Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on isolated medial malleolar fractures, which are less common than other types of ankle fractures, and evaluates outcomes of treatment using cross-screw fixation.
- Thirteen patients were treated and assessed for fracture healing after 3 months and functional recovery using the AOFAS score, showing positive results with an average score of 82 at 3 months and 92.2 at 24 months.
- Cross-screw fixation is recommended for its benefits, including minimal soft-tissue damage and effective stabilization, making it a suitable option for these types of fractures.
Objectives: To investigate the clinical results of lower trapezius (LT) tendon transfer and interpositional repair that were performed simultaneously in patients with massive irreparable rotator cuff tears.
Methods: Between 2018 and 2020 years, 16 patients with massive irreparable rotator cuff tears that were treated with LT tendon transfer and interpositional repair at the same time were included in this study. The mean follow-up period was 29±3 months (24-39 months) and the mean age of patients was 62±9 years (42-73 years).
