Does Localisation of Fracture Line, According to Epicondyles, Affect Ligamentotaxis Negatively in Displaced Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fractures?

Objective: To investigate the effect of localisation of the fracture line according to the trans-epicondylar line on open reduction rates and postoperative reduction quality.

Study Design: Observational study.

Place And Duration Of Study: Department of Orthopedic and Traumatology, Prof.

Lower numbers of mechanoreceptors in the posterior cruciate ligament and anterior capsule of the osteoarthritic knees.

Purpose: Impaired proprioception accuracy of the knee has been proposed as a local factor in the onset and progression of knee osteoarthritis. Patients with decreased numbers of mechanoreceptors could be more likely to develop arthrosis due to a loss in proprioception of the joint. We aimed to identify and quantify the mechanoreceptors of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), the anterior capsule (AC) and the medial meniscocapsular junction (MCJ) in knee arthrosis.

Anterograde Headless Cannulated Screw Fixation in the Treatment of Medial Malleolar Fractures: Evaluation of a New Technique and Its Outcomes.

Objective: To evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes of anterograde headless cannulated screw fixation for medial malleolar fractures.

Subjects And Methods: This study included 12 patients (8 males, 4 females; age 27-55 years) with medial malleolar type B fractures according to the Herscovici fracture classification who had undergone anterograde headless cannulated screw fixation surgery between 2012 and 2014. Seven had an isolated medial malleolar fracture and 5 a bimalleolar fracture.

The results of bone deformity correction using a spider frame with web-based software for lower extremity long bone deformities.

Aim: To present the functional and radiological results and evaluate the effectiveness of a computer-assisted external fixator (spider frame) in patients with lower extremity shortness and deformity.

Materials And Methods: The study comprised 17 patients (14 male, 3 female) who were treated for lower extremity long bone deformity and shortness between 2012 and 2015 using a spider frame. The procedure's level of difficulty was determined preoperatively using the Paley Scale.

Inferior hip dislocation after falling from height: A case report.

Introduction: Traumatic inferior hip dislocation is the least common of all hip dislocations. Adult inferior hip dislocations usually occur after high-energy trauma, very few cases are reported without fracture.

Presentation Of Case: A 26-year-old female was brought to the emergency department with severe pain in the left hip, impaired posture and restricted movement following a fall from 15m height.

The effects of osteoporosis on functional outcome in patients with distal radius fracture treated with plate osteosynthesis.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of osteoporosis on functional results in patients with distal radius fracture treated with plate osteosynthesis.

Methods: The study included 37 female patients who underwent osteosynthesis using volar locking plate for distal radius fracture between 2006 and 2008. Diagnosis of osteoporosis was made with bone mineral density measurement.

Reconstruction of shoulder abduction and external rotation with latissimus dorsi and teres major transfer in obstetric brachial plexus palsy.

Objectives: We evaluated the results of latissimus dorsi and teres major tendon transfer to the rotator cuff together with musculotendinous lengthening of the subscapularis and/or pectoralis major muscles in patients with internal rotation contracture and decreased external rotation and abduction secondary to obstetrical brachial plexus palsy.

Methods: Thirty patients (18 boys, 12 girls; mean age 9 years; range 4 to 15 years) with internal rotation contracture and loss of external rotation and abduction of the shoulder secondary to obstetrical brachial plexus palsy underwent transfer of the latissimus dorsi/teres major tendons to the rotator cuff. In addition, musculotendinous lengthening of the subscapularis and pectoralis major (n=15), pectoralis major (n=9), and subscapularis (n=6) were performed.
