Radiologic Outcomes and Complication Analysis of the Posterior Vertebral Column Resection in the Treatment of Previously Operated Severe Kyphoscoliosis: A Retrospective Case Series.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiologic outcomes and complication analysis of posterior vertebral column resection (PVCR) performed on previously operated patients with severe kyphoscoliosis (SK).

Methods: Twelve patients (6 men and 6 women) with SK underwent PVCR. The mean age of the patients preoperatively was 16 years (range, 10-26 years).

DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OF RETAINED WOODEN FOREIGN BODIES IN THE EXTREMITIES USING ULTRASOUND.

Objective: This study investigates ultrasonography as an effective tool for localizing and measuring the depth and size of wooden foreign bodies to perform less invasive and easier surgery without the need for any additional radiological techniques.

Methods: Fifteen patients were operated to remove foreign bodies in the extremities in 2016. The side of the affected extremity, the material, size, and location of the foreign body and time of admission after injury were noted, along with CRP, WBC, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate; length of incision, surgery duration, and complications were evaluated.

[Osteochondritis dissecans occurring in the patella and medial femoral condyle in the same knee].

Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a condition in which a portion of articular cartilage separates from the bone together with the underlying subchondral bone. Its classical localization is the medial femoral condyle. We presented a 14-year-old boy who had OCD lesions in both the medial femoral condyle and patella in the same knee joint.
