How Many Bundles Does the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Consist of? A Case Report.

In some cases with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, physical examination and magnetic resolution imaging cannot clearly identify whether the ACL is intact or partially or completely ruptured. A 40-year-old female patient was admitted to our clinic with complaints of knee pain. After the requested examinations, we could not clearly identify whether the ACL was intact or partially or completely ruptured.

Bilateral Anterior Glenohumeral Dislocation Following Grand Mal Epileptic Seizure: A Case Report.

Bilateral simultaneous shoulder dislocations are very rare injuries. Majority of the cases in the literature are posterior shoulder dislocations due to widespread contractions seen in grand-map epileptic seizures, electrocutions, and electric shocks. The literature shows us that bilateral anterior shoulder dislocations are generally seen after trauma related injuries rather than subsequent to epileptic seizures.

Prediction of clinical outcomes of single- and double- bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction techniques using magnetic resonance imaging.

Background: The objective of the study is to compare the clinical results of the single-bundle (SB) and double-bundle (DB) anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repairing techniques using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Methods: Thirty-eight patients were randomized by block randomization into two different groups of ACL reconstruction: DB (n=19) and SB techniques (n=19). MRI evaluation and clinical examination with modified Cincinnati Knee Rating Score and Lysholm knee scores were performed pre-operatively and at the end of a follow-up period of 36 months.

Measurement of iliotibial band diameter in iliotibial band friction syndrome and comparison with an asymptomatic population.

Background: Iliotibial band friction syndrome (ITBFS) is an overuse injury of the lateral aspect of the knee. This syndrome classically affects the active young population.

Purpose: To determine the diameter of the ITB using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients clinically diagnosed with ITBFS, compare the results with asymptomatic patients, and assess the inter-observer agreement between a senior and a junior radiologist with different levels of experience in musculoskeletal imaging.

Effectiveness of Four Different Treatment Modalities in the Treatment of Chronic Plantar Fasciitis During a 36-Month Follow-Up Period: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

No consensus has been reached about the best treatment method of plantar fasciitis and the results of the treatment methods have been inconsistent. The objective of the present study was to compare the therapeutic effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy, platelet-rich plasma injection, local corticosteroid injection, and prolotherapy for the treatment of chronic plantar fasciitis using a randomized, controlled, prospective study. We performed a randomized controlled prospective clinical study of 4 groups.

An Observational 1-Month Trial on the Efficacy and Safety of Promerim for Improving Knee Joint.

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of the oral intake of promerim in the elimination of acute pain and discomfort associated with knee osteoarthritis (OA).

Methods: Single-center, 1-month, prospective, observational clinical trial. A total of 92 patients not older than 70 years were included.

Epithelioid Angiosarcoma in Femur: A Case Presentation.

Primary malignant vascular tumors which constitute less than 1% of the primary bone tumors are very rarely encountered. Epithelioid angiosarcoma is a very uncommon subtype of angiosarcomas presenting with an epithelioid phenotype and mimicking carcinomas clinically. These tumors select mostly extra-skeletal locations but rarely bones as their medium.

Comparison of two different vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) treatments of multiple chronic diabetic foot wounds in the same extremity.

Background: The aim of the present study is to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of two different vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) applications in one center between two groups of patients with Wagner Grade 3-4 multiple chronic diabetic foot wounds.

Methods: The study was a randomized-controlled, prospective investigation between two groups of patients with Wagner Grade 3-4 multiple chronic diabetic foot wounds at single extremity. There were 10 patients in the first group receiving VAC treatment by means of Y-connector and 11 patients in the second group receiving bridge-VAC treatment.

Nontraumatic Myositis Ossificans of Hip: A Case Presentation.

In most of the cases trauma is the leading etiology and the nontraumatic myositis ossificans (MO) is a very rare condition. We present an MO case without any trauma occurring. A 36-year-old female patient with a history of pain and restriction of range of motion of the left hip was admitted.

Intra-articular lipoma of the knee joint located in the posterior compartment: A rare location.

This report presents the case of a 51-year-old woman with intermittent left knee pain, especially during full flexion of the knee, which had been ongoing for 1 year. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed mild effusion and round mass at the posterior compartment without synovial changes. Computerized tomography (CT) indicated mass had homogeneous low attenuation and density measurement of -99.

Transtibial vs anatomical single bundle technique for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Introduction: Most of the ACL reconstruction is done with isometric single-bundle technique. Traditionally, surgeons were trained to use the transtibial technique (TT) for drilling the femoral tunnel. Our study compared the early postoperative period functional and clinical outcomes of patients who had ACL reconstruction with TT and patients who had ACL reconstruction with anatomical single-bundle technique (AT).

Bilateral bucket handle medial meniscal tears of the knee: A case report.

Introduction: Meniscal tears may cause knee pain and functional impairment. Bilateral bucket-handle meniscal tears is an uncommon condition.

Presentation Of Case: This report presents the case of a 35-year-old male patient with bilateral bucket handle medial meniscal tears that occurred nonsimultaneously.

The role of a posteriorly positioned fibula in ankle sprain.

Background: Specific anatomic variations of the ankle mortise may predispose people to ankle sprains.

Hypothesis: There is a correlation between a higher malleolar index (posteriorly positioned fibula) and incidence of ankle sprain.

Study Design: Prospective case control study.

The accuracy of joint line tenderness by physical examination in the diagnosis of meniscal tears.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to document the accuracy of joint line tenderness in the diagnosis of meniscal tears.

Type Of Study: Prospective cohort study.

Methods: There were 104 male recruits (age range, 18 to 20 years; mean, 19.

[Treatment of intertrochanteric fractures of the femur with Ender nails in patients over the age of 65 years].

Objectives: We evaluated the results of treatment with Ender nails in intertrochanteric fractures of the femur in patients exceeding the age of 65 years.

Methods: Thirty-three patients (18 women, 15 men; mean age 78 years; range 65 to 98 years) were treated with Ender nails for non-pathological fractures of the intertrochanteric part of the femur. The right hips were involved in 17 patients and the left in 15 patients.

Open reduction and plate fixation of femoral shaft fractures in children aged 4 to 10.

A retrospective review of 40 children aged 4 to 10 years with 46 femur fractures treated with open reduction and plate fixation is presented. Follow-up time was 6.3 years (range 2.

[Results of excision of the radial head in comminuted fractures].

Objectives: To evaluate the results of radial head excision in the treatment of comminuted radial head fractures.

Methods: The study included 20 patients (14 men, 6 women; mean age 34 years; range 21 to 55 years) who underwent radial head excision for comminuted, closed fractures. Sixteen patients had Mason type 3 and four patients had type 4 fractures.

[Plate fixation of closed femoral shaft fractures in adolescents].

Objectives: This study was designed to evaluate the results, advantages, and disadvantages of plate fixation of closed femoral shaft fractures in adolescents between the ages of 11 and 15 years.

Methods: The study included 35 adolescents (26 males, 9 females; mean age 13.4 years) who were treated by plate fixation for closed femoral shaft fractures and had an adequate follow-up.
