Treatment of open wounds secondary to trauma using polyurethane foams with boric acid particles.

Background: To investigate the efficacy of new foams with boric acid particles combined with a negative pressure wound treatment (NPWT) system in open fractures with tissue defects secondary to trauma.

Methods: Forty-nine patients with open fractures secondary to trauma with soft tissue defects who were admitted between 2016 and 2018 were included in the study. Patients were examined in two groups.

Epiphysis Salvage Reconstruction and Associated Complications Following Tumor Resections in Skeletally Immature Patients.

The purpose of this study was to discuss the epiphysis salvage reconstruction procedure outcomes and complications in skeletally immature patients. The study included 12 patients with pediatric malignant tumors (osteosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma) located close to the epiphysis, who underwent epiphyseal-preservation surgery with vascularized fibula in the plastic surgery and orthopedics and traumatology clinic between January 2008 and November 2018. The study was designed retrospectively.

Two-stage treatment with sliding fibular flap technique for chronic infected nonunion of the tibia.

Purpose: To assess the effectiveness of two-stage treatment with the fibular sliding technique in chronic infected nonunion of the tibia.

Methods: The study included patients who were diagnosed with long-term chronic infected tibial nonunion following trauma and treated with the two-stage technique between January 2010 and November 2017. Patients with (1) intra-articular fractures of the distal third of the tibia and fibula, (2) pathological fracture resulting in bone loss or (3) neurological and vascular pathologies of the limbs were excluded.

Treatment of chronic wounds with polyurethane sponges impregnated with boric acid particles: A randomised controlled trial.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the sponge with boric acid particles combined with the negative pressure wound treatment (NPWT) system for chronic wounds with tissue defects. Our study was designed as a prospective randomised study. One hundred patients who were planned to have NPWT due to chronic wounds were included in this study from Orthopaedics and Traumatology and Plastic Surgery clinics.

Evaluation of radiologic diagnostic criteria and treatment options in skeletal muscle hydatid cysts.

Aim: To investigate the diagnosis and treatment methods of soft tissue involvement of hydatid cysts (HCs).

Materials And Methods: Eleven patients who were diagnosed as having HC with muscular tissue (soft tissue) involvement between 2010 and 2016 were evaluated retrospectively. Seven patients had typical HC magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and four patients had cysts with an unusual appearance.
