Outcome after the surgical treatment of the Dubberley type B distal humeral capitellar and trochlear fractures with a buttress plate.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the functional outcomes of the surgical treatment performed with a buttress plate for the trochlear and distal capitellum fractures with posterior extension in the humerus.

Methods: The data belonging to 6 female and 4 male patients with a mean age of 43.8±11.

Functional outcome of reverse shoulder tumor prosthesis in the treatment of proximal humerus tumors.

Background: The treatment of proximal humerus tumors with reverse shoulder arthroplasty with allograft augmentation is still controversial. A tumor prosthesis represents a proven solution for such osseous defects. We investigated the functional results of patients who underwent reverse shoulder tumor prosthesis (RSTP) without the use of allograft after resection of a proximal humerus tumor.

Medium-term natural history of subacromial impingement syndrome.

Background: We evaluated the factors that affect the natural course of subacromial impingement syndrome in patients without rotator cuff tears.

Methods: In total, 63 patients were included. During the first evaluation, we recorded each patient's age, gender, profession, body mass index (BMI), hand dominance, alcohol and tobacco consumption, comorbidities, causative event of pain, presence of a functional limitation, duration of symptoms, shoulder scores (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons [ASES], Constant-Murley, and visual analog scale), history of subacromial steroid injections, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) classification.

Results of displaced supracondylar humerus fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation after a mean 22.4 years of follow-up.

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term functional and cosmetic results as well as the sagittal and coronal plane remodeling of displaced supracondylar humerus fractures treated with open reduction and internal fixation.

Methods: In total, 49 patients (11 boys and 38 girls) with Gartland type III supracondylar humerus fractures treated with open reduction and cross-pin fixation were retrospectively evaluated. The mean follow-up time was 22.

Bipolar or unipolar hemiarthroplasty after femoral neck fracture in the geriatric population.

Background: The choice of prosthesis in hemiarthroplasty is controversial for geriatric patients after femoral neck fracture. We hypothesised that selection criteria for unipolar or bipolar prostheses could be constructed based on factors affecting mortality.

Aims: THE AIMS OF THIS RETROSPECTIVE STUDY WERE: (1) to determine the factors affecting mortality of femoral neck fracture patients ≥65 years of age; (2) to compare patient mortality rates, radiological findings, and functional outcomes according to prosthesis type (unipolar or bipolar); and (3) to evaluate the persistence of inner bearing mobility of bipolar prostheses.
