Comparison of 2 different fixation techniques of comminuted acetabular quadrilateral surface fractures using square bracket-shaped tubular plate or interfragmentary screws in addition to supra/infrapectineal plate fixation: An observational study.

The management of comminuted quadrilateral fractures remains challenging, and treatment options are constantly evolving. The purpose of the present study was to examine the outcomes of 2 different fixation techniques in the management of comminuted quadrilateral fractures. Twenty-two patients with comminuted quadrilateral acetabular fractures were surgically treated with interfragmentary lag screw (group 1) and square bracket-shaped tubular (SBST) plate technique (group 2), in addition to suprapectineal and infrapectineal pelvic reconstruction plate fixation between January 2016 and July 2019 at our clinic.

The Effect of Intraabdominal Visceral and Subcutaneous Adipose Volume and Muscle Volume on Lumbar Vertebrae Degeneration.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effect of the volume of subcutaneous, visceral, and total adipose tissue, and paravertebral muscles in patients with lumbar vertebrae degeneration (LVD) through computerized tomography (CT) images.

Materials And Methods: One forty-six patients with a complaint of lower back pain (LBP) between January 2019 and December 2021 were included in the study. CT scans of all patients were analyzed retrospectively for abdominal visceral, subcutaneous, and total fat volume, and also paraspinal muscle volume measurements and analysis of lumbar vertebrae degeneration (LVD) using designated software.

Fixation of bilateral acetabular fractures using the modified Stoppa approach: Two-year clinical outcomes.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the two-year clinical results of bilateral acetabular fractures operated via a single incision with the modified Stoppa approach.

Patients And Methods: Between January 2013 and January 2020, a total of 22 acetabular fractures of 11 patients (7 males, 4 females; mean age: was 42.9±13.

Evaluation of femoral head bone quality by Hounsfield units: a comparison with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.

Background: Osteoporosis is associated with decreases in bone mineral density (BMD) and is diagnosed using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Computed tomography (CT), performed in routine practice, can also be used to evaluate bone quality without additional cost.

Purpose: To determine whether Hounsfield units (HU), a standardized CT attenuation coefficient, measured from the femoral head correlated with DXA-measured BMD.

The Shapes and Normal Dimensions of the Sella Turcica.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the normal dimensions and shape of the sella turcica (ST) in the Turkish population using multidetector computed tomography.

Methods: This single-center, retrospective study included 188 patients who met the study criteria and had paranasal multidetector computed tomography taken between January 2019 and December 2019. The patients included in the study comprised 77 females and 111 males.

Evaluation of the Nexus X-ray rules in blunt thorax trauma.

Background: There is still no agreed radiographic rule for the evaluation of blunt thoracic trauma. Emergency physicians want radiography according to their experience and examination findings. Various studies have been carried out on this subject and some of these studies have reached findings that can support the initial steps of the rules of radiography.

The relationship of radiographic findings with pain, function, and quality of life in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between pain, function and quality of life with radiographic findings in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA).

Methods: A total of 86 patients diagnosed with knee OA were included in the study. Demographic, physical, and pathological information was collected.

Synchronous duodenum and descending colon metastasis from primary lung neuroendocrine small-cell carcinoma: A case report and review of the literature.

Introduction: Metastasis to the gastrointestinal tract from lung cancer is very uncommon and is often asymptomatic. Although small bowel metastasis may commonly occur, metastases to the stomach and colon are uncommon.

Case Report: In this paper, we present a previously healthy 57-year-old male patient, a 60-packet per year smoker, who was taken to the emergency room with complaints of increasing abdominal pain, rectal bleeding, weight loss, and dyspnea for the last three months.

Crescent Technique with Dual C-Shaped Reconstruction Plates for Posterior Acetabular Wall Fractures.

Here we have defined a novel technique for repairing posterior acetabular wall fractures called the "crescent technique," in which dual C-shaped reconstruction plates overlap at the distal ends and, if necessary, at the proximal ends. We also analyzed the efficacy and reliability of this method. This was a retrospective analysis of 27 patients undergoing the crescent technique.

Treatment results for acetabulum fractures using the modified Stoppa approach.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological results of the surgical treatment of acetabular fractures using modified Stoppa approach.

Methods: A total of 57 patients (mean age 37.8 years; range 15-84) who underwent surgical treatment for acetabular fracture with modified Stoppa approach from February 2013 to June 2016 were included into the study.

The Use Of Suture Anchors In Akin Osteotomy : A New Surgical Technique.

To perform an Akin osteotomy using suture anchors to achieve stability of the osteotomy line and avoid the need for a further operation to remove an implant. Akin osteotomy using suture anchors was performed on 35 feet of 30 patients (21 female, 9 male ; mean age 45 years, range 18-60 yrs) diagnosed with hallux valgus. In bilateral cases, surgery was firstly carried out on the foot in the more serious condition, followed by the second foot 2 months later.
