A new and simple method for patellar height measurement: Fibula-condyle-patella angle.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the inter-observer reliability of fibula-condyle-patella angle measurements and to compare it with other measurement techniques.

Patients And Methods: Between January 01, 2023 and January 31, 2023, a total of 108 patients (20 males, 88 females; mean age: 47.5±12.

Impact of static foot disorders on the conservative treatment success in chronic venous disease patients without wounds.

Objective: Chronic venous disease (CVD) and static foot disorders (SFDs) are prevalent conditions that commonly cause lower extremity pain. These conditions share common factors such as age and weight in their etiology. This study aimed to investigate the impact of SFDs on the treatment response of patients undergoing conservative treatment for CVD without wounds.

Corrective Maneuvers Used in Different Scoliosis Deformities With the Experience of 72 Operated Patients.

Purpose: This study aimed to show the correction maneuvers used in scoliosis surgery and give hints and tips on achieving optimal correction with the help of visual content.

Materials And Methods: Seventy-two scoliosis patients with 96 major curves operated between 2011 and 2018 evaluated retrospectively. Seven different correction maneuvers (Ucar convex rod rotation technique, cantilever technique, convex double-rod rotation technique, convex double-rod translation technique, double-rod rotation with coronal bending, convex rod rotation with coronal bending, direct vertebral rotation) were used in these surgeries alone or together.

Effects of proximal fibular partial excision on medial compartment knee osteoarthritis.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the clinical and radiological progression of the patients who underwent proximal fibular partial excision (PFPE) for medial compartment knee osteoarthritis.

Methods: Patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis who did not benefit from conservative treatment and accepted the PFPE surgery were involved in this study. Patients with traumatic arthritis, inflammatory arthritis, previous lower extremity fractures, valgus malalignment of the knee, and infection at the planned surgical site, however, were kept apart.

A new modified pararectus approach and visualization: an anatomical study.

Introduction: The aim of our study was to visualize all the windows used in the pararectus approach with detailed cadaver images to facilitate better understanding of orthopedic surgeons and, in addition, was to modify the incision used in the pararectus approach to a more cosmetic bikini incision.

Materials And Methods: In total, 20 cadavers fixed in 10% formalin were used in this study. Of these cadavers, 14 were male and six were female, with a mean age at death of 57 (42-82 years).
