Intralesional curettage and cementation of low-grade chondrosarcomas of the appendicular skeleton: Long-term results from a single center.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the results and complications in patients who had low-grade chondrosarcomas in the appendicular skeleton and were treated by intralesional curettage and cementation within the scope of 25 years of experience in a single center.

Methods: Ninety-one patients (72 female and 19 male) were retrospectively analyzed. The median at the time of surgery was 43 (17-78) years, and the median follow-up was 102 (26-288) months.

Does posterior cruciate ligament sacrifice influence dynamic balance after total knee arthroplasty? Comparison of cruciate-retaining and cruciate-substituting designs in bilaterally operated patients.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate whether the posterior cruciate ligament sacrifice during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has any effect on postoperative standing balance or not.

Methods: The patients who underwent bilateral TKA with either CR or PS design were analyzed. 30 patients (10 PS, 20 CR) were included for the final analysis.

Comparison of three surgical methods in the treatment of intraarticular comminuted distal radius fractures: Volar locking plate, non-bridging external fixator, and bridging external fixator.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate both clinical and radiological results of intraarticular comminuted distal radius fractures treated with volar locking plate (VLP), non-bridging external fixator (NbEF), and bridging external fixator (BEF).

Patients And Methods: 95 patients (44 males, 51 females; median age 49 years; interquartile range (IQR), 37 to 60 years) who were treated with VLP, NbEF, or BEF due to intraarticular comminuted distal radius fractures between January 2010 and April 2014 were evaluated retrospectively. 34 of these patients were treated with a VLP (VLP group), 30 with a NbEF (NbEF group) and 31 with a BEF (BEF group).

Functional and radiological outcomes of multiple dorsal carpometacarpal fracture dislocations treated with open reduction and internal fixation.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the clinical and radiological results of patients with multiple dorsal carpometacarpal (CMC) joint fracture dislocations treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF).

Patients And Methods: We evaluated 14 patients (12 males, 2 females; mean age 35.1 years; range, 22 to 64 years) between January 2013 and December 2017.

Arthroscopic suture-tape internal bracing is safe as arthroscopic modified Broström repair in the treatment of chronic ankle instability.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to compare the intermediate-term clinical outcomes between lateral ligaments augmentation using suture-tape and modified Broström repair in a selected cohort of patients. The hypothesis of the presented study is that suture-tape augmentation technique has comparable clinical and radiological outcomes with arthroscopic Broström repair technique.

Methods: Sixty-one consecutive patients with chronic ankle instability were operated between 2012 and 2016 randomized to 2 groups.

The comparison of arthroscopic acromioplasty with and without acromioclavicular coplaning.

Background: Coplaning means the removal of medial acromial spurs and inferior aspect of the distal clavicle. The aim of the study was to evaluate the outcomes of arthroscopic acromioplasty with and without coplaning in patients without acromioclavicular (AC) joint arthritis.

Methods: Because of impingement syndrome, arthroscopic subacromial decompression and acromioplasty was performed in Group 1 (9 males/31 female).

Intramedullary nail with integrated cephalocervical screws in the intertrochanteric fractures treatment: Position of screws in fracture stability.

Background: Stable fracture fixation is important in the treatment of intertrochanteric femur (ITF) fractures in the elderly population to prevent the loss of reduction, achieve early mobility, and restore independence. The aim of this study was to present the results of surgical treatment of stable and unstable ITF fractures using a trochanteric antegrade intramedullary nail with two cephalocervical screws in an integrated mechanism (Intertan®; Smith & Nephew, Memphis, TN) and evaluate the relationship between the loss of reduction and screw position in the femoral neck in two planes.

Methods: The authors investigated all varus misalignments and losses of reduction in 57 patients (22 males, 35 females) treated for ITF fractures with the Intertan® between 2010 and 2011.

Concomitant SLAP repair does not influence the surgical outcome for arthroscopic Bankart repair of traumatic shoulder dislocations.

Background: Prior studies revealed the presence of superior labrum anterior-to-posterior (SLAP) injury together with Bankart lesions in some patients. The purpose of the study is to compare the clinical results of isolated Bankart repairs with the clinical results of Bankart repairs when performed with concomitant SLAP repairs.

Methods: The patients who underwent arthroscopic surgery for treatment of anterior glenohumeral instability were evaluated retrospectively.

The efficiency of O-(beta-hydroxyethyl)-rutosides in reducing the incidence of superficial venous insufficiency in patients with calf muscle pump dysfunction.

Objective We aimed to evaluate the efficiency of O-(beta-Hydroxyethyl)-rutosides (Oxerutin) in reducing the incidence of venous system disease among patients with calf muscle pump dysfunction secondary to immobilization due to lower-limb fractures. Methods A total of 60 patients with lower-limb fractures and immobilized in plaster casts were included in this study randomized into control (n = 30; mean: 30.37 ± 6.
