Complications After Intramedullary Fixation Treatment of Patients With Osteogenesis Imperfecta: Telescopic Versus Non-Telescopic Implants.

Introduction The treatment of musculoskeletal pathologies in osteogenesis imperfecta aims to provide the maximum possible function by preventing bone fractures and progressive deformities. Despite the development of implants used in the surgical treatment of osteogenesis imperfecta, there is no consensus on the most appropriate method for the correction of skeletal deformities. The aim of this study was to compare telescopic and non-telescopic implants in terms of postoperative complications.

The utility of standing knee radiographs for detection of lipohemarthrosis: comparison with supine horizontal beam radiographs.

Objectives: Lipohemarthrosis is a key finding in acute trauma patients and indicates an intra-articular fracture. The horizontal beam lateral radiography with supine position is known to be the best technique to demonstrate knee lipohemarthrosis. Our main purpose was to compare the sensitivity of supine and standing lateral knee radiographs to detect lipohemarthrosis.

Background: The study aimed to compare the outcomes of combined calcaneocuboid arthrodesis and split anterior tibialis tendon transfer (SPLATT) procedure to isolated SPLATT surgery for the treatment of the spastic equinovarus deformity in children with cerebral palsy (CCP).

Methods: Forty-one ambulatory CCP with 56 equinovarus feet, with positive flexor withdrawal reflex test results, were studied. The average age was 9.

Is immediate internal fixation safe in induced membrane technique?

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the treatment outcomes of patients treated with induced membrane technique (IMT) for the reconstruction of bone defects and to identify factors associated with the success and failure of the modified technique.

Patients And Methods: Between January 2016 and April 2021, a total of 23 adult patients (20 males, 3 females; median age: 39.9 years; range, 20 to 69 years) who underwent bone reconstruction using the IMT for established pseudoarthrosis and acute bone loss were retrospectively analyzed.

Does pin configuration matter in modified tension band wiring for transverse patellar fracture? A biomechanical study.

Background: Modified tension band wiring has been widely used for the treatment of transverse patellar fractures. The optimal position of a Kirschner wire (K-wire) in modified tension band wiring, however, has not yet been determined. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate biomechanically the effect of K-wire position in a modified tension band wiring technique.

Direct Radiography Following Fracture Reduction Improves the Reliability of Pauwels Classification.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Pauwels classification system is widely used to classify the femoral neck fractures. Even its widely usage there are severals debates about its reliability. After the femoral neck fracture occured the lower extremity rotates externally and this external rotation deformity could lead to misevaluation of Pauwels angle at the initial radiographs.

Instant messaging application usage for clinical consultation among orthopedic surgery residents in Turkey: A survey study.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the characteristics of instant messaging application (IMA) usage for clinical consultation among orthopedic residents in Turkey and to explore their experiences and opinions concerning potential legal problems.

Methods: A questionnaire titled "Instant messaging for consultation among orthopedic surgeons" consisting of 21 questions was applied to orthopedic surgery residents, and the results were analyzed. The questions were designed to obtain information on 4 categories: 1) demographics and professional experience, 2) attitudes on the use of cellular phones, 3) IMA usage for clinical consultation purposes, and 4) problems and comments on smartphone application usage for clinical consultation purposes.

Assessing the role of hip arthrography in the treatment decision making for children with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the role of hip arthrography in the treatment decision making for children with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD).

Methods: A total of 47 consecutive children with LCPD (42 boys, 5 girls; mean age=7.5 years; range=6-10 years) who underwent operative treatment were included in the study.

The Effect of Clinical Knowledge and Surgical Experience on Treatment Choice in Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease: Intra-observer and Inter-observer Reliability Study.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate standardized hip radiographs, arthographs, demographic characteristics, physical examination findings, and their effects on treatment choices in leg-calve-perthes disease (LCPD).
