Does rotational deformity cause poor outcomes after pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures?

Background: We aimed to show the effect of rotational deformity on the development of cubitus varus deformity (CVD) com-plication after supracondylar humerus fracture surgery.

Methods: Patients with Gartland type II, and more severe fractures treated with Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning alone were included in the study. Rotational deformity was assessed with the formula described by Henderson et al.

Arthroscopic Treatment of Femoral Condyle Chondral Lesions: Microfracture Versus Liquid Bioscaffold.

Purpose: This study aims to compare the microfracture (MF) technique with the bioscaffold solution application (BST-CarGel) in treating femoral chondral lesions.

Methods: Thirty-eight patients ages 18-45 with isolated single femoral condyle full-thickness (ICRS grade 3-4) chondral lesions were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups as MF applied (Group I = 21) and bioscaffold combined with MF (Group II = 17).

The prevalence of fabella and its relationship with the lateral posterior condylar offset and lateral posterior tibial slope values.

Objectives: This study aims to analyze whether the lateral posterior condylar offset (LPCO) and lateral posterior tibial slope (LPTS) values are associated with the presence of fabella by evaluating the frequency of fabella, its location, and whether it is bilateral and the relationship of the fabella with age, sex, and the presence of osteoarthritis.

Patients And Methods: Between January 2016 and December 2020, computed tomography (CT) scans including 1,952 knee regions of 1,220 patients (861 males, 359 females; mean age: 54.5±19.

Comparison of Open Versus Arthroscopic Repair for Subscapularis Tendon Tears With or Without Concomitant Supraspinatus Tendon Tears.

Background: The literature comparing open and arthroscopic repair of subscapularis tendon (ST) tears is insufficient.

Purpose: To compare the clinical results of open versus arthroscopic repair of ST tears with or without concomitant supraspinatus tears.

Study Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Comparison of biomechanical analysis of four different tibial tunnel fixations in a bovine model.

Background: To determine the ideal fixation technique for an ACL reconstruction with a hamstring graft, multiple studies have been undertaken to define the initial biomechanical properties of tibial fixation.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical properties of tibial fixation methods by creating single or hybrid systems.

Methods: Bovine tibias and forefoot digital extensor tendons were prepared with four different tibial anterior cruciate ligament fixation methods and compared biomechanically.

Comparison of Treatment Options of Three- and Four-Part Humerus Proximal Fractures in Patients Over 50 Years of Age.

Introduction Our aim was to evaluate different treatment methods including conservative treatment (CT), locking-plate osteosynthesis (OS) and hemiarthroplasty (HA) in three- and four-part humeral fractures in patients older than 50 years. Methods Forty-seven patients that have at least one year of follow-up were divided into three groups: 18 patients treated with OS, 14 patients treated conservatively and 15 patients treated with HA. For further evaluation, constant shoulder score, disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand score (DASH), American Shoulder and Elbow Society (ASES) score had been used.

Surgical Treatment With Titanium Elastic Nail (TEN) for Failed Conservative Treatment of Acute Monteggia Lesions in Children.

Background: This study evaluated the results of intramedullary osteosynthesis with titanium elastic nail (TEN) in the surgical treatment of Monteggia lesions in children aged 12 and under.

Methods: Patients who underwent surgery with the TEN method between 2013 and 2019 were screened retrospectively. The inclusion criteria were patients who failed conservative treatment, a history of acute trauma (<14 d after injury), age 12 years and under, patients who underwent intramedullary osteosynthesis with TEN when surgical treatment is required, a follow-up period of over 12 months, absence of congenital upper extremity and bone anomalies, and no history of trauma to the ipsilateral elbow.

The Safety and Efficacy of Using Drainage in Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of not using a drain or placing a drain in the glenohumeral (GH) or subacromial (SA) joint spaces on fluid retention and pain in the early postoperative period and late clinical outcomes.

Methods: Patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair between 2018 and 2020 were included in the study. Before the operation, demographic data, range of motion (ROM), visual analog scale (VAS) scores, Constant-Murley scores has documented.

"Snapping" of the extensor carpi ulnaris tendon in asymptomatic population.

Background: Extensor carpi ulnaris tendinopathy (ECU) can be one cause of ulnar side wrist pain and it is more prominent in pronation-supination movements against resistance. In supination, flexion, and ulnar deviation within the ulnar groove, the tendon is tense and becomes predisposed to subluxation or dislocation. Snapping occurs during this dislocation and relocation.

Early Results of Kinesio Taping and Steroid Injections in Elbow Lateral Epicondylitis: A Randomized, Controlled Study.

This study prospectively compares early results of Kinesio tape (KT) as an alternative method for the treatment of lateral epicondylitis with those of corticosteroid injection and the rest-and-medication group (RMG). Among the fifty patients (53 elbows), KT was applied to 20 patients (21 elbows), and corticosteroid injection (CSI) was applied to 15 patients (17 elbows). Fifteen patients were included in the RMG.

No Benefits of Combining Proximal Row Carpectomy With PIN Neurectomy for Wrist Disorders-A Comparative Study With Systematic Review of the Literature.

Background: Posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) resection in combination with proximal row carpectomy (PRC), is a preferred method in order to obtain rapid recovery. However, the contribution of such combination to results isn't known well.

Objectives: We performed a comparative study to evaluate the effects of PIN neurectomy for PRC and a systematic review of the literature was performed to identify whether such combination has an advantage.
