Purpose: To evaluate the radiological and clinical outcomes in two patient groups: first, varus aligned medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) patients who underwent posteromedial open wedge high tibial osteotomy (PMOWHTO) and simultaneous root repair; second, patients with varus medial knee osteoarthritis without MMPRT who underwent PMOWHTO.
Methods: Patients had MMPRT repair concomitant with PMOWHTO and varus medial knee osteoarthritis without concomitant root tear patients who underwent PMOWHTO and were reviewed. Radiographic parameters, medial meniscus extrusion (MME) and Knee Society Scores [KSSs, including the following subscores: knee score (KS) and knee function score (KFS)] were evaluated.
Background: Osteosarcoma is the most common type of primary malignant bone tumor in the extremities. The main purpose of this study was to determine clinical features, prognostic factors, and treatment results of patients with osteosarcoma at our center.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of children with osteosarcoma between the years 1994-2020.

Bisphosphonates are inorganic pyrophosphate agents that reduce bone turnover. These agents reduce bone pain and delay skeletal complications, such as fractures in patients with metastatic lytic lesions, malignant-related hypercalcemia, multiple myeloma, Paget's disease of bone, and osteoporosis. Osteonecrosis, developing in the jaw bones specifically, has been described as a complication associated with the use of bisphosphonates.

Methods: The study included 27 patients (26 females, mean age, 53.52 years) who underwent high tibial osteotomy and in whom medial menisci were concurrently examined arthroscopically.
