Comparison of Salter osteotomy and Tonnis lateral acetabuloplasty with simultaneous open reduction for the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip: midterm results.

The aim of this study was to compare the midterm clinical and radiological outcomes of the Salter osteotomy (SO) and Tonnis lateral acetabuloplasty (TLA) with concomitant open reduction for the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip. Twenty-five hips of 20 patients who underwent SO with open reduction and 26 hips of 23 patients who underwent TLA with open reduction were evaluated retrospectively. The average age of the patients at the time of the operation was 35.

Orthopedic disability and socioemotional functioning.

Background: The major aim of the study was to examine self-concept, emotional stability, and sociability of Turkish adolescents with orthopedic disability, and the links between these domains and sport participation.

Method: Participants of the study were 95 students in grades 5-12 (mean age, 15.44 +/- 2.

Comparison of splinting, splinting plus local steroid injection and open carpal tunnel release outcomes in idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome.

The objective of this study was to compare the short- and long-term efficacies of splinting (S), splinting plus local steroid injection (SLSI), and open carpal tunnel release (OCTR) in mild or moderate idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Patients with mild or moderate idiopathic CTS who experienced symptoms for over 6 months were included in the study. The patients were evaluated for the baseline and the third and sixth month scores after treatment.

[Van Nes rotationplasty in two patients with congenital femoral deficiency].

Congenital femoral deficiencies have a wide spectrum ranging from simple hypoplasia to complete femoral aplasia. They are often associated with congenital shortening of the tibia and fibular hemimelia. This anomaly has no known genetic transmission.

[Cementless total hip replacement in patients with high total dislocation: the results of femoral shortening by subtrochanteric segmental resection].

Objectives: We evaluated the results of femoral shortening by subtrochanteric segmental resection in patients who underwent total hip replacement (THR) for high total dislocation of the hip.

Methods: We performed THR in 19 hips of 16 patients (15 females, 1 male; mean age 41 years; range 22 to 55 years) with high total dislocation of the hip. All the patients had severe hip pain.

Hypercalcemia and Multiple Pathological Fractures in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia: A Case Report.

Hypercalcemia is common in some lymphoproliferative disorders such as myeloma or T- cell leukaemialymphoma, but is rarely described in B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). A CLL patient who have been presented with multiple pathological fractures and widespread osteolytic lesions is reported. He was a 74 year old male with fractures of his bilateral humerus and radii and multiple osteolytic lesions of skull, fibula, femur and costals.

Which one is at risk in intraoperative fluoroscopy? Assistant surgeon or orthopaedic surgeon?

Background: Orthopaedic surgeons use intraoperative portable fluoroscopy and roentgenography. The present study was an attempt to find out if there is a difference between the occupational radiation exposure to the orthopaedic surgeon and assistant surgeon in the operating room while using intraoperative fluoroscopy or radiographic control and to measure it.

Methods: During a 3-month period, 107 consecutive operations were monitored for radiation exposure.

[Simultaneous asymmetric bilateral traumatic hip dislocation: a case report].

Asymmetric bilateral (one side anteriorly, the other posteriorly dislocated) traumatic hip dislocations are very rare. We present a 21-year-old male patient who had simultaneous anterior and posterior traumatic hip dislocations due to a car crash. He also suffered from a tarsometatarsal (Lisfranc's) fracture-dislocation.
