The relationship between the duration and the retraction and atrophy grades in traumatic isolated full-thickness supraspinatus tears in young patients.

Background: The study aimed to determine the grade of retraction and atrophy according to the time elapsed in traumatic isolated full-thickness supraspinatus (SS) tears in young patients.

Methods: One thousand twenty-six patients, who underwent arthroscopic shoulder surgery, were retrospectively reviewed. Pre-operative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of 69 patients aged 18 to 40 years with isolated traumatic full-thickness SS lesions remaining after exclusion criteria were evaluated for tendon retraction and atrophy grades.

The effect of cuff arthropathy stage on sleep disturbance and kinesiophobia in reverse shoulder arthroplasty patients.

Background: The current study aimed to determine the changes in pre-and post-operative Pittsburg sleep quality index (PSQI) and Tampa scale of kinesiophobia (TSK) values ​​according to the Hamada classification in patients who underwent reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) for rotator cuff tear arthropathy (RCTA).

Methods: One hundred and eight patients who underwent RSA for RCTA were reviewed retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups with low grade (stages 1-2-3) (n = 49) and high grade (stages 4a-4b-5) (n = 59) according to the Hamada classification, which is the radiographic evaluation of RCTA.

Evaluation of the Relationship between Osteoporosis Parameters in Plain Hip Radiography and DXA Results in 156 Patients at a Single Center in Turkey.

Background: The aim of the current study is to determine the relationship between osteoporosis findings in plain X-ray and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measurement results and to create an alternative diagnostic method for osteoporosis without DXA measurement when necessary.

Methods: DXA values and hip radiographs of 156 patients were retrospectively analyzed. Singh index (SI), Dorr index (DI), cortical thickness index (CTI), and canal-to-calcar ratio (CCR) measurements from both plain hip radiographs were determined by two observers.

Evaluation of Preoperative Magnetic Resonance Imaging Parameters with Arthroscopic Validation of Subscapularis Tendon Abnormalities in 187 Patients at a Single Center in Turkey.

BACKGROUND This study from a single center in Turkey aimed to evaluate preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters with arthroscopic validation of subscapularis (SS) tendon abnormalities in 187 patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Preoperative MRI scans of 187 patients who had undergone arthroscopic shoulder surgery by the senior author (all in lateral decubitus position) were evaluated by 3 researchers. Patients with arthroscopically proven SS tendon rupture (n=69) and without rupture (n=118) were divided into 2 groups and compared with various distances and angles.

The Influence of Resident Level of Training on Fluoroscopy Time in Pediatric Supracondylar Humeral Fractures Treated with Closed Reduction and Percutaneous Pinning.

Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of resident level of training on fluoroscopy duration in pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures treated with closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (CRPP). Methods After classifying the surgeons according to their seniorities, the duration of fluoroscopy time of 80 patients with extension type III supracondylar fractures during reduction and pinning was recorded. Results The time duration of reduction procedures was similar in all groups with respect to the surgical experience; however, time durations of percutaneous pinning procedures were found statistically different between groups (p=0.

Demographic Characteristics of Paediatric Pelvic Fractures: 10-Years' Experience of Single Paediatric Orthopaedics Clinic.

Objective: To evaluate the demographic characteristics of paediatric pelvic fractures.

Materials And Methods: Retrospective analysis of 26 patients who were hospitalized with the diagnosis of paediatric pelvic fracture between 2000 and 2010 was performed. Age, gender, hospitalization time, mechanism of injury, fracture type, associated injuries, haemoglobin level drop in the first 24 hours, management and blood transfusion requirement, injuries time (month) information were gathered from hospital records.
