Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the impact of patient positioning during surgery on the rotational alignment of femoral trochanteric fractures treated with intramedullary nails.
  • 84 patients were divided into two groups based on their intraoperative position: supine on a fracture table and lateral decubitus, with femoral malrotation angles measured through CT scans.
  • Results showed no significant relationship between patient position and malrotation, but the lateral position reduced fluoroscopy images and preparation times, making it a practical option for surgery.

Objective: In pediatric patients, femoral neck fracture is a relatively rare injury with a high complication rate despite proper diagnosis and treatment. Fixation of femoral neck fractures is usually performed with screws placed along the neck axis. In this study, we aim to compare two different implants and methods in terms of biomechanics.

Article Synopsis
  • Paediatric talus fractures are very rare because the elastic cartilage in children can withstand higher forces compared to adults.
  • The most common cause of these fractures is axial loading on the talus while the ankle is dorsiflexed.
  • This text discusses a case of a teenage boy who successfully treated and followed up on a neglected talus neck fracture without surgery.

Objective: Crush injuries and open fractures are often accompanied by extensive tissue loss, rendering clinical and surgical management quite challenging, particularly in the upper extremities. The primary goal in these cases is to obtain a functional and cosmetically acceptable limb. However, the management of complex crush injuries (involving extensive tissue loss and open fractures) is associated with a variety of complications, ranging from infection to amputation.

Background And Objectives: We aimed to determine the effects of vanillic acid (VA) on fracture healing radiologically, histologically, immunohistochemically, and biomechanically using a rat femur open fracture injury model.

Methods: 32 male Wistar-Albino rats were used and divided into two groups: the study group (VA) and the control group. From the time they were operated on until they were sacrificed, the rats in the study group were given 100 mg/kg/day VA by oral gavage.
