The management of comminuted quadrilateral fractures remains challenging, and treatment options are constantly evolving. The purpose of the present study was to examine the outcomes of 2 different fixation techniques in the management of comminuted quadrilateral fractures. Twenty-two patients with comminuted quadrilateral acetabular fractures were surgically treated with interfragmentary lag screw (group 1) and square bracket-shaped tubular (SBST) plate technique (group 2), in addition to suprapectineal and infrapectineal pelvic reconstruction plate fixation between January 2016 and July 2019 at our clinic.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the relationship between the critical shoulder angle (CSA) and the occurrence of SLAP lesions, which cause significant shoulder pain, along with glenoid depth measurements in patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy.
  • A total of 191 patients were analyzed, with 37 presenting SLAP lesions and 154 with intact superior labrum, revealing a significant difference in CSA between the two groups, indicating that lower CSA may be linked to the presence of SLAP lesions.
  • The results suggest that while low CSA is associated with SLAP lesions and glenohumeral osteoarthritis, glenoid depth does not show a significant correlation with SLAP lesions, prompting the need for further research on CSA's role in shoulder pathologies.

Introduction The objective of this study was to describe the modified Stoppa approach for anterior wall fracture fixation and to present our radiological and functional results of this approach. Materials and methods Between April 2013 and December 2019, 256 acetabular fractures operated with the modified Stoppa approach in our clinic were retrospectively reviewed, and 11 patients who were operated for anterior acetabular wall fractures with at least two years of follow-up were included in the study. Results The median amount of bleeding during surgery was found to be 450 ml (200-800), and the median operation time was 120 minutes (90-180).

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of the volume of subcutaneous, visceral, and total adipose tissue, and paravertebral muscles in patients with lumbar vertebrae degeneration (LVD) through computerized tomography (CT) images.

Materials And Methods: One forty-six patients with a complaint of lower back pain (LBP) between January 2019 and December 2021 were included in the study. CT scans of all patients were analyzed retrospectively for abdominal visceral, subcutaneous, and total fat volume, and also paraspinal muscle volume measurements and analysis of lumbar vertebrae degeneration (LVD) using designated software.

Although many studies suggest that varicocelectomy leads to improvement in semen parameters and morphology, its clinical efficacy remains controversial. The detailed morphological parameters described in the World Health Organization guidelines are important in terms of showing the effect of microsurgical subinguinal varicocelectomy on morphological changes.An observational, retrospective clinical cohort study was conducted with patients followed up from January 2018 to August 2021.

Background: Osteoporosis is associated with decreases in bone mineral density (BMD) and is diagnosed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Computed tomography (CT), performed in routine practice, can also be used to evaluate bone quality without additional cost.

Purpose: To determine whether Hounsfield units (HU), a standardized CT attenuation coefficient, measured from the femoral head correlated with DXA-measured BMD.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the normal dimensions and shape of the sella turcica (ST) in the Turkish population using multidetector computed tomography.

Methods: This single-center, retrospective study included 188 patients who met the study criteria and had paranasal multidetector computed tomography taken between January 2019 and December 2019. The patients included in the study comprised 77 females and 111 males.

Background: There is still no agreed radiographic rule for the evaluation of blunt thoracic trauma. Emergency physicians want radiography according to their experience and examination findings. Various studies have been carried out on this subject and some of these studies have reached findings that can support the initial steps of the rules of radiography.

Introduction: Metastasis to the gastrointestinal tract from lung cancer is very uncommon and is often asymptomatic. Although small bowel metastasis may commonly occur, metastases to the stomach and colon are uncommon.

Case Report: In this paper, we present a previously healthy 57-year-old male patient, a 60-packet per year smoker, who was taken to the emergency room with complaints of increasing abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, weight loss, and dyspnea for the last three months.

Here we have defined a novel technique for repairing posterior acetabular wall fractures called the "crescent technique," in which dual C-shaped reconstruction plates overlap at the distal ends and, if necessary, at the proximal ends. We also analyzed the efficacy and reliability of this method. This was a retrospective analysis of 27 patients undergoing the crescent technique.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological results of the surgical treatment of acetabular fractures using modified Stoppa approach.

Methods: A total of 57 patients (mean age 37.8 years; range 15-84) who underwent surgical treatment for acetabular fracture with modified Stoppa approach from February 2013 to June 2016 were included into the study.

To perform an Akin osteotomy using suture anchors to achieve stability of the osteotomy line and avoid the need for a further operation to remove an implant. Akin osteotomy using suture anchors was performed on 35 feet of 30 patients (21 female, 9 male ; mean age 45 years, range 18-60 yrs) diagnosed with hallux valgus. In bilateral cases, surgery was firstly carried out on the foot in the more serious condition, followed by the second foot 2 months later.
