The long-term results of treating radial neck fractures in children with the Metaizeau technique.

Purpose: Radial neck fractures in children are rare, representing less than 1% of all pediatric fractures. While conservative treatments are often sufficient, displaced fractures may require closed or open reduction. The Metaizeau technique is widely accepted for closed reduction and internal fixation.

The Effect of Local Tranexamic Acid Administration on Blood Loss and Transfusion in Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Retrospective Study.

Objectives: The standard surgical method for primary gonarthrosis in advanced stages is total knee arthroplasty (TKA), despite the risk of bleeding that requires transfusion. Blood transfusions are potentially dangerous. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a statistical difference in the amount of bleeding and the need for transfusion between patients who received and did not receive perioperative local tranexamic acid in TKA.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging for Acute Musculoskeletal Injuries of the Knee Joint in Coal Miners: A Retrospective Study.

Aim: Coal miners are more prone to musculoskeletal injuries to their knees due to specific repetitive movements while working in the seams. We aimed to identify the kinds of and quantify traumatic musculoskeletal injuries to the knee in the coal miners.

Methods: A retrospective observational analysis of all consecutive emergency admissions of the coal miners with occupational knee injuries between January 2018 and December 2020 was performed.

The effects of intravenous and local tranexamic acid on bone healing: An experimental study in the rat tibia fracture model.

Background: Tranexamic acid (TXA) is an antifibrinolytic agent. It has long been used to reduce the need for perioperative blood loss in various surgeries. Few studies have investigated the effects of local and intravenous administration of TXA on fracture healing.
