Purpose: This study aimed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of smartphone photographs, taken at the emergency department (ED) and shared with hand surgeons, in identifying critical circulatory issues and neurovascular bundle injury, as well as tendon and bone injuries.

Methods: The photographs of hand injuries of 50 patients who were referred to our ED between January 2020 and January 2022 were used to design a questionnaire. This questionnaire, including closed-ended questions about the injured structures, was shared with a group of hand surgeons via a WhatsApp group in Turkey.

Article Synopsis
  • Lateral epicondylitis, commonly known as tennis elbow, is a prevalent orthopedic issue that often requires symptomatic rather than curative treatments; this study focused on evaluating the effectiveness of percutaneous drilling as a minimally invasive treatment option.
  • The study involved 31 patients who underwent percutaneous drilling from 2018 to 2021, assessing various demographic factors and measuring pain levels and grip strength before and after the procedure using several scoring systems.
  • Results showed significant improvements in pain and function over 12 months, with many patients reporting excellent to good outcomes and an increase in grip strength, suggesting that percutaneous drilling is an effective treatment for chronic lateral epicondylitis with aesthetic benefits due to minimal scarring.

Recent studies on fibular osteotomy for varus gonarthrosis and possible subsequent biomechanical changes have attracted increasing attention to the topic. Existing studies have focused mainly on proximal fibular osteotomy with short follow-up periods. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in the alignment of the coronal plane of the ankle and knee joints in patients who underwent vascularized fibula graft harvest (VFGH).
