Comparison of diagnostic performances of ATA guidelines, ACR-TIRADS and EU-TIRADS and Modified K-TIRADS: A single center study of 4238 thyroid nodules.

Objectives: Several ultrasound (US) -based risk stratification systems (RSS) for managing thyroid nodules have been developed and introduced into clinical practice. However, there are essential differences among these systems. This study aimed to determine and compare the category-based diagnostic performance of four US-based risk stratification systems in the detection of thyroid cancer: ACR-TIRADS, ATA, K-TIRADS, and EU-TIRADS.

The efficacy of the Bogota Bag technique for wound closure in limb fasciotomy patients: a prospective cohort study.

Purpose: Fasciotomy is a surgical procedure that involves the incision of fascial compartments in the body to relieve pressure, prevent tissue damage, and maintain blood flow. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of the Bogota Bag technique in closing fasciotomy wounds in patients with lower limb compartment syndrome.

Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted between October 2022 and October 2023 to document our experience in employing the Bogota Bag technique for fasciotomy closure.

Evaluation of Distal Tibiofibular Synostosis Formation and Risk Factors After Surgically Treated Ankle Fractures: A Single Centre Study.

This study aimed to evaluate the occurrence of partial bridging and synostosis in the distal tibiofibular joint after surgically treated ankle fractures and determine possible risk factors. In this retrospective study, patients admitted to our hospital with ankle trauma between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2020, who were operated on for an ankle fracture and had a follow-up period of at least 1 year, were included. Patients underwent anteroposterior, lateral, and mortise radiographs of the ankle and low-dose computed tomography postoperatively.

Combining Innovative Techniques: Total Extraperitoneal Approach in Orthopedic Surgery (O-TEP) and Percutaneous Both Column Screw (BCS) Fixation Technique in a Geriatric Acetabular Fracture Case.

The concepts of both column fixation corridor (BCFC) and both column screws (BCS) along with the orthopedic total extraperitoneal approach (O-TEP) are highly innovative approaches in orthopedic surgery. However, the orthopedic literature lacks sufficient studies on these topics, indicating a significant gap. This case report aims to highlight how combining these innovative techniques can facilitate the use of BCFC and BCS in the treatment of acetabular fractures with O-TEP, thereby enhancing the feasibility of endoscopic techniques.
