Clinical results of acetabular fracture treatment with hybrid fixation by anterior and posterior approach : A minimally invasive technique.

Background: Open reduction and internal fixation have been described as the gold standard for the treatment of acetabular fractures, but the high complications of these surgeries have led surgeons to seek less invasive procedures. In recent years, minimally invasive treatment, such as fixation through the skin have been proposed. The aim was to assess acetabular fracture outcomes of combination of posterior approach (Kocher-Langenbeck [KL]) with anterior percutaneous screw fixation (APSF) with minimally invasive surgery (MIS).

The Effect of Lower Limb Position on Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction on Uncommon Complications after Surgery.

Background: To reduce the complications of orthopedic surgery, the desire for less invasive procedures, such as, knee arthroscopy to repair the anterior cruciate ligament, has increased. There are, currently, two common positions for limbs that are used during surgery depending on the surgeon's experience. Therefore, our aim was to investigate the effect of limb position on complications after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery.

Effects of Teriparatide on Clinical and Radiologic Long-Term Outcomes after Fixation of Pertrochanteric Hip Fractures.

Background: Pertrochanteric hip fractures are common and among serious injuries of the old population with considerable mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study was to evaluate long-term effects of recombinant human parathyroid hormone on postoperative clinical and radiologic outcomes in elderly patients with pertrochanteric hip fractures.

Materials And Methods: Between 2016 and 2019, we prospectively assessed 80 patients with pertrochanteric hip fractures who underwent reduction and internal fixation with a dynamic hip screw.

Upper extremity physical performance tests in female overhead athletes: a test-retest reliability study.

Objective: Despite the studies that have investigated the reliability of Upper Extremity Functional Tests(UEFTs), the reliability of Closed Kinetic Chain Upper Extremity Stability(CKCUES), Seated Medicine Ball Throw(SMBT), push-up(PU) and Unilateral Seated Shot Put(USSP) tests in overhead athletes has yet to be assessed. The objective of this study was to determine both the relative and absolute test-retest reliability of the four UEFTs in female overhead athletes.

Methods: Twenty-nine female overhead athletes (age: 26.

Synergistic effect of LCI with ESWT on treating patients with mild to moderate CTS: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Applying radial extracorporeal shock wave therapy (R-ESWT) with LCI(local corticosteroid injection) in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) management is gaining momentum. The objective is to actualize the topic of this study.

Methods: In this prospective randomized controlled trial, forty patients with mild to moderate CTS are divided into two sham- R-ESWT and R-ESWT groups subject to LCI(local corticosteroid injection).

Comparison of the Effectiveness of Two Management Strategies in the Pandemic COVID-19 Period in Patient Visits (Face-to-Face Visits vs. a Smartphone) in follow-up the Range of Motion of the Knee in Patients with Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Background: As the prevalence of the coronavirus increases, there is now more emphasis on reducing "face-to-face" patient visits. Therefore, the use of smartphones and their special medical applications can play an important role in following up patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of smartphone in evaluating clinical outcomes and range of motion (ROM) of patients after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).

The Effect of COVID-19 Pandemic on the Characteristics of Pediatric Supracondylar Fracture: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: Environmental factors play a key role in the occurrence of pediatric supracondylar humerus (SH) fracture which has been widely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken to curb its spread. In this study, we aim to investigate the ultimate impact coronavirus pandemic has had on SH fractures in children.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study compares SH fractures which occurred during the pandemic with their prepandemic counterpart in a pediatric trauma public hospital.

Comparison of Periodic in-Person and Remote Visits via Smartphone Applications during COVID-19 Pandemic in Clinical Follow-up of Range of Motion in Patients with Distal Radius Fracture.

Background: Wrist function has a significant impact on quality of life, which is why restoring normal wrist movement after surgery is so important. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the restrictions imposed on "face-to-face" visits, using smartphones has become more important in tracking patients. The main purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of telemedicine in following up patients who had undergone distal radius fracture operation.

Evaluation of the effect of preoperative hemoglobin level and proinflammatory factors on intertrochanteric fracture union.

Background: Intertrochanteric fractures are associated with high mortality and morbidity, so these patients should undergo fracture fixation surgery immediately. Despite surgery, the possibility of fracture fusion may not occur due to the association with various causes. Therefore, our aim is to investigate these factors (TNF‑a, IL‑1, Hb) and their effect on fracture union after fixation.

Evaluation Avocado Soybean Unsaponifiables Loaded in Poly (lactic-co-glycolic) Acid/Avocado Soybean Unsaponifiables-Fibrin Nanoparticles Scaffold (New Delivery System) is an Effective Factor for Tissue Engineering.

Background: Growth factors and chemical stimulants have key role in cartilage tissue engineering, but these agents have unfavorable effects on cells. Avocado soybean unsaponifiables (ASU) has chondroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, fibrin2nanoparticles (FNP)/ASU, as a new delivery system, with stem cells applied for cartilage tissue engineering in poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) scaffold.

The Effects of Fibrin-icariin Nanoparticle Loaded in Poly (lactic-co-glycolic) Acid Scaffold as a Localized Delivery System on Chondrogenesis of Human Adipose-derived Stem Cells.

Background: Nowadays, cartilage tissue engineering is the best candidate for regeneration of cartilage defects. This study evaluates the effect of fibrin/icariin (ICA) nanoparticles (F/I NPs) on chondrogenesis of stem cells.

Materials And Methods: F/I NPs were characterized by Dynamic Light Scattering DLS.
