UNWANTED RADIATION EXPOSURE TO RADIOSENSITIVE ORGANS DURING HAND CT.

This study aimed to investigate unwanted radiation exposure of radiosensitive organs during computed tomography (CT) scans of the hand. Furthermore, we investigated the effectiveness of a shield in reducing unwanted radiation exposure. In a prospective observational study, the patients were randomized to receive a shield during the hand CT scan.

Fractures of the distal femur in elderly patients: retrospective analysis of a case series treated with single or double plate.

Introduction: We evaluated the radiologic and clinical outcomes of a lateral incision single plate with and a single-incision double plating in elderly patients with osteoporotic distal femoral fractures.

Materials And Methods: We performed a retrospective study of 82 cases of distal femoral fractures from May 2004 to June 2018. Group A consisted of 42 patients who underwent single-plate fixation.

Arthroscopic Superior Capsular Reconstruction by the Mini-Open Modified Keyhole Technique Using an Achilles Tendon-Bone Allograft.

The treatment of massive and irreparable rotator cuff tears remains a challenge for shoulder surgeons. When treating patients with chronic rotator cuff tears, especially those with severe fatty degeneration, severe tendon retraction, or muscle atrophy, the risk of re-tear and persistent severe pain persists. Therefore, surgeons can choose from numerous options.

Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy vs the Extensile Medial Parapatellar Approach in Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty: Is Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy a Harmful Approach?

Background: As the frequency of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is increasing, long-term follow-up of patients has become essential, and the frequency of revision total knee arthroplasty (R-TKA) due to the occurrence of various complications has also increased. There is controversy regarding which approach has minimal complications and an adequate visual field in R-TKA. Therefore, we compared the clinical and radiological results between the extensile medial parapatellar (EMP) approach and tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) for R-TKA.

Comparison of Clinical and Structural Outcomes by Subscapularis Tendon Status in Massive Rotator Cuff Tear.

Background: The subscapularis tendon is essential in maintaining normal glenohumeral biomechanics. However, few studies have addressed the outcomes of tears extending to the subscapularis tendon in massive rotator cuff tears.

Purpose: To assess the clinical and structural outcomes of arthroscopic repair of massive rotator cuff tears involving the subscapularis.
