No-anesthesia for Colles fracture.

Background: This study aims to measure the perceived pain during the reduction of Colles fracture without anesthesia in both children and adults. It describes the process and reveals duration for reduction, total hospital stays and compares them with the same procedure under hematoma block.

Methods: We employed the Wong-Baker FACES pain scale to assess pain reduction in 135 adults and 98 pediatric patients undergoing Colles fracture reduction with or without hematoma block.

The Effect of Acromioplasty Performed During Rotator Cuff Repairs on Clinical Outcomes in Patients With Type 3 Acromion: A Retrospective Study.

Objective: Rotator cuff (RC) tears often necessitate surgery, with acromioplasty being frequently performed alongside RC repair. However, the impact of acromioplasty on clinical outcomes remains a subject of discussion. The current study aimed to investigate the effect of acromioplasty during RC repair on clinical outcomes in patients with type 3 acromion.

Difficulties Experienced by Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis during the Conservative Treatment Process: A Qualitative Study.

Background And Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the difficulties faced by patients with knee osteoarthritis during the conservative treatment process.

Materials And Methods: We included twenty-one patients who were diagnosed with knee osteoarthritis and admitted to the orthopedics and traumatology outpatient clinic of the hospital where the researcher worked between January 2022 and April 2022. We interviewed each patient using semi-structured face-to-face interviews.

What Does Postponement of Non-urgent Orthopedic Surgeries During the COVID-19 Pandemic Mean for Patients With Gonarthrosis in Turkey? A Qualitative Study.

Objective During the COVID-19 pandemic, the surgical treatment of orthopedic diseases for elective surgical planning was suspended. This study aimed to evaluate patients' experiences with gonarthrosis regarding the postponement of non-urgent orthopedic surgeries during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods This phenomenological qualitative study was carried out with patients diagnosed with grade 3 or 4 gonarthrosis in the orthopedics and traumatology outpatient clinic of a hospital in western Turkey between February 2021 and March 2021.

Shortest time interval for detecting the progression of knee osteoarthritis on consecutive X-rays.

Objectives: This study aims to find the shortest needed time interval between two consecutive anteroposterior (AP) knee X-rays of the same patient to determine the progression of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) by a trained eye.

Patients And Methods: In this retrospective study, 2,145 AP knee X-rays of 848 primary KOA patients (331 males, 517 females; mean age 65±9 years; range, 50 to 92 years) followed-up between January 2014 and December 2017 were used. Randomly generated 1,280 pairs of knee X-rays were shown to 14 orthopedic surgeons working in the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, and then the physicians were asked to select the second X-ray of the same arthritis knee.

Clinical and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Outcomes of Microfracture Plus Chitosan/Blood Implant vs Microfracture for Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus.

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) outcomes of arthroscopic microfracture (MF) plus chitosan-glycerol phosphate/blood implant and MF alone for the treatment of the osteochondral lesions of the talus (OCLTs).

Methods: Patients who underwent either MF plus chitosan (group 1, n = 32) or MF alone (group 2, n = 31) between 2015 and 2019 in 2 separate time periods were retrospectively analyzed. Visual analog scale (VAS) score and American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score were used for clinical evaluation.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Outcomes of Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus Associated With Ankle Fractures.

Background: Osteochondral lesions of the talus (OCLTs) secondary to ankle fractures have previously been reported in the literature. However, no study has evaluated OCLTs using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) following ankle fracture treatment. The purpose of our study was to investigate accompanying OCLTs in patients with an ankle fracture and evaluate its relationship with the clinical outcomes.

Foot orthoses use for pediatric flexible flatfoot: comparative evaluation of quality of life for children and parents.

This study aimed to comparatively evaluate the quality of life scores of patients with pediatric flexible flatfoot (PFF) according to the use of foot orthoses. We also aimed to compare quality of life scores of children and their parents. Nonobese children aged between 5 and 10 years old who were diagnosed as PFF according to physical and radiological examinations were included in this cross-sectional comparative study.

Should orthopedic surgeons consider reducing the negative effects of Outerbridge grade 2 patellofemoral chondral lesion on early postoperative recovery during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to comparatively evaluate the effectiveness of intra-articular PRP and HA injections applied as the treatment of Outerbridge grade 2 chondral lesions in patellofemoral joint during arthroscopic ACL reconstruction.

Methods: The clinical and radiographic data of 61 patients between 18 and 45 years of age were evaluated. The patients were separated into three groups.

Clinical and radiographic outcomes of chitosan-glycerol phosphate/blood implant are similar with hyaluronic acid-based cell-free scaffold in the treatment of focal osteochondral lesions of the knee joint.

Purpose: To determine the clinical and radiographic efficacy of chitosan-glycerol phosphate/blood implant versus hyaluronic acid-based cell-free scaffold in patients with focal osteochondral lesion of the knee joint.

Methods: Clinical data of 46 patients surgically treated using either chitosan-glycerol phosphate/blood implant (25 patients, Group 1) or hyaluronic acid-based cell-free scaffold (21 patients, Group 2) in combination with microfracture were retrospectively evaluated. All lesions were Outerbridge grade III or IV with a mean lesion size of 3.
