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.
Objective: The aim of this study is to compare total hip prosthesis (THP), partial hip prosthesis (PHP), and proximal femoral nail (PFN) patients in terms of the chosen anesthetic method.
Methods: A total of 850 patients who underwent hip surgery were divided into 3 groups according to the operation type: PHP (n=281), PFN (n=393), and THP (n=176). The type of anesthesia administered, interventions during anesthesia, and complications were retrospectively evaluated.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation, who had been treated with repair of the Bankart lesion without capsuler plication.
Material And Method: The study included 22 shoulders of 22 patients (16 males and 6 females) with a mean age of 28 years, who underwent Bankart repair between 2011 and 2014. Patients with bilateral shoulder instability, multiple instability, >25% glenoid bone loss, and those with a history of shoulder surgery were not included in the study.
Purpose: We investigated the functional and radiological outcomes of conservatively treated simple traumatic elbow dislocations and subsequent incidence of cubitus valgus development in children.
Methods: Eleven patients (one female, ten male; mean age 9.8 years, range seven to 12 years) who presented to our hospital with simple elbow dislocations and were conservatively treated between July 2008 and September 2010 were included in the study.
