Article Synopsis
- Lateral condyle fractures are common in children (ages 6-10) and can be treated using open or closed reduction methods, but guidelines on treatment choices are unclear.
- This study reviewed 111 patients who had surgery for Song type 4 and 5 fractures from 2011-2016, comparing outcomes between those treated with closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (CRPP) and open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF).
- Results showed no significant differences in patient demographics or fracture displacement, but radiological outcomes indicated a higher rate of lateral spur formation in the ORIF group (47.5%) compared to the CRPP group (23%).
Objective: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the mid-term implant survivorship, modes of failure, radiographic results, and clinical outcomes of current cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) treatment designs for steroid-induced avascular necrosis (AVN).
Methods: A time span of 5 years between January 2012 and November 2017 was scanned to accommodate 5 years of follow-up and a total of 15 patients (18 hips), who had undergone implantation of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and newly designed other head and liner components, were included in the study. Only patients operated for steroid-induced AVN were included in the study.
Objective: Neural tube defects are the most common congenital disorders after cardiac anomalies. Lumbar kyphosis deformity is observed in 8-15% of these patients. This deformity severely limits the daily lives of these patients.

Patients And Methods: Between September 2019 and September 2021, a total of 80 patients treated for tibial fractures were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two equal groups including 40 patients in each group.
Purpose: This study aimed to show the correction maneuvers used in scoliosis surgery and give hints and tips on achieving optimal correction with the help of visual content.
Materials And Methods: Seventy-two scoliosis patients with 96 major curves operated between 2011 and 2018 evaluated retrospectively. Seven different correction maneuvers (Ucar convex rod rotation technique, cantilever technique, convex double-rod rotation technique, convex double-rod translation technique, double-rod rotation with coronal bending, convex rod rotation with coronal bending, direct vertebral rotation) were used in these surgeries alone or together.
