Investigation of Novel Radiological Parameters to Predict Treatment Failure and Ideal Surgical Interventions in Young Femoral Neck Fractures Treated with Triple Cannulated Screw: A Retrospective Analysis.

Introduction: Treatment failure remains a challenge in young femoral neck fractures treated with triple cannulated screws (TCS). This study aims to identify novel radiological parameters that can predict treatment failure and propose surgical techniques to enhance the success of TCS or aid in selecting alternative methods.

Patients And Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 87 patients who underwent surgery for femoral neck fractures between February 2014 and June 2022, meeting the inclusion criteria.

In cases of humeral diaphyseal fractures, is lateral approach surgery without radial nerve exploration as effective and safe as conventional surgery?

Background: This study compares the efficacy and safety of lateral approach surgery with and without radial nerve dissection in treating humeral diaphyseal fractures. It assesses clinical, radiological, and complication outcomes, providing a description of the surgical methods and perioperative benefits.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 71 patients admitted between May 2015 and December 2022 who underwent lateral approach surgery for humeral diaphyseal fractures.

Is intramedullary nailing of femoral diaphyseal fractures in the lateral decubitus position as safe and effective as on a traction table?

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the radiological and clinical results of femoral diaphyseal fractures operated in the lateral decubitus position with those operated in the supine position on a traction table and to detail the perioperative surgical technique.

Patients And Methods: Between October 2018 and January 2022, in this prospective, randomized, and single-blind comparative study, 75 patients diagnosed with adult femoral diaphyseal fractures to whom intramedullary nails were applied were operated in the lateral decubitus position without a traction table (Group 1, 37 patients) and in the supine position with a traction table (Group 2, 38 patients). Preoperative age, gender, fracture mechanism, fracture type, and surgical waiting times were determined.

Comparison of below-knee and above-knee amputations with demographic, comorbidity, and haematological parameters in patients who died.

Background: This study aimed to establish mortality predictive parameters with a higher contribution to mortality by comparing the demographic data, comorbid factors, and haematological values of patients who underwent below-knee and above-knee amputation and had died during the follow-up period.

Materials And Methods: Between March 2014 and January 2022, 122 patients in a single centre who developed foot gangrene due to chronic diabetes and underwent below-knee or above-knee amputation were evaluated retrospectively. Patients who died of natural causes during the post-operative period were included in the study.

Are external fixators as effective as volar plates in multi-fragmented radius distal intra-articular fractures (AO type C)?

Introduction: This study aimed to compare the radiological and clinical results of VP and EF applications in multi-fragmented radius distal intra-articular fractures (AO type C) in our clinic.

Methods: We retrospectively analysed 80 patients who underwent surgery for radius distal fracture (AO type C) between 2014 and 2020. Group 1 comprised patients who were treated with VP, and Group 2 comprised patients who were treated with EF.

Association between fracture type and the risk of bleeding in intertrochanteric femur fractures.

Introduction: The current study aimed to determine the association between fracture type and pre-operative hemoglobin level decrease in intertrochanteric fractures. Further, the erythrocyte unit required in replacement therapy until discharge according to fracture type was evaluated.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 194 patients diagnosed with intertrochanteric femur fracture who received proximal femoral nail implantation.

Is proximal femoral nailing of unstable intertrochanteric fractures in the lateral decubitus position without a traction table as safe and effective as on a traction table?

Objectives: Using proximal femoral nailing (PFN) in the lateral decubitus (lateral) position may be an option when no traction table is available. We hypothesized that applying PFN would be effective and reliable in the lateral position without a traction table. To test our hypothesis, we compared the two techniques in a prospective, randomized controlled study.
