: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the position of the humeral head relative to the glenoid and the occurrence of iatrogenic surgical neck fractures of the humerus during anterior glenohumeral dislocation reductions. : Patients with first-time anterior shoulder dislocations without generalized joint hyperlaxity were included. The humeral head displacement ratio was calculated as the distance between the medial border of the humeral head and the anterior glenoid rim divided by the diameter of the humeral head.

Background: Patients and healthcare professionals extensively rely on the internet for medical information. Low-quality videos can significantly impact the patient-doctor relationship, potentially affecting consultation efficiency and decision-making process. Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) is an artificial intelligence application with the potential to improve medical reports, provide medical information, and supplement orthopedic knowledge acquisition.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground And Objective: Artificial intelligence (AI) advancements continue to have a profound impact on modern society, driving significant innovation and development across various fields. We sought to appraise the reliability of the information offered by Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) regarding diseases commonly associated with sports surgery. We hypothesized that ChatGPT could offer high-quality information on sports-related diseases and be used in patient education.

The advent of the Internet has provided new, easily accessible resources for patients seeking additional health information. Many doctors and healthcare organizations post informative videos on this platform, and nearly all patients are looking for videos online for a second opinion. The phrases "frozen shoulder," "frozen shoulder treatment," "adhesive" capsulitis, and "adhesive capsulitis treatment" were entered into YouTube's search bar for a normal inquiry.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjectives: The aims of this study were to compare the patient and fracture characteristics, radiological, functional, and quality of life outcomes; the need for a lateral window approach and requirement of total hip arthroplasty; and complications in patients with simple and complex acetabular fractures who underwent a modified Stoppa approach through vertical and Pfannenstiel incisions.
Design: This was a retrospective comparison study.
Setting: Level 1 trauma center.
Background: The fact that lateral malleolar fracture is accompanied by posterior malleolar fracture may adversely affect syndesmosis malreduction rates. We aimed to compare syndesmosis malreduction rates determined on postoperative radiographs between isolated lateral malleolar fractures and lateral malleolar fractures accompanied by posterior malleolar fractures.
Methods: We retrospectively examined 128 operative patients: 73 with isolated lateral malleolar fractures (group L) and 55 with lateral + posterior malleolar fractures (group LP).
Computer-tailored health communication (CTC) can enhance fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake and, consequently, health by providing personalized feedback. However, few studies have examined the long-term effects of such interventions in middle-aged and older adults. This research aimed to assess the 12-mo efficacy of CTC in promoting F&V consumption and potentially identify who among middle-aged and older adults changed their diet after the intervention.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the fracture level in the development of the fracture gap and the effect of the fracture gap on pain, radiologic and functional outcomes, and complication rate.
Material And Method: A total of 45 patients who underwent reamed intramedullary nailing due to closed transverse or short oblique tibial shaft fractures were divided into the proximal fracture group and the distal fracture group.

Background: Sacral fractures are uncommon and understanding three-dimensional morphology is needed to obtain proper treatment. The purpose of this study was to identify the repeatable fracture patterns and comminution zones for traumatic sacral fractures and create fracture maps.
Methods: Computerized tomography images of 72 patients with traumatic sacral fracture were included in the study.
Background: Medical professionals and patients commonly use the YouTubeTM platform in their research on health information. The quality of videos about talus osteochondral defect (OCD) and arthroscopic surgery has not been evaluated previously. The aim of this study was to interpret the quality and sufficiency of YouTubeTM videos about talus OCD and arthroscopic surgery.

Objective: Videos uploaded to YouTube do not go through a review process, and therefore, videos related to patellofemoral instability may have little educational value. The purpose of this study was to assess the educational quality of YouTube videos regarding patellofemoral instability.
Methods: A standard search was performed on the YouTube database using the following terms: "unstable kneecap," "patellar instability," "patellofemoral instability," "kneecap dislocation," and "patellar dislocation," and the top 50 videos based on the "relevance" assignment of the YouTube algorithm were included for analysis.
Background: In Professional Athletes, quadriceps and patellar tendon ruptures are devastating injuries, often resulting in the loss of a season or a decreased return to the pre-injury level of sport. This study aimed to perform a comprehensive Video Analysis on extensor mechanism rupture (EMR) to describe the body postures and related mechanism in Professional Athletes.
Methods: Using publicly available data on quadriceps tendon and patellar tendon ruptures from between 2000 and 2020, 52 elite athletes were identified.

Background: Cannulated screws augmented with the medial buttress plate could confer greater biomechanical stability and higher union rates than the screw fixation alone for treating young patients with Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures (FNFs). No study has evaluated the effects of distal bicortical screw fixation and biomechanical properties of buttress plate augmentation under simultaneous vertical and rotational forces, physiologically acting on the hip joint. This study aimed to compare the biomechanical properties of four methods of three cannulated screw fixation under the combined axial and torsional loading in a synthetic femur model of type III FNF.
