Comparative finite element analysis of four different internal fixation implants for Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures in various fracture angles in the sagittal plane.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the performance of four different fixation techniques for Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures considering the fracture morphology in the sagittal plane.

Materials And Methods: We constructed three different fracture morphologies in the sagittal plane in Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures: posteriorly angled at 20°, neutral, and anteriorly angled at 20°. We set up four fixation devices, including three cannulated screws (3CS), a dynamic hip screw with an antirotational screw (DHS+CS), a proximal femoral locking plate (PFLP), and three cannulated screws with a medial buttress plate (3CS+MBP).

Analysis of Clinical Outcomes in Pediatric Distal Tibia Triplanar Fractures Treated Surgically and Conservatively.

Purpose We aimed to analyze the clinical and functional outcomes of patients who underwent surgery or received conservative treatment to look into the impact of treatment methods on clinical outcomes. Methods A retrospective study was performed on 25 patients with a minimum one-year follow-up. Patients were divided into two groups based on joint and physis displacement measured on preop CT images.

Treatment of knee osteochondritis dissecans with autologous tendon transplantation: Clinical and radiological results.

Background: Defect treatment with tendon autograft in osteochondral lesions has been published in the literature with an experimental study in dogs. To demonstrate that it is possible to treat knee osteochondral lesions with the technique of autologous tendon transplantation.

Aim: To evaluate the clinical and radiological results of patients with knee osteochondral lesions who were treated with autologous tendon transplantation.

Tibial slope, remnant preservation, and graft size are the most important factors affecting graft healing after ACL reconstruction.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the anatomic, operative and biological factors that influenced graft healing after single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.

Methods: One hundred fourteen consecutive patients who underwent anatomic single-bundle ACL reconstruction with quadrupled hamstring tendon autografts between 2016 and 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Ninety-four patients met the inclusion criteria with minimum follow-up of 12 months.

Avascular Necrosis of Humeral Trochlea: A Case Report of the Rare Condition.

Introduction: Avascular necrosis of humeral trochlea is a very rare condition and was described by Hegemann in 1957. We reported two cases of avascular necrosis of humeral trochlea and also performed a literature review of the reported cases. We expect that this case report will assist clinicians in making a timely diagnosis when encountering similar clinical scenarios.

Surgical management of displaced adolescent Tillaux Fractures with the mini-open technique.

Background: There is no consensus on the optimal treatment of Tillaux-Chaput fractures. The results of our cases treated with mini-open surgery (open reduction and internal fixation) concerning efficacy and complications, we aim to compare other procedures (open, percutaneous, and arthroscopy-assisted) with the literature data and to look for an answer to the question of whether the primary treatment can be mini-open surgery.

Methods: Between the years 2014 and 2017, 22 of 30 patients with Tillaux-Chaput fractures were treated using mini-open surgery, open reduction and internal fixation with one cannulated screw.

Effectiveness and reliability of traditional open surgery in atypical localizations of osteoid osteoma.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate traditional open surgery results of osteoid osteomas (OOs) in atypical localizations and explore whether open surgery can be a safe alternative in localizations where radiofrequency ablation (RFA) may not be suitable.

Patients And Methods: A total of 26 patients (20 males, 6 females; mean age 23.3±14.

Editorial Commentary: What is the Difference That Makes the Differences? The Practical Rationality of the All-Suture Anchor.

Suture anchor technologies are constantly being innovated in the quest for improved stability, biological integration and clinical outcomes. However, the decision about the choice of suture-anchor materials remain elusive. There are some factors, including reliability, effectiveness, simplicity, familiarity, and cost, that affect a surgeon's preference.

Metatarsal Head Restoration With Tendon Autograft in Freiberg's Disease: A Case Report.

Freiberg's disease is a form of osteochondrosis of a metatarsal head that often affects the second metatarsophalangeal joint, and that affects females more often than males. Repetitive microtrauma, osteonecrosis, and stress overload are the main factors in its pathophysiology. Surgical intervention is indicated in advanced cases wherein nonoperative treatment has failed.

Extensor mechanism reconstruction with peroneus longus tendon autograft for neglected patellar fracture, report of 2 cases.

Extensor mechanism deficiency in the knee may occur due to neglected patellar and quadriceps tendons rupture or may be caused by chronic fractures of the patella. Older patients can tolerate nonunion with impaired function including extension limitation or persistent muscle weakness. In young patients, performing rigid internal fixation with reoperation should be considered when a nonunion occurs.

Arthroscopic glenoid labral lesion repair using all-suture anchor for traumatic anterior shoulder instability: short-term results.

Background: This study presents the preliminary clinical results of arthroscopic glenoid labral lesion repair using all-suture anchors in the treatment of recurrent traumatic anterior shoulder instability.

Methods: Seventy patients who underwent arthroscopic shoulder stabilization for traumatic anterior shoulder instability were evaluated in this single center-based retrospective study. Patients with a glenoid defect greater than 20%, off-track engaging Hills-Sachs lesion, multidirectional instability, and generalized ligamentous laxity were excluded.

Extracranial location of the osteoma: Patella, case report and literature review.

Osteoma is a benign tumor. Extracranial cases are very rare. Twelve cases have been reported by 10 different authors in the literature.
