Combining Salter-Harris and Dias-Tachdjian could be better at determining the prognosis of distal tibial physeal fractures.

Objectives: The aim of this study is determining the factors that affect prognosis of distal tibial physeal fractures (DTPF) and analyzing whether Salter-Harris (SH) or Dias-Tachdjian (DT) classification is more predictive for outcomes.

Methods: Patients treated for DTPF were retrospectively analyzed. Fracture patterns were classified according to SH and DT.

Mid-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of perilunate injuries treated with open reduction and internal fixation.

Objective: This study aimed to present the mid-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of patients with perilunate injuries treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF).

Methods: Patients who underwent ORIF due to perilunate injuries from 2004 to 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Surgery was mostly performed using a standard dorsal approach.

Surgical treatment of type III acromioclavicular dislocation: Bosworth technique versus hook plating.

Objective: In this study, it was compared the clinical results of the Bosworth technique and hook plating in acromioclavicular (AC) dislocations.

Methods: 44 patients are retrospectively evaluated in this study whom diagnosed as type III AC dislocations and treated by two different surgical methods in two different clinics. The patients were 30 males and 14 females with a mean age of 44 years (range, 18-80 years).

Lack of experience is a significant factor in the missed diagnosis of perilunate fracture dislocation or isolated dislocation.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the risk factors contributing to the misdiagnosis of perilunate injuries.

Methods: The study included patients who had perilunate dislocation or fracture dislocation correctly or incorrectly diagnosed on initial examination between 2008 and 2014. Data related to the length of time until correct diagnosis of the perilunate injury; cause of injury; presence of associated fractures, polytrauma or concomitant trauma in the ipsilateral upper extremity; time between injury and first presentation; first treatment applied; presence of ligamentous perilunar injuries only or fracture and dislocation; inadequate radiographic assessment; and experience of the physicians were recorded and analyzed.

Incidence of Venous Thromboembolism After Achilles Tendon Surgery in Patients Receiving Thromboprophlaxis.

Background: Surgical or nonsurgical treatment of an Achilles tendon rupture includes a period of immobilization that is a well-documented risk factor for deep venous thrombosis (DVT). The DVT is a source of morbidity in orthopedic surgery because it can progress to pulmonary embolism. The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of DVT and pulmonary embolism after surgical treatment of an Achilles tendon rupture.
