Which parameters are more reliable in proximal humerus surgery in terms of the axillary nerve?

Objectives: This study aims to examine the reliability of the old and new parameters in determining the axillary nerve safe area for surgical interventions in the proximal humerus by measuring the distances between the top of the humeral head, the top of the greater tuberosity, the base of the greater tuberosity, and the acromion and axillary nerve.

Patients And Methods: Between 2020 and 2022, a total of 52 shoulders of 26 fresh frozen male human cadavers (mean age: 46±25.5 years; range, 28 to 64 years), 26 right and 26 left were included.

The Relation between the Radial Collapse and the Number of Metaphyseal Screws for Distal Radius Fractures.

Introduction: The purpose of this study is the evaluation of radial collapse, based on the number of screws used in the metaphyseal region and by distal dorsal distance (DDD) and lunate facet distance (LFD) measurement.

Materials And Methods: Between 2015 and 2019, 60 patients who were being treated with volar locking plates due to isolated distal radius fracture were evaluated. Control radiographs were taken on the first day and at 3rd-, 6th- and 12th-month follow-ups.

Is Compressive Intramedullary Nailing an Effective Method in Aseptic Humerus Nonunions without Bone Defects?

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Treatment of nonunion of humerus continues to be a matter of debate. For this purpose, many treatment methods have been reported. The aim of this retrospective cohort study is to evaluate the results of patients who underwent revision surgery with compressive intramedullary nailing implemented a single type of surgical technique in aseptic humeral nonunions without bone defects.

Outcome of Locked Compressive Nailing in Aseptic Tibial Diaphyseal Nonunions without Bone Defect.

Background: Treatment of tibial diaphyseal nonunions are rather difficult. Plate-screw, intramedullary nailing and external fixation are the methods used for treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the treatment results of aseptic diaphyseal nonunions following tibia fractures by intramedullary compressive tibia nailing (IMCN) with or without bone graft.
