How successful is synthetic graft treatment for children with pathological hip fractures?

Purpose: To determine whether synthetic grafts are a satisfactory treatment option for pathological proximal femoral fractures in children.

Methods: Paediatric patients treated for pathological fractures of the proximal femur between 2013 and 2020 were evaluated retrospectively. 17 patients with a mean age of 10.

Predictive factors for the development of Gartland type IV supracondylar humerus fractures: a prospective clinical study.

Objective: This study aimed to identify the preoperative predictive factors for the development of Gartland type IV supracondylar humerus fracture based on the patient characteristic, fracture mechanism, and preoperative radiographic fracture characteristics.

Methods: This prospective study included the data of 120 patients with Gartland type III and IV supracondylar humerus fractures treated in a single center from 2020 to 2021. Patients' age, gender, height/weight percentile values, injury mechanisms, the proximity of fracture fragment to the skin (i.

Can American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score prevent unnecessary MRI in isolated ankle ligament injuries?

Introduction And Objective: Ankle injuries are the most common musculoskeletal injuries. Its incidence is also high among sports injuries. Direct X-ray, ultrasound and MRI can be requested after the history and physical examination in the patient who presents with ankle ligament injury.

Can formation of avascular necrosis really be prevented in Delbet type 2 femoral neck fractures?

Background: Fractures of proximal femur are rarely seen in childhood. These fractures can result in serious complications such as avascular necrosis (AVN), coxa vara, and early closure of the femoral epiphysis. The aim of this study is to investigate retrospectively the Delbet type 2 fractures that are commonly seen and has high rates of AVN.

Periprosthetic infection risks and predictive value of C-reactive protein / albumin ratio for total joint arthroplasty.

Background And Aim: There are no gold standard markers to estimate the risk of developing periprosthetic infections. Our aim is to compare the risks of periprosthetic infection in patients with THA and THA and to investigate the predictive significance of the CRP / albumin ratio.

Methods: This is a retrospective study containing data from 241 osteoarthritis patients and 19 patients with periprosthetic infections who underwent TKA and THA in our hospital from January 2014 to January 2019.

Mid-term outcomes of surgical treatment in fractures in patients with osteopetrosis.

Aims: Osteopetrosis (OP) is a rare hereditary disease that causes reduced bone resorption and increased bone density as a result of osteoclastic function defect. Our aim is to review the difficulties, mid-term follow-up results, and literature encountered during the treatment of OP.

Methods: This is a retrospective and observational study containing data from nine patients with a mean age of 14.

Anatomic footprint of the direct head of the rectus femoris origin: cadaveric study and clinical series of hips after arthroscopic anterior inferior iliac spine/subspine decompression.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to define the anatomy of the anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) and its relation to the footprint of the rectus femoris tendon and to evaluate on the clinical outcomes after AIIS/subspine decompression.

Methods: The rectus origin was dissected and detached in 11 male cadaveric hips with a mean age of 54.3 ± 14.
