Is there an optimal timing for surgical treatment of pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures in the first 24 hours?

Background: We aimed to determine the ideal surgical timing in the first 24 hours after admission to the hospital of pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures (SHF) that do not require emergent intervention.

Materials And Methods: Patients who underwent surgery in our institution between January 2011 and January 2019 due to pediatric Gartland type 3 SHFs were evaluated retrospectively. Open fractures, fractures associated with vascular injury and compartment syndrome, flexion type fractures were excluded.

The Cost and Consequences of Failed Osteosynthesis of Intertrochanteric Femur Fractures: A Matched Cohort Study.

Background: We aimed to evaluate the cost and consequences of failed osteosynthesis of intertrochanteric femur fracture (ITFF) patients and compare with primary ITFF patients.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 689 patients who underwent surgery due to ITFF via cephalomedullary nail. 31 patients (5.

Is Radiographic Osteoporotic Hip Morphology A Predictor For High Mortality Following Intertrochanteric Femur Fractures?: Osteoporotic Hip Morphology & Mortality.

Introduction: Factors related to mortality after intertrochanteric femur fractures (ITFF) have been investigated intensively in the literature except for radiographic osteoporotic hip morphology. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between mortality and radiographic osteoporotic hip morphology of patients with ITFF.

Patients And Methods: Patients who underwent surgery between the dates of January 2012 and June 2018 due to ITFF were retrospectively reviewed.

Dynamic and Stabilometric Analysis After Syndesmosis Injuries.

Background: Distal tibiofibular syndesmosis contributes to dynamic stability of the ankle joint and thereby affects gait cycle. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the grade of syndesmosis injury on plantar pressure distribution and dynamic parameters of the foot.

Methods: Grade of syndesmosis injury was determined by preoperative plain radiographic evaluation, intraoperative hook test, or external rotation stress test under fluoroscopic examination, and two groups were created: group 1, patients with grade III syndesmosis injury (n = 17); and group 2, patients with grade II syndesmosis injury (n = 10).

The mid-term effects on quality of life and foot functions following pilon fracture.

Background: Although pilon fractures are uncommon, they are of importance to orthopaedic surgeons because of the difficulty of treatment. Poor outcomes and high complication rates are seen despite various surgical methods. This study aims to examine the changes affecting the quality of life and foot functions in patients applied with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for a pilon fracture.

Injury mechanisms of ankle fractures with dislocation and analysis of differences on functional outcome.

Background: In the existing classifications, no importance is given to dislocations accompanying ankle fractures. The present study aims to investigate differences in injury mechanisms of ankle fractures with concomitant dislocation injury in respect of functional outcomes and complications.

Methods: A retrospective evaluation was carried out of 285 patients who underwent surgery in our clinic for an ankle fracture between January 2012 and December 2018.

Comparison of two platelet rich plasma formulations with viscosupplementation in treatment of moderate grade gonarthrosis: A prospective randomized controlled study.

Background: The success of platelet rich plasma (PRP) applications in conservative treatment of moderate gonarthrosis has increased over time. Two different PRP formulations that buffy coat (Leukocyte rich PRP: LR-PRP) and plasma-based (Leukocyte poor PRP: LP-PRP) are obtained by different centrifugation methods. This prospective randomized trial was whether LP-PRP will be more effective combination for moderate gonarthrosis when compared to LR-PRP or HA.

Intraobserver and interobserver reliability assessment of tibial plateau fracture classification systems.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the intra- and interobserver reliability of commonly used tibial plateau fracture classification systems.

Patients And Methods: This retrospective cohort study included computed tomography (CT) and plain radiographic images (lateral and anteroposterior X-rays) of 60 patients (40 males, 20 females; mean age 45.9 years; range 18 to 80 years) who presented to two orthopaedic clinics between January 2011 and January 2015 with unilateral tibial plateau fractures.

Platelet-rich plasma versus open surgical release in chronic tennis elbow: A retrospective comparative study.

Purpose: To compare short and mid-term results in the treatment of chronic elbow tendinosis with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or Nirschl surgical technique.

Method: A retrospective study was conducted on patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis, treated by Nirschl surgical technique (50 elbows) or PRP (60 elbows). Outcome was evaluated with Visual Analog Score (VAS), Mayo Elbow Scores and grip strength measurements.

Why two-thirds of patients accepted the second session in staged bilateral total knee arthroplasty: a prospective analysis of 111 patients.

Purpose: In staged bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA), regaining functional recovery and a painless joint with fulfilment of patients' expectations at the first stage is an integral part for a patient to progress to the second stage. As patient expectations drive postoperative satisfaction, the challenge is to match patient and surgeon expectations before surgery. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the postoperative patient expectations and clinical outcomes and to evaluate the rate of second stage in bilateral staged TKA.
