Is three-point index reliable in the follow-up of the distal radius metaphys fractures in the pediatric age group?

Three-point index (TPI), which can be used in the follow-up of conservative treatment, is an important indicator and reveals objective results about the fracture redisplacement. The hypothesis of the current study was that an initial TPI value of 0.6-0.

Monitoring the Prognosis of Diabetic Foot Ulcers: Predictive Value of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Red Blood Cell Distribution Width.

The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic values of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and red blood cell distribution width in diabetic foot ulcers treatment. A total of 250 adult patients who were treated in our clinic between 2007 and 2018 for diabetic foot ulcers were evaluated retrospectively. Diabetic foot ulcers were divided into 4 groups: major amputation, minor amputation, chronic wound, and complete healing.
