Frykman Type 7-8 Distal Radius Fractures in Elderly Patients: Conservative Treatment vs Volar Plating.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the clinical outcomes of conservative and surgical treatments in elderly patients with displaced Frykman type 7-8 distal radius fractures.

Methods: The clinical outcomes of 50 patients aged 60 and older with displaced Frykman type 7-8 fractures who underwent surgical and conservative treatments between January 2019 and January 2022 were determined. The joint range of motion, pain scores, functional scores, radiological parameters, and any complications that occurred posttreatment were evaluated for each patient who underwent both treatments.

A rare rib lesion due to parosteal osteosarcoma: a case report.

Introduction: Masses which develop on the surface of the rib bones are rare. The differential diagnosis includes benign and malignant lesions.

Case Presentation: A 23-year-old European woman presented at an out-patient clinic with a 9-month history of a painless swelling on the right posterolateral side of her chest wall.

An unusual presentation of Trevor's disease at the ankle joint: Involvement of both medial and lateral epiphyses.

Introduction: Trevor's disease, also known as dyplasia epiphysealis hemimelica, is characterised by osteochondromas arising from epiphyses. The disease typically affects one side of an epiphysis (usually the medial side).

Case Presentation: A case in whom both the medial and lateral sides of the epiphysis were involved is described.

A rare case of a medullary, multifocal lesion in the distal radius.

In multifocal findings, the possibility of multifocal osteoid osteomas should be considered and this case helps us to be attentive for the unusual radiographical presentation of osteoid osteoma.

A Case of Schwannoma of the Common Peroneal Nerve in the Knee.

Schwannomas are benign neurogenic tumors of peripheral nerves that originate from neural sheath. The aim of this case report is to bring to mind the schwannoma in the patient with knee pain. A 39-year-old woman presented with a complaint of knee pain of three months history.

Deep peroneal nerve palsy due to osteochondroma arising from fibular head and proximal lateral tibia.

Following median and ulnar nerves, peroneal nerve entrapment is the most frequent nerve involvement in the body Katirji and Wilbourn (1998) [1]. Osteochondromas are the most common benign bone tumors comprising 9% of all bone tumors and 35% of benign bone tumors Porter (2000) [2]. Hereditary exostoses (HME) is an autosomal dominant disorder with variable penetrance characterized by multiple osteochondromas near joints.

Effects of Low-Intensity Treadmill Exercise on Sciatic Nerve in Experimental Diabetic Neuropathy.

Objective: To investigate the potential beneficial effects of low-intensity exercise on histopathological changes of sciatic nerves in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats.

Study Design: The rats were allotted randomly into 3 experimental groups: A (control), B (diabetic untreated), and C (diabetic treated with low-intensity exercise); each group contained 8 animals. Groups B and C received STZ.

Comparison between two anatomic landmarks using ultrasonography in spinal anesthesia: a randomized controlled trial.

Background And Objective: Tuffier's line is the most used anatomic landmark in clinical practice. We aimed to compare the accuracy of Tuffier's line with a landmark that joins the two lowest points of the tenth rib on the flanks with the help of ultrasound.

Methods: A prospective, randomized, controlled, double-blinded trial was performed with 200 patients aged between 18 and 50.

Results of screw fixation in Mason type II radial head fractures.

Purpose: The treatment of Mason type II fractures is controversial, and the aim of our study is to define the outcome of surgical treatment with screw fixation in the Mason type II radial head fracture.

Methods: The study was carried out between 2011 and 2015, and included 14 men and 9 women, with isolated Mason type II radial head fractures which were treated operatively with screw fixation. Cases involving the additional ligament injury or fractures in other areas, or having a follow-up period which is greater than 11 months were excluded.

Preiser's disease in a five-fingered hand.

Preiser's disease, also known as idiopathic avascular necrosis of the scaphoid, and five-fingered hand are rare hand conditions. In this report, we present a case of a 25 year old female patient who had avascular necrosis of the scaphoid and five-fingered hand.

Protective effects of Nigella sativa on gamma radiation-induced jejunal mucosal damage in rats.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of Nigella sativa in protection of jejunal mucosa against harmful effects of gamma radiation.

Methods: Radiotherapy group received abdominal gamma radiation of 15Gy in addition to physiological saline. Radiotherapy+Nigella sativa treatment group received abdominal gamma radiation of 15Gy in addition to Nigella sativa treatment in the amount of 400mg/kg.

Results of surgical treatment in metacarpal shaft fractures using low profile mini plates.

Background: Metacarpal fractures are among the most common fractures of the hand. They may lead to loss of function if treated improperly. These injuries can be treated conservatively.

Lung Metastasis Mimicking Fingertip Infection.

Metastasis fingers (acral metastasis) are finding a poor prognosis. Past medical history should be questioned and metastasis from primary tumor should be kept in mind in patients with pain, swelling, and hyperemia in fingers. Successful surgical treatment on acral metastasis does not extend the life expectancy; however, it reduces the patient's pain during his terminal period, saves the functions of the limb, and increases life comfort.

Rare inferior shoulder dislocation (luxatio erecta).

Although shoulder dislocations have been seen very frequently, inferior dislocation of shoulder constitutes only 0.5% of all shoulder dislocations. We share our 4 patients with luxatio erecta and present their last clinical control.
