Interobserver Reliability in the Radiological Evaluation of Flatfoot (Pes Planus) Deformity: A Cross-Sectional Study.

This study was planned for analyzing the interobserver reliability on the diagnosis of flatfoot. This study aims to evaluate the interobserver reliability of the digital radiography of flatfoot patients. Eight parameters were used in digital x-rays within the as statistically in 2 groups.

Therapeutic Effects of Boric Acid in a Septic Arthritis Model Induced by Escherichia coli in Rats.

The study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effect of boric acid (BA) in experimentally induced septic arthritis. A total of 30 rats, 6 rats in each group (5 groups), were used in the study. No treatment was applied to the rats in the control group.

Serum progranulin to TNF-α ratio in patients with gonarthrosis.

Objective: Progranulin (PGRN) is a growth factor that has antiinflammatory, immunosuppressive, and chondroprotective effects. It blocks Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) signal pathway by binding its receptor. Recently, it has been claimed that PGRN may be overexpressed in patients with Osteoarthritis (OA).

Triad of foot deformities and its conservative treatment: With a 3D customized insole.

The coexisting of three deformities as hallux valgus, flatfoot, and the calcaneal spur is an undefined medical condition, and it may be called triad of foot deformities (TFD) as a definition for a new disease entity. A customized 3D insole prototype was created by postprocessing of MRI data, and printed by 3D printer technology for the purpose of providing effective and innovative treatment for TFD. A 42 years-old female was clinically examined for TFD findings.

Effect of platelet-rich fibrin on epidural fibrosis and comparison to ADCON® Gel and hyaluronic acid.

Objective: In this experimental study, PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin), HA (Hyaluronic Acid) gel and ADCON® Gel were compared in terms of preventing epidural fibrosis.

Methods: Twenty-eight Sprague-Dawley rats (mean weight, 400-450 g) were divided into 4 groups. L3-L4 laminectomy was performed in each group.

Escobar syndrome mimicing congenital patellar syndrome.

Multiple pterygium syndrome (MPS) is a syndrome that is characterized abnormal face, short length and skin pterygiums on some body legions (servical, antecubital, popliteal, interdigital and on neck). It is also called as Pterygium Colli syndrome, Escobar syndrome or Pterygium syndrome. Escobar (multyple pterygium) syndrome is a rare syndrome.

A Biomechanical Comparison between Salter Innominate Osteotomy and Pemberton Pericapsular Osteotomy.

Objective: This study aims to compare the pelvic biomechanics of patients who underwent Salter innominate osteotomy (SIO) for one hip and Pemberton pericapsular osteotomy (PPO) for the other hip.

Materials And Methods: Fifty-seven of 126 patients who received a one-stage procedure involving SIO for one hip and PPO for the other hip were included in this series. Preoperative x-rays, archived reports and patient recall were obtained and retrospectively analyzed for these 57 patients.

A study on the complications of surgical treatment for bilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip and a comparison of two osteotomy techniques.

Objective: This study aims to present a review about complications of surgical treatment of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip and comparing the kinds and ratios of two osteotomy technique (Salter Innominate Osteotomy and Pemberton Pericapsular Osteotomy).

Materials And Methods: Fifty-seven patients of 126 that had bilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip are the case series that had undewent to Salter Innominate Osteotomy for one hip and Pemberton Pericapsular Osteotomy for other hip by one surgeon in one stage.

Results: Avascular Necrosis ratio was 19.

Bilateral femoral neck fracture-related hyperparathyroidism.

Bilateral femoral neck fracture is not common as unilateral femoral fracture. Femoral neck fracture generally occurs by the high energized traumas. Traffic accidents and fallings are the most common reason for this fracture kind.
