Dilemma of Supra- or Infrapatellar Tibial Nailing: Anterior Knee Pain vs. Intra-Articular Damage.

Aim: Intramedullary nailing (IMN) is widely accepted as the treatment of choice for tibial fractures, and a suprapatellar method has been described to prevent common problems associated with the typical infrapatellar IMN technique, such as anterior knee pain. However, in the suprapatellar technique, injury to intra-articular structures is a concern. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and radiological results of suprapatellar and infrapatellar IMN in terms of union, complications, and function.

Delayed osteochondral fracture fixation of the knee in a pediatric patient.

The frequency of osteochondral fractures in the knee joint in the pediatric population is not clearly known. Although fragment fixation is generally considered to be the ideal treatment method in acute injuries, the data of the results of late fixation in neglected and/or late-diagnosed cases are very limited. In this paper, we report our findings regarding the fixation of a delayed large osteochondral fracture in lateral femoral condyle in a pediatric patient.

Quality Analysis of Hallux Valgus Videos on YouTube.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the information quality of YouTube videos on hallux valgus.

Methods: A YouTube search was performed using the phrase "hallux valgus" to determine the first 300 videos related to hallux valgus. A total of 54 videos met our inclusion criteria and were evaluated for information quality by using DISCERN, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), and hallux valgus information assessment (HAVIA) scores.

Tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance is a reliable measurement of increased rotational laxity in the knee with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Background: The aims of this study were: 1. To evaluate the use of the tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance as a measurement showing rotational instability after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. 2.

The Impact of Different Application Techniques on Fiberglass Casts: A Mechanical Experimental Study.

Background: Cast immobilization is a part of treatment in most of the orthopaedic injuries. The fiberglass material has several advantages over plaster of Paris which makes it more preferable. Some techniques are frequently used in daily fiberglass cast application to ease molding, shorten curing time and increase stiffness.

Computerised Tomography Analysis of Pelvic Inlet and Outlet Fluoroscopic View Angles.

Background: Pelvic inlet and outlet fluoroscopy views are routinely used in operative treatment of posterior pelvic ring injuries. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the angles of pelvic inlet and outlet fluoroscopic view, their differences with hip flexion and the correlation of these differences with sacral slope changes.

Materials And Methods: Sagittal reconstructions of 100 lumbopelvic CT were used to measure sacral slope, pelvic inlet and outlet view angles.

The effects of cryopreserved human amniotic membrane on fracture healing: Animal study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of human amniotic membrane (HAM) on fracture healing in an animal model.

Methods: Standard tibial diaphysial fractures were created in twenty-eight Wistar-Albino rats and treated with intramedullary Kirschner wire (K-wire) and HAM (HAM (+) group) or K-wire only (HAM (-) group). Fracture healing was evaluated by histological analysis, radiologic X-ray views and callus diameter measurements at 3rd and 6th weeks postoperatively.

Objective Measurement of Medial Joint Space Widening with Percutaneous "Pie Crust" Release of Medial Collateral Ligament during Knee Arthroscopy.

Knee arthroscopy may be called the most commonly and increasingly performed orthopaedic procedure. Posterior medial compartment visualization may be quite challenging. The aim of the present study is to detect objective measurement of medial joint space widening with percutaneous "pie crust" release of medial collateral ligament (MCL) during knee arthroscopy.

Recurrent carpal tunnel syndrome: Evaluation and treatment of the possible causes.

Aim: To investigate the causes of the recurrent carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and implemented surgical interventions.

Methods: Four hundred and eighty-seven patients, who were diagnosed with CTS and underwent surgical intervention between October 2016 and September 2007, were evaluated in this retrospective study. The age, gender, physical evaluation findings, electrophysiological examination reports and implemented surgical treatment methods were analyzed.

Missed Capitellar Fracture Caused by Avoidance of Radiological Evaluation in Pregnancy.

In this paper, we report a pregnant woman with a missed capitellar fracture of the elbow, who was treated successfully with open reduction and internal fixation using two headless screws. A 29-year-old 6-month pregnant woman presented to the emergency department due to a history of falling on her outstretched hand. A long-arm splint was applied without radiological evaluation due to pregnancy.

The investigation of the role of the facet joint angle in the development of L5-S1 spondylolysis in young men.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate facet tropism in younger patients with lumbar spondylolysis and to investigate the role of facet tropism in the development of spondylolysis.

Patients And Methods: Between February 2013 and December 2015, a total of 102 male patients with bilateral L5 pars defect including 53 with spondylolysis and 49 control subjects were included in this case-control study. The facet joint angles were measured bilaterally and axially at the level of L3-4, L4-5, L5-S1 using computed tomography (CT).

Bilateral low-energy sequential femoral shaft fractures in patients on long-term bisphosphonate therapy.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the demographic characteristics of patients with bilateral bisphosphonate-related low-energy femoral shaft fractures.

Methods: The clinical registry was reviewed for patients with bisphosphonate-related low-energy fractures localized at femoral shaft between January 2008 and January 2012. Patients with a diagnosis of postmenopausal osteoporosis, bisphosphonate usage of at least 5 years and prodromal pain prior to fracture were included the study.
