Risk factors and rates of revision amputation following ischemic lower major limb amputations: A 10-year retrospective analysis.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the rates and risk factors associated with revision amputation following ischemic lower major limb amputations, focusing on cases related to peripheral arterial disease.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective study included 253 patients (174 males, 79 females; mean age: 73.1±12.

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on One-Year Mortality in Geriatric Hip Fracture: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly impacted global healthcare systems, necessitating substantial shifts in patient care strategies. The pandemic's onset led to drastic operational changes in hospitals, including reduced bed capacity and staffing levels, which could have further influenced the mortality outcomes for geriatric patients. The study aimed to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on 1-year mortality rates of surgically treated geriatric hip fractures.

Comparison of AO, Schatzker, and three-column classification systems in tibial plateau fractures: Impact on functional outcomes.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare the AO, Schatzker, and Three-Column classification systems for tibial plateau fractures, focusing on their prognostic and functional outcome prediction and influence on clinical decisions across different trauma types.

Patients And Methods: In this retrospective study, we examined 49 patients (36 males, 11 females; mean age: 40.6±11.

Comparison of the functional and radiological results of the conservatively and surgically treated displaced acetabulum fractured patients.

Background: The purpose of the study was to compare the functional and radiological results of the conservatively and surgically treated displaced acetabular fractured patients.

Methods: The study included 61 patients with a displaced acetabulum fracture over the age of 18, who have been treated con-servatively or surgically for acetabular fractures, between 2000 and 2014. Patients were divided into two groups according to their treatment type.

Symptomatic Deep Vein Thrombosis Following Elective Knee Arthroscopy Over the Age of 40.

Thromboprophylaxis following arthroscopic knee surgery (AKS) is not clear in the literature. The purpose of this study was to present the incidence of symptomatic deep vein thrombosis (DVT) following elective AKS over the age of 40. The secondary purpose was to investigate risk factors associated with venous thromboembolic events (VTEs).

Does electromagnetic-manual guided distal locking influence rotational alignment in antegrade femoral nailing?

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine whether distal locking using an electromagnetic-manual guided distal locking decreases the malrotation rate in femur fractures treated with intramedullary nailing.

Methods: A total of 113 adult patients having unilateral femoral shaft fractures treated using IM nails were evaluated regarding demographic features, injury mechanism, fracture type, interval between trauma and nailing, operation time and number of image intensifier shots during the operation at least one year after nailing. Patients were divided into two groups according to distal locking technique.
