Evaluation of posterior tibial slope relationship with common knee pathologies in pediatric and adolescent age groups in the Turkish population.

Anterior cruciate ligament rupture (ACLR), tibial eminence fracture (TEF), and Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) have been linked to a steep posterior tibial slope (PTS) in children and adolescents. This study aims to examine and compare these associations. 418 patients aged 8-18, 237 males and 181 females with knee pain between 2010 and 2019 were included and the patients belonged to the Turkish population.

Evaluation of the effect of vitamin D level on greater tuberosity primary bone marrow edema.

Introduction: The anabolic effects of vitamin D on bone tissue have been demonstrated in experimental studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between greater tuberosity primary bone marrow edema (GTPBMO) and vitamin D levels.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-nine patients (22 females and 17 males; mean age 49.

Comparison of the results of percutaneous and open screw fixation in the treatment of scaphoid nonunion fractures.

Objective: Our study aims to compare the clinical results of percutaneous screw fixation and non-vascularized bone grafting with open screw fixation in patients who did not achieve union due to failure in diagnosis and treatment after a scaphoid fracture.

Patients And Methods: Forty-three patients with scaphoid nonunion fractures corresponding to the first three Slade and Dodds classification were divided into two groups. Non-vascularized bone grafting with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) was applied to 24 patients in the first group, and 19 patients in the second group were treated with a closed reduction and internal fixation (CRIF) (percutaneous screw fixation).

Multidisciplinary treatment and functional outcome evaluation of combined injuries of nerves, vessels, and flexor tendons: spaghetti wrist.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the modified Kessler technique in managing spaghetti wrist lacerations by multidisciplinary treatment.

Patients And Methods: Patients who were operated and followed up with the diagnosis of spaghetti wrist tears in our clinic between January 2012 and December 2020 were included in the study. In the postoperative follow-ups, the parameters evaluating the functionality of the patients were examined.

Temporomandibular joint innervation: Anatomical study and clinical implications.

Background: Temporomandibular disorders and related pain are commonly seen in clinical practice. Due to its recurrent nature, they adversely affect a patient's social life. Current knowledge on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) innervation is debatable and insufficient to ensure optimal treatment for the underlying pathology.

A Novel Injection Technique to the Lateral Pterygoid Muscle for Temporomandibular Disorders: A Cadaveric Study.

Background: Lateral pterygoid muscle activity is associated with the pathological mechanisms of some temporomandibular disorders. The authors aimed to define and demonstrate a novel, practical, and safe technique for botulinum toxin type A injection to the lateral pterygoid muscle based on their findings. Their secondary aims were to standardize the injection pattern according to the variations of the lateral pterygoid muscle and its surrounding anatomical structures, and to establish its advantages over intraoral injection.

Defining a Preauricular Safe Zone: A Cadaveric Study of the Frontotemporal Branch of the Facial Nerve.

Background: In the preauricular region, the frontotemporal branch of the facial nerve is vulnerable to injury, which can result in facial palsy and poor cosmesis after surgical interventions.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to describe variations in the branching patterns of the frontotemporal branch of the facial nerve and the relation between this branch and the surrounding anatomic landmarks. Based on our findings, we propose a Danger Zone and Safe Zones for preauricular interventions to avoid frontal branch injury.

Soft spot: the important zone at the standard posterior portal of shoulder arthroscopy.

Background/aim: The localization of the standard posterior portal of shoulder arthroscopy and landmarks mentioned in the literature are unclear. The purpose of this prospective cadaveric study was to determine the localization of the standard posterior portal and its distance to the neural structures. Materials and methods: One fresh frozen and 10 formalin-fixed adult cadaveric shoulders were dissected.

Evaluation of corpus callosum morphometry in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of mesial temporal lobe epilepsy with hippocampal sclerosis (MTLE-HS) on corpus callosum (CC) morphometry in large and pathologically proven MTLE-HS patients.

Methods: We measured certain CC dimensions in 103 patients and 33 healthy controls using in vivo magnetic resonance imaging. In particular, we compared the two groups in relation to the clinical (localization of the HS, duration of epilepsy, frequency of seizures and length of seizures) and demographical (age, gender, handedness) features.
