Biomarkers that Can Predict the Diagnosis of an Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury on MR Images, Preoperatively.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The competence of the anterior translation of tibia (ATT), posterior cruciate ligament angle (PCLA), and femorotibial rotation angle (FTRA) measured on MR images in predicting anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury was evaluated in this study. MATERIAL AND METHODS 266 patients who underwent diagnostic arthroscopy between 2015-2020 were included in this study. Age, gender, radiological fi ndings included ATT, PCLA, and FTRA were measured on preoperative MR images of all patients.

A novel reduction support frame for management of unstable tibial fractures with intramedullary nail: Preliminary report.

Background: Management of unstable tibial fractures (UTF) can be challenging due to widening of the proximal and distal metaphyseal zone, soft tissue problems, and poor vascularity. We aimed to compare the effect of novel tibial orthopedic reduction support (TORS) frame constructed by re-used tubular external fixator systems and manual traction with regard to the quality of re-duction, and fracture healing.

Methods: A total of 65 patients who were admitted with UTF and underwent intramedullary nailing were assessed; 43 patients un-derwent manual traction technique, and 22 patients underwent TORS technique.

The effect of the platelet-rich plasma on osteogenic potential of the periosteum in an animal bone defect model.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate whether plasma-rich plasma (PRP) enhances the osteogenic potential of periosteal grafts used to repair bone defects and maintains both histologically and biomechanically more durable bone tissue.

Materials And Methods: A standard bone defect was formed to the left femurs of 54 Sprague-Dawley rats and three groups were formed. In the first group (n=18), no periosteal repair was done for bone defect.

Analysis of factors among 30-day and 1-year mortality rates in patients with borderline stable-unstable intertrochanteric hip fracture.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the possible effects of surgical procedures on mortality and to identify the possible risk factors for mortality in the management of geriatric hip fractures.

Methods: A total of 191 patients (105 women and 86 men; mean age 82.26±9.

Comparison of functional outcomes in patients fixed with dynamic hip screw and proximal femur nail-anti-rotation in A1 and A2 type intertrochanteric femur fractures.

Background: We aimed to compare clinical and functional outcomes between patients treated with Dynamic hip screw (DHS) and Proximal Femoral Nail-Antirotation (PFN-A) implants.

Methods: This study included 122 patients (66 men [54.1%] and 56 women [45.
