Background: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a major complication following hip arthroplasty, leading to prolonged hospital stays, increased health care costs, and major morbidity. Diabetes mellitus is a prevalent comorbidity among hip arthroplasty patients, contributing to an increased risk of surgical complications, including infections. However, limited evidence exists regarding the microbial profiles of PJIs in diabetic patients compared to nondiabetic counterparts.

- The study compares the microbiological profiles of periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) in diabetic versus non-diabetic patients following total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
- Diabetic patients showed higher rates of specific pathogens and greater risk of polymicrobial infections, alongside more comorbidities that complicate outcomes.
- The findings highlight the need for customized infection control strategies for diabetic patients undergoing TKA to reduce PJIs and enhance patient care.
Background: It has not yet been fully established that there is coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) involvement in the synovial fluid and it remains a topic of debate.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in knee joint synovial fluid of patients with COVID-19.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted with an initial screening of patients who were admitted to a tertiary pandemic hospital due to COVID-19 symptoms, and underwent treatment for COVID-19 between March and June 2020.
Background: This research investigated surgical interventions for the treatment of extremity and pelvic fractures and aimed to provide an analysis of management challenges under crisis conditions in a Level I Trauma Center after Türkiye's February 6, 2023, earthquakes.
Methods: The study was a retrospective examination of the medical records of 243 fracture cases associated with the earthquakes. The age, gender, time of admission, types of extremity and pelvic fractures, anatomical localizations, and surgical treatment methods for fractures were recorded.
Objective: The aim of this study was to conduct a sonographic assessment of sciatic nerve thickness and stiffness following total hip arthroplasty (THA) and to determine the relationship between sonographic characteristics of the sciatic nerve and clinical outcomes.
Methods: This prospective study included patients undergoing primary cementless THA due to hip osteoarthritis between January 2018 and January 2019 in a tertiary-level hospital. The thickness, strain elastography, strain ratio (SR), and shear wave elastography (SWE) of the sciatic nerve were measured.
