Comparison of non-compression and compression interlocking intramedullary nailing in rabbit femoral shaft osteotomy model.

Objectives: This study aims to compare non-compression and compression intramedullary nailing in an experimental femoral shaft osteotomy model in terms of radiological, histological, and biomechanical aspects.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-four white New Zealand rabbits (average weight 4.3 kg; range 4 to 4.

A study to develop clinical decision rules for the use of radiography in wrist trauma: Karadeniz wrist rules.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with wrist trauma using physical examination findings and functional tests and to identify findings with high sensitivity and specificity among the parameters assessed in patients with fracture in the wrist. The ultimate objective was thus to establish a reliable and widely usable clinical decision rule for determining the necessity of radiography in wrist trauma.

Methods: This prospective, multicenter study was performed in 8 hospitals.

Single-stage medial open reduction and Pemberton acetabuloplasty in developmental dysplasia of the hip.

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the long-term clinical and radiological results of single-stage open reduction through a medial approach and Pemberton acetabuloplasty in developmental dysplasia of the hip. We treated 32 hips (22 patients) with developmental dysplasia by a single-stage open reduction through Ferguson's medial approach and Pemberton acetabuloplasty. The procedure was performed bilaterally in 10 patients.

Determination of radiography requirement in wrist trauma.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate predetermined physical examination and function tests recommended to identify severe injury among patients presenting with wrist injury to the emergency department and to establish a reliable clinical decision rule capable of determining the need for radiography in wrist injuries.

Materials And Methods: This was a multicenter prospective derivation study of wrist injuries. All patients were assessed in terms of mechanism of trauma, inspection findings, heart rate, sensitivity at palpation, presence of pain with active movement, grasp strength, and functional tests using an examination form under main headings.

Metal-on-metal dysplasia cup total hip arthroplasty for hip osteoarthritis secondary to developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the clinical and radiological results of metal-on-metal dysplasia cup total hip arthroplasty (THA) for hip osteoarthritis secondary to developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).

Patients And Methods: Between May 2009 and October 2011, THA was performed on 27 hips (7 Crowe type II, 9 Crowe type III, 11 Crowe type IV) of 22 patients (2 males, 20 females; mean age 43 years; range 25 to 63 years) with hip osteoarthritis secondary to DDH. All patients were evaluated clinically and radiographically.

Giant cell tumor of the metacarpal bone in children: free osteoarticular metatarsal transfer: case report.

We present a successful total resection of metacarpal bone and nonvascularized joint transfer in a giant cell tumor of the fourth metacarpal bone in a 13-year-old girl. At the 6-year follow-up, a good functional outcome was achieved, with 85° range of motion of the metacarpophalangeal joint and no clinical or radiographic evidence of tumor recurrence and no signs of degeneration of the joint.

Bilateral femoral neck insufficiency fractures in pregnancy.

Bilateral femoral neck insufficiency fracture due to osteomalacia in pregnancy is an extremely rare condition. In this article, we report a 22-year-old female case with bilateral femoral neck fractures in whom the diagnosis was delayed due to the avoidance of ionising radiation and managing hip complaints by conservatively in pregnancy. She was treated surgically with internal fixation using cannulated screws and received medical treatment for vitamin D deficiency.

Radiological evaluation of combined valgus extension osteotomy and tectoplasty for the treatment of Herring group C Perthes patients.

Objectives: In this study we evaluated the results of combined proximal femoral valgus extension osteotomy and tectoplasty in the treatment of Herring group C Perthes disease with hinge abduction.

Patients And Methods: This study was carried out in 11 male patients who underwent combined proximal femoral valgus extension osteotomy and tectoplasty for hinge abduction related to Perthes disease between January 2002 and February 2009. All patients were assessed as group C according to the Herring lateral pillar classification.
