The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical and subjective outcomes of the meniscal dart technique in patients having undergone arthroscopic meniscal repair by comparing it with the outside-in suturing technique. From January 2006 until June 2017, case records of 37 patients having undergone arthroscopic meniscal repair were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided into two groups based on the technique used for meniscal repair, as follows: 18 patients in suture technique group and 19 patients in meniscal dart group.

Methods: Thirty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were used. In the torsion-detorsion (T/D) group, the left testis was twisted at 720° for 3 h.
Objective: To investigate the effect of nifedipine on testicular torsion-detorsion injury.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, each containing 8 rats. Rats in the control group underwent a sham operation of the left testis.
Objective: Open testicular biopsy (OTB) is one of the options to accurately assess fertility potential of the undescended testis. The aim of the study was to investigate consequences of OTB in prepubertal rats on their adulthood fertility.
Methods: Thirty-eight prepubertal male rats were divided into three groups depending on day 20 procedure.
Objective: The differential diagnosis of an acute scrotum is of great importance in clinical practice and may be difficult in some cases. The aim of this study was to differentiate inflammatory from non-inflammatory causes of acute scrotum using relatively simple laboratory tests which can be performed quickly and easily outside a hospital setting.
Patients And Methods: From 2007 to 2010, 85 boys with acute scrotum were included in this prospective study.
