Dorsal plating versus volar plating with limited dorsal open reduction in the management of AO type C3 distal radius fractures with impacted articular fragments: A retrospective comparative study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of dorsal plating versus volar plating with limited dorsal open reduction in the management of AO type C3 distal radius fractures with impacted articular fragments.

Methods: Thirty patients who underwent dorsal plating (Group A) (14 females, 16 males; mean age = 56.8 ± 10.

Clinical Outcomes of Arthroscopic Notchplasty and Partial Resection for Mucoid Degeneration of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament.

Background: Mucoid degeneration of the anterior cruciate ligament (MD-ACL) is a chronic degenerative process involving a hypertrophied ACL, which may lead to notch impingement syndrome. As a treatment method, there is consensus regarding arthroscopic resection for MD-ACL resulting in good clinical outcomes; however, additional notchplasty remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to investigate clinical outcomes after arthroscopic partial resection of the ACL and additional notchplasty performed to minimize volume reduction of the ACL.

A comparison of fasciocutaneous and adipofascial methods in the reverse sural artery flap for treatment of diabetic infected lateral malleolar bursitis.

Purpose: Infected lateral malleolar bursitis occurring as a diabetic complication requires debridement and flap surgery because it cannot be treated by conservative methods. The most accessible flap is the reverse sural artery flap, which can be harvested as a fasciocutaneous flap or an adipofascial flap. The purpose of this study was to compare the two types of flap methods performed in patients with diabetic infected lateral malleolar bursitis.

Radiologic Comparison of Humeral Position according to the Implant Designs Following Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty: Analysis between Medial Glenoid/Medial Humerus, Lateral Glenoid/Medial Humerus, and Medial Glenoid/Lateral Humerus Designs.

Background: The currently available reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) designs can be classified into medial glenoid/medial humerus (MGMH), lateral glenoid/medial humerus (LGMH), and medial glenoid/lateral humerus (MGLH) prosthesis designs. The purpose of this study was to radiologically analyze the effect of different RSA designs on humeral position following RSA.

Methods: A total of 50 patients who underwent primary RSA were retrospectively analyzed.

Midbody of the medial meniscus as a reference of preservation in partial meniscectomy for complete discoid lateral meniscus.

Purpose: To evaluate the postoperative size of discoid lateral meniscus using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after partial meniscectomy relative to the size of medial meniscus midbody.

Methods: This study included 48 patients who underwent arthroscopic partial meniscectomy with or without repair for symptomatic complete discoid meniscus. The intraoperative size of midbody of medial meniscus was used as a reference for partial meniscectomy.

Delayed infrarenal aortic pseudoaneurysm treated by endovascular stent graft in pyogenic spondylitis.

A 61-year-old male patient with pyogenic spondylodiscitis and epidural and psoas abscesses underwent posterior decompression, debridement, and instrumented fusion, followed by anterior debridement and reconstruction. Sudden onset flank pain was diagnosed 7 weeks postoperatively and was determined to be a pseudoaneurysm located at the aorta inferior to the renal artery and superior to the aortic bifurcation area. An endovascular stent graft was applied to successfully treat the pseudoaneurysm.
