Evaluation of the relationship between scapula morphology and anterior shoulder dislocation accompanying greater tuberosity fracture.

INTRODUCTıON: It is estimated that 5-30% of traumatic anterior shoulder dislocations are accompanied by greater tuberosity fracture (GTF), and the pathomechanism of these fractures is not yet clear. Our hypothesis is to examine the relationship between the scapula morphology and anterior shoulder dislocation (ASD) accompanying GTF. MATERıALS AND METHODS: The patients were divided into two groups according to the accompanying GTF.

A new anatomical brachial plexus variation during interscalene block.

We aimed to present our anesthetic management for an ultrasound-guided (USG) interscalene block in the presence of a new brachial plexus variation in a 59-year-old male patient underwent shoulder arthroscopy. An accessory muscle between the anterior scalene (ASM) and middle scalene muscle (MSM) was viewed via ultrasound. When four roots that the accessory muscle separated into two groups, which should be normally present between the ASM and MSM were displayed, we decided to use nerve stimulator to perform block.

Effects of Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation and adhesive systems on microtensile bond strength of a self-adhering composite.

This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of Er:YAG and Er,Cr:YSGG laser irradiation and adhesive systems on the microtensile bond strength of Fusio Liquid Dentin (FLD) which is a self-adhering composite (SAC). Twenty-four freshly extracted human molar teeth were collected, and the enamel was removed from the occlusal surface to obtain a flat dentin surface. Twenty-four teeth were randomly divided into eight groups: Group 1: only Fusio Liquid Dentin (FLD) (Petron Clinical, Orange, California, USA) was applied to the dentin surface; Group 2: 37% Phosphoricacid (i-GEL, Medicinos Linija UAB, Lithuania) + FLD; Group 3: Single Bond Universal (SBU) (3 M ESPE, Germany) + FLD; Group 4: Adper Easy One (AEO) (3 M ESPE, Germany) + FLD; Group 5: Er:YAG laser + AEO + FLD; Group 6: Er:YAG laser + SBU + FLD; Group 7: Er,Cr:YSGG laser + AEO + FLD; and Group 8: Er,Cr:YSGG laser + SBU + FLD.

Surgical outcomes of extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma.

Background: Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma. The aim of this study is to present the results of the patients we treated with the diagnosis of EMC as an oncology reference center.
