methods: The retrospective study was conducted at the Istanbul Training and Research Hospital, Turkey, and comprised data of patients who were diagnosed with three-part or four-part fracture of the proximal humerus and underwent surgical procedure between January 2008 and April 2013. Those who had undergone open reduction-internal fixation using anatomical locking plates were placed in group A, and those who had undergone hemiarthroplasty were in group B.

Long-Term results of total Hip Arthroplasty performed using a cementless expansive Acetabular Cup and Spotorno Femoral Stem.

Objective: In this study we aimed to investigate the long-term clinical and radiological results, revision rates and causes, and the rate of implant survival in total hip arthroplasty performed using CLS expansion cup and Spotorno cementless femoral stem.

Methods: Clinical results of total hip arthroplasty performed on 131 hips of 114 patients in Istanbul Training and Research Hospital between 1993 and 2003 were retrospectively evaluated according to the Harris Hip Score.

Background: The aims of this study were: 1. To evaluate the use of the tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance as a measurement showing rotational instability after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. 2.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE FUNCTIONAL OUTCOME OF OXFORD PHASE 3 UNICOMPARTMENTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY.

Objective: To determine the factors that affect the functional outcome of Oxford Phase 3 unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA).

Methods: We assessed a total of 52 UKA knees of 49 patients with a minimum follow-up of 2 years (24-72 months). We recorded the results for Range of motion (ROM) and body mass index (BMI) and the presence o patello-femoral arthrosis (PFA).

The frequency of reduction loss after arthroscopic fixation of acute acromioclavicular dislocations using a double-button device, and its effect on clinical and radiological results.

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of reduction loss of more than 3 mm on clinical and radiological results after at least 2 years of follow-up after arthroscopic fixation of acute acromioclavicular joint dislocations using a double-button device.

Methods: Thirty-six patients who had acute (< 3 weeks old), type III or V acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocations underwent arthroscopic fixation of the AC joint using a double-button device. Clinical and radiological evaluations were performed at preoperative, postoperative first day, 3 months and last follow-up.

Radiologic Outcomes and Complication Analysis of the Posterior Vertebral Column Resection in the Treatment of Previously Operated Severe Kyphoscoliosis: A Retrospective Case Series.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiologic outcomes and complication analysis of posterior vertebral column resection (PVCR) performed on previously operated patients with severe kyphoscoliosis (SK).

Methods: Twelve patients (6 men and 6 women) with SK underwent PVCR. The mean age of the patients preoperatively was 16 years (range, 10-26 years).

Medial Swivel Dislocation of the Talonavicular Joint with Associated Cuboid Fracture.

Medial talonavicular dislocation associated with cuboid fracture is rare. We report an 18-year-old man with this injury who exhibited excellent results after open reduction and stabilization of the joint with temporary Kirshner wires.

Comparison of early clinical results and re-tear rates of transosseous-equivalent rotator cuff repairs with or without medial knots.

Objectives: This study aims to compare the clinical results and repair integrity of two of the commonly used transosseous-equivalent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair techniques, which are the knotless and the medial knotted suture bridge, for patients with full-thickness medium to large-sized rotator cuff tears.

Patients And Methods: The study included 121 patients (55 males, 66 females; mean age 56.7±7.

The Effect of Critical Shoulder Angle on Clinical Scores and Retear Risk After Rotator Cuff Tendon Repair at Short-term Follow Up.

The authors aimed to investigate whether standard acromioplasty can reduce critical shoulder angle (CSA) effectively and to investigate the effects of postoperative CSA on the clinical outcomes and retear rates. Patients are divided in to three groups: group 1 (24 patients): CSA under 35° before surgery, group 2 (25 patients): CSA over 35° before surgery and under 35° after surgery and group 3 (17 patients): CSA over 35° before and after surgery. Standard acromioplasty was performed if CSA is over 35 and no acromioplasty was performed if the CSA is already under 35.

The effect of morbid obesity (BMI ≥ 35 kg/m) on functional outcome and complication rate following unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: a case-control study.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the functional outcomes and complication rates of patients in short-term and midterm follow-up period when medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA)-applied patients were grouped according to BMI values.

Methods: One hundred four patients (mean age 60.2 ± 7.

Objective Measurement of Medial Joint Space Widening with Percutaneous "Pie Crust" Release of Medial Collateral Ligament during Knee Arthroscopy.

Knee arthroscopy may be called the most commonly and increasingly performed orthopaedic procedure. Posterior medial compartment visualization may be quite challenging. The aim of the present study is to detect objective measurement of medial joint space widening with percutaneous "pie crust" release of medial collateral ligament (MCL) during knee arthroscopy.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Lever Sign Test in Acute, Chronic, and Postreconstructive ACL Injuries.

Background: The aim of this study is to determine the diagnostic accuracy of lever sign test in acute, chronic, and postreconstructive ACL injuries.

Methods: In total, 78 patients (69 male, 9 female) were subjected to clinical instability tests including Lachman, anterior drawer, pivot shift, and lever sign when an injury of the ACL was suspected. All tests were performed bilaterally in all patients in acute, chronic period and patients who underwent surgery after the anaesthesia and after the reconstruction at the last follow-up by two senior orthopaedic surgeons.

Is anterolateral ligament rupture a reason for persistent rotational instability after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction?

Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical role of anterolateral ligament (ALL) rupture and its impact on rotational stability by comparing the clinical results and rotational stability between reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) with intact ALL knees and reconstructed ACL with ALL injured knees.

Methods: A total of 69 patients who had undergone surgery for ACL reconstruction and had received a minimum of two years of follow-up were included. Patients were divided into two groups with respect to the presence of ALL rupture on knee magnetic resonance imaging.

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF RETAINED WOODEN FOREIGN BODIES IN THE EXTREMITIES USING ULTRASOUND.

Objective: This study investigates ultrasonography as an effective tool for localizing and measuring the depth and size of wooden foreign bodies to perform less invasive and easier surgery without the need for any additional radiological techniques.

Methods: Fifteen patients were operated to remove foreign bodies in the extremities in 2016. The side of the affected extremity, the material, size, and location of the foreign body and time of admission after injury were noted, along with CRP, WBC, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate; length of incision, surgery duration, and complications were evaluated.
