Article Synopsis
- This trial hypothesizes that cementless hemiarthroplasty will be better than cemented versions for elderly patients with femoral neck fractures, specifically looking at survival rates and complications.
- The study involved ASA class III patients aged 70 and older, divided into two groups: one receiving cementless surgery (Group A) and the other undergoing surgery with cement (Group B), with follow-ups averaging around 47 months.
- Results showed that cementless procedures had shorter operation times and lower intensive care unit stays, with fewer complications and better early outcomes, indicating cementless methods are at least as effective as cemented ones in treating these fractures.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and steroid injections in patients diagnosed with plantar fasciitis.
Methods: A total of 50 patients with chronic plantar fasciitis were included in the study and divided into 2 groups. In the PRP group (n=25), PRP taken from the patients' blood was activated using calcium chloride and injected in a single dose.
Objective: Titanium elastic nails and immediate spica casts are treatment options for femoral fractures in school-aged children (6-12 years). This study aimed to compare the results of elastic nail and immediate spica cast methods for treating femoral fractures in school-aged children.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective evaluation was made of patients who underwent immediate spica cast (20 patients) or titanium elastic nail (22 patients) for femoral fracture.
