Treatment of Acetabulum Anterior Wall Fractures Using the Modified Stoppa Approach.

Introduction The objective of this study was to describe the modified Stoppa approach for anterior wall fracture fixation and to present our radiological and functional results of this approach. Materials and methods Between April 2013 and December 2019, 256 acetabular fractures operated with the modified Stoppa approach in our clinic were retrospectively reviewed, and 11 patients who were operated for anterior acetabular wall fractures with at least two years of follow-up were included in the study. Results The median amount of bleeding during surgery was found to be 450 ml (200-800), and the median operation time was 120 minutes (90-180).

[In total knee arthroplasty surgeries, what is the effective dose of intra-articular tranexamic acid?].

Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of different doses of intra-articular (IA) tranexamic acid (TXA) on blood loss in total knee arthroplasty surgeries and compare it to the control group.

Materials And Methods: A total of 160 patients who underwent unilateral total knee arthroplasty surgery at Edirne State Hospital between 2016 and 2020 were divided into four groups. The estimated blood loss and amount of blood loss from drainage, as well as transfusion rates, were compared between the groups based on surgical pre- and post-operative blood parameters to evaluate the dose effectiveness.

Fixation of bilateral acetabular fractures using the modified Stoppa approach: Two-year clinical outcomes.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the two-year clinical results of bilateral acetabular fractures operated via a single incision with the modified Stoppa approach.

Patients And Methods: Between January 2013 and January 2020, a total of 22 acetabular fractures of 11 patients (7 males, 4 females; mean age: was 42.9±13.

A device that facilitates screwing at an appropriate angle in quadrilateral surface fractures: 105-degree drill attachment.

Background: Within this study, we aimed to investigate the radiological and functional outcomes of acetabular fractures involving quadrilateral surface using 105° drill attachment in the anterior intrapelvic approach.

Methods: The 35 patients who underwent surgical treatment from January 2016 and January 2020 for acetabular fractures involving quadrilateral surface with anterior intrapelvic approach using 105° drill attachment and a minimum of 12 months of postoperative follow-up were included. Perioperative complications, operation duration, and the quality of reduction were evaluated.

Subacromial impingement as a predictor of proximal biceps tendon disorders.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the relationship between proximal biceps tendon disorders and the degree of subacromial impingement in patients who underwent arthroscopic subacromial debridement.

Patients And Methods: Between January 2015 and June 2021, a total of 110 patients (44 males, 66 females; mean age: 52.5±11.

An Evaluation of the Fear of Falling, Balance Levels, and Prognostic Blood Parameters Among the Geriatric Population With Hip Fractures.

Background In this study, we determined that among patients who had been operated upon for hip fractures at our hospital, prognostic factors for mortality and functional recovery in the preoperative period were indicated via laboratory parameters using the International Falls Efficacy Scale (FES-I) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS) scores. Methodology Between January 2020 and January 2021, the results of 64 patients who had been surgically treated for a hip fracture and 57 patients who had scheduled elective surgery were compared retrospectively. The groups' demographic data and blood parameters were compared.

Comparison of Cases with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Accompanied by Simultaneous Medial Meniscus Bucket Handle Tear Repair and Isolated Medial Meniscus Bucket Handle Tear Repair.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the success of the all-inside repair technique for medial bucket-handle meniscus tear (BHMT) and the factors affecting healing. A total of 36 patients with BHMT who were operated between 2012 and 2018 and completed final follow-up examinations were included in the study. Functional evaluation was made with the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Lysholm score, and Tegner score.

Joint line reestablishment in revision total knee arthroplasty.

Background: In this study, the traditional "Anatomical Landmark-Distance Method (AL-DM)" in the formation of joint line (JL) was compared with "Adductor Tubercle-Ratios method" (AT-RM), and the effect of reestablishment of JL on clinical and functional outcomes were evaluated.

Materials And Methods: 16 revision total knee arthroplasties (rTKAs) were performed by using "AT-RM" (group 1) and 16 rTKA by using "AL-DM" (group 2) in our clinic between 2015 and 2018. The data were prospectively collected and a total of 32 knees of 31 patients were analyzed.

Locking compression plate fixation versus intramedullary nailing of humeral shaft fractures: which one is better? A single-centre prospective randomized study.

Purpose: To compare the radiological and clinical outcomes of interlocking nail (ILN) and locking plate fixation (LCP) for humeral shaft fractures.

Methods: A total of 63 patients with displaced humeral shaft fractures between October 2014 and January 2017 were evaluated prospectively. They were divided randomly into two as LCP fixation (group 1) and interlocking nail (ILN) (group 2).

Tranexamic acid in total knee replacement which protocol? which application form? A prospective randomised study.

The aim of this study was to prospectively compare different delivery forms, doses and combined application forms of TXA for the reduction of blood loss and prevention of the allogeneic blood transfusion in patients with TKA and evaluate the results. The study included patients with knee joint osteoarthritis who were unresponsive to conservative management and 168 patients met the inclusion criteria. They were divided into 5 groups randomly as, Control (1), Local (2), Systemic+short infusion (3), Systemic+long infusion (4) and Systemic+oral TXA (5).

The Effect of Pentoxifylline and Hyperbaric Oxygen on Achilles Osteotendinous Junction İnjury: An experimental animal model study.

Background: To investigate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and pentoxifylline (PTX) treatment on osteotendinous junction healing of Achilles tendon in an animal model.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-six adult female Wistar-albino rats were randomly divided into three groups as control, PTX and HBO groups with a total of 12 rats per group. Under general anesthesia, the Achilles tendons were cut at the level of the osteotendinous junction and repaired.
