However, there is little data related to the validity and reliability of the tools for the assessment of MHL constructs. The present study aimed to adapt the short version of Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire for young adults in Serbian sample and examine its psychometric properties.

Don't Think That Kids Aren't Noticing: Indirect Pathways to Children's Fear of COVID-19.

The present study is couched within Rachman's three-pathway theory of fear acquisition (Rachman, 1977, 1991). Besides the direct contact with the objects of fear, this model also includes two indirect pathways to fear acquisition: negative information transmission and modeling. The study aims to explore the contribution of these three factors to the level of children's fear of COVID-19.

Navigation-assisted suture anchor insertion for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Background: Suture anchor placement for subscapularis repair is challenging. Determining the exact location and optimum angle relative to the subscapularis tendon direction is difficult because of the mismatch between a distorted arthroscopic view and the actual anatomy of the footprint. This study aimed to compare the reliability and reproducibility of the navigation-assisted anchoring technique with conventional arthroscopic anchor fixation.

Osteolysis is observed around both bioabsorbable and nonabsorbable anchors on serial magnetic resonance images of patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Unusual case of mixed form of femoroacetabular impingement combined with nonspecific synovitis of the hip joint in a young adult-- A case report.

Introduction: Minimal bone changes in the acetabulum and/or proximal femur, through mechanism known as femoroacetabular impingement, during flexion, adduction and internal rotation lead to early contact between femoral head-neck junction and acetabular brim, in anterosuperior region. Each additional pathological substrate which further decreases specified clearance provokes earlier onset of femoroacetabular impingement symptoms.

Case Report: We presented a 20-year-old male patient with groin pain, limping, positive impingement test, radiological signs of mixed form of femoroacetabular impingement and unrecognized chronic hypertrophic synovitis with earlier development of clinical hip symptoms than it has been expected.

Surgical dislocation of the hip in patients with femoroacetabular impingement: Surgical techniques and our experience.

Background/aim: Arthrosis of the hip is the most common cause of a hip joint disorders. The aim of this study was to present our experience in the application of a safe surgical dislocation of the hip in patients with minor morphological changes in the hip joint, which, through the mechanism of femoroacetabular impingement, cause damage to the acetabular labrum and adjacent cartilage as an early sign of the hip arthrosis.

Methods: We have operated 51 patients with different morphological bone changes in the hip area and resultant soft tissue damage of the acetabular labrum and its adjacent cartilage.

Surgical treatment of dislocated fracture of the scapula column and glenoid: a 22-year follow-up.

Introduction: Most scapular fractures are caused by high-impact blunt injuries, often as the result of motor vehicle accidents, fall from height, etc. In 80% to 90% of cases, scapula fractures are associated with multiple injuries (clavicle fracture, rib fractures, humeral fracture, pulmonary injury, brachial plexus injury).

Case Report: We presented scapular fracture in a 27-years-old male who had sustained a work-related injury when a ground soil brick machine pressed him.

Objective: Our experience and early results of surgical treatment of patients with signs of femoroacetabular impingement and early hip osteoarthritis are reported.

Methods: The results of treatment of 21 patients aged 23-54 years with different types of femoroacetabular impingement are presented.

Contribution to the method for determining femoral neck axis.

Introduction: Femoral neck axis plotting is of great significance in measuring parameters that define femoral head-neck junction sphericity in the group of patients with the femoroacetabular impingement. Literature methods of femoral neck axis determination have weaknesses associated with the risk of obtaining inaccurate values of certain parameters.

Objective: Method of plotting of the femoral neck axis by two parallel lines that belong to the medial quarter of the femoral neck is proposed.

The effect of short-term low-energy ultraviolet B irradiation on bone mineral density and bone turnover markers in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis: a randomized single-blinded controlled clinical trial.

Introduction: The importance of vitamin D on bone health and osteoporosis was studied by many researchers. The main role of the Vitamin D is to absorb calcium and phosphate and increase bone mineralization. Older people are at an increased risk of the inadequate vitamin D production in the skin because of lower sun exposure and reduced ability of the skin to synthesize vitamin D.

Surgical treatment of the unstable type C pelvic injury.

Rotationally and vertically unstable injuries to the pelvic ring (Type C) require stabilisation of the anterior and posterior pelvic ring complex. Inadequate treatment of these injuries leads to chronic instability of the pelvic ring, which can finally cause permanent disability. Open reduction and stable internal fixation of the anterior and posterior complex of unstable pelvic ring injuries are standard procedures in the treatment of hemodynamically stable patients with (Type C) pelvic injuries.

Nature and results of treatment of war wounds caused by cluster bombs.

The aim of this study is to describe the nature of war wounds with fracture caused by cluster bombs and to suggest treatment options for such injuries. The nature of wounds caused by cluster bombs differs from those caused by conventional arms (they are more severe). The sides of the wounds are represented by conquasated soft tissues (such as fat and muscle) with thick dead tissues, ordinarily with a thickness of 0.

Distal tibial pilon fractures (AO/OTA type B, and C) treated with the external skeletal and minimal internal fixation method.

Background/aim: Distal tibial pilon fractures include extra-articular fractures of the tibial metaphysis and the more severe intra-articular tibial pilon fractures. There is no universal method for treating distal tibial pilon fractures. These fractures are treated by means of open reduction, internal fixation (ORIF) and external skeletal fixation.

Does timing of surgery affect the outcome of open articular distal humerus fractures.

Background: Open intraarticular distal humerus fractures classified as Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA) 13 C may have devastating consequences for patient's quality of life, especially if leading arm in younger active patient is involved. We conducted a study to determine whether the timing of open reduction and internal fixation of open intraarticular distal humerus fractures affects the outcomes.

Patients And Methods: Multicentric prospective study: In the first group, there were 15 patients, 10 men and 5 women, mean age 38.

Results of the femur fractures treated with the new selfdynamisable internal fixator (SIF).

Purpose: As axial dynamisation is a recognised method, many authors using interlocking femoral nail perform an additional small operation two months after the primary operation in order to remove one screw so as to provide axial dynamisation. According to the literature, dynamisation happens in about 15-25% of cases, but it cannot be predicted which patient or fracture will need dynamisation. The aim of this study is to present a new selfdynamisable implant and a minimally invasive method for the internal fixation of different femoral fractures.
