Comparison of Surgical Results of Modified Stoppa and Ilioinguinal Approach in Patients with Acetabular Fractures Involving Quadrilateral Surface Fractures.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of surgical treatment in patients with acetabular fractures with a fractured quadrilateral surface treated using two different approaches.

Methods: The study included 106 patients who were operated on with ilioinguinal (group A) or modified Stoppa (group B) technique for acetabular fracture with a fractured quadrilateral surface between 2011 and 2020 in our clinic. The quality of reduction was evaluated according to Matta criteria and postoperative pelvic (anteroposterior, external oblique, iliac oblique) radiographs.

The Impact of Bone Marrow Venting Augmentation on Knee Functions in the Repair of Vertical/Longitudinal Meniscus Tears: A Triple Comparison.

Objective: Preserving and restoring meniscus function is crucial for maintaining knee biomechanics and overall functionality. To enhance the healing process after meniscus repair, various biological techniques have been introduced. In this study, three treatment approaches examined were bone marrow venting with stem cells (BMVP), anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with meniscus repair, and isolated meniscus repair.

A Single-Center Comparative Study: Outcome Analysis of Fixation Techniques for Tibiotalocalcaneal Arthrodesis.

Introduction Tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis (TTCA) is a well-known and accepted surgical technique for end-stage ankle osteoarthritis. The aim of this study is to compare the postoperative clinical and radiological comparison of retrograde intramedullary nailing (RIMN) and plate/cannulated screw (P/cS) fixation methods in patients undergoing TTCA. Methods Patients with end-stage ankle osteoarthritis due to traumatic causes or rheumatic diseases between December 2012 and March 2019 were included in the retrospective study.

Evaluation of the effect of proximal femur geometry on results of geriatric intertrochanteric fracture surgery.

Background: This study aimed to explore the relationship between the complications and clinical outcomes after intertrochanteric femoral fracture surgery, and the Singh index (SI), canal-calcar ratio (CCR), cortical thickness index (CTI), and canal flare index (CFI) - the radiological indices defining proximal femoral morphology in the literature - among patients over 60 years of age.

Methods: The data of 350 patients who were operated between 2015 and 2019 were evaluated retrospectively. The study included patients who underwent dual lag screw proximal femoral nailing and had good intraoperative reduction quality according to Fogagnolo's criteria.

Fixation of open, unstable tuft fractures in toddlers and preschool-aged children using a 25-gauge hypodermic needle.

This study aimed to assess the treatment process of open, unstable tuft fractures occurring in toddlers and preschool-aged children treated using a 25-gauge hypodermic needle in the emergency department, and the cosmetic and functional results achieved by this treatment. This retrospective cohort study included a total of 72 patients. Children aged two to six years were included in the study.

Radiological and functional outcomes of modified Metaizeau technique in displaced radial neck fractures.

The management of displaced radial neck fractures in children is still a controversial topic. The objective of this study is to examine the outcomes of modified Metaizeau technique in the children with displaced radius neck fractures. The retrospective study included 15 children with displaced radial neck fracture with an angulation of more than 30° who were managed with the use of leverage technique by mosquito clamps and internal fixation with elastic stable intramedullary nailing (ESIN).

Surgery or Conservative Treatment of Forearm in Patients Diagnosed with Pediatric Floating Elbow? Retrospective Analysis of 60 Consecutive Cases.

Background: The coexistence of supracondylar humerus fracture and forearm fracture is a rare trauma (3-13%) and it is called floating elbow. The aim of this study is to clinically compare the treatment outcomes of the patients diagnosed with floating elbow who underwent surgical treatment and who were followed up forearm with immobilization with splint.

Materials And Methods: When scanned retrospectively, 60 patients who were treated with the diagnosis of floating elbow due to traumatic causes and followed up for at least 1 year were included in our study.

The Floating Knee Injuries: Does it Need a New Classification System?

Background: This study aims to determine the differences between the clinical and radiological results of patients based on Karlstrom-Olerud Scoring System who cannot be included in any classification for floating knee injuries and to seek an answer to the question of whether a new classification is needed.

Material And Methods: Seventy patients with floating knee injuries treated in our clinic were retrospectively analyzed between 2008 and 2019 in the study. The results of fractures that classifiable and unclassifiable according to the Fraser, Blake and McBryde classifications were statistically compared based on the Karlstrom-Olerud criteria.

Comparison of two different proximal femoral nails in instabil intertrochanteric fractures concerning radiological parameters.

Background: The aim of this study was to compare two different nail types (i.e., Intertan (IT) and Talon Distal Fix Nail / Lag Screw (TDFN)) used in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures in mobile patients over 65 years of age in terms of radiological parameters.

The Top 100 Most-Cited Articles on Ankle Arthroscopy: Bibliometric Analysis.

The aim of this study was to analyze the 100 most-cited articles on ankle arthroscopy. Using the keyword ankle arthroscopy, the 100 most-cited articles in the Web of Science database were analyzed. Original articles, reviews, clinical trials, and case reports were included in the study.

How do vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty affect the quality of life of patients with multiple myeloma spinal metastasis?

Background: Metastatic spinal lesions are diseases that impair the quality of life and require early diagnosis and treatment. The count of spinal metastasis patients rises day by day. Increased life expectancy has increased the incidence of cancer, making metastases more observable.

Intramedullary nailing and angulation prevention in distal metaphyseal tibial fractures.

Intramedullary nailing, which is preferred in tibial diaphyseal fractures, is also frequently used in distal third tibial fractures. Various angular deformities, including varus/valgus deformity, may be observed during postintramedullary nailing. Orthopedic surgeons use several methods to prevent this problem.

Extra-articular Tenosynovial Chondromatosis Mimicking a Neoplastic Disease in the First Web Space of the Hand.

Tenosynovial chondromatosis is a very rare disease. The most common symptom is a slowly enlarging soft tissue mass, which may be painful or cause limitation of joint motion. Plain radiograph may appear normal during early phases of the disease, but subsequent imaging may be necessary to exclude other pathologies.

Compartment syndrome on a patient's forearm related to carbon monoxide poisoning.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, odorless, nonirritating, toxic gas produced by the incomplete oxidation of hydrocarbons. Common sources of CO include motor vehicles, house fires, furnaces/heaters, and wood-burning stoves. It is a serious health problem resulting in approximately 50,000 visits to the emergency department and is responsible for 3500 deaths annually in the United States.

Retroperitoneoscopic drainage of complicated psoas abscesses in patients with tuberculous lumbar spondylitis.

Purpose: Nowadays, endoscopic techniques are widely used in surgical procedures. Retroperitoneoscopy has been an extremely valuable tool for a wide variety of urologic disorders, whereas, it has limited use in orthopedic procedures.

Methods: We performed retroperitoneoscopic drainage (in combination with medical treatment) of complicated psoas abscess on 12 patients with tuberculous spondylitis.
