Histological and scanning electron microscopy investigation of the effects of titanium surface modifications on osseointegration in rabbits.

This study aimed to compare the novel Estaş Medical Anodization (EMA) surface treatment technique with the techniques commonly used in the literature and to examine their effects on osteointegration in the rabbit tibia. A total of 24 rabbits used in this study were divided into 3 groups, with 8 rabbits in each group. Using both tibias of all rabbits in the study, screws belonging to the control group were placed in the left tibia, and the right tibia belonging to the experimental group were placed.

COMPARING GAIT AND HIP SCORES IN FEMORAL NECK AND INTERTROCHANTERIC FRACTURES.

Objective: Treatment modality is controversial in the unstable IT fractures. Ideal hemiarthroplasty treatment for unstable IT fractures should be comparable to that for FN fractures. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare patients who underwent cementless hemiarthroplasty for a diagnosis of FN and unstable IT in terms of clinical outcomes, functional scores, and smartphone-based gait analysis data.

Effect of patellar resurfacing surgery on bleeding in total knee arthroplasty.

Objective: Postoperative bleeding is one of the most important factors affecting clinical and functional results in total knee arthroplasty. Therefore, many studies have been conducted on bleeding in arthroplasty patients. However, there are very few reports investigating the effect of patellar surface replacement on bleeding in knee arthroplasty.

Anterior metaphyseal angle; much less individual variation in determining the posterior slope of the tibia.

Background: The question of how to specify the posterior tilt of the tibia during arthroplasty operations remains unclear. The most current opinion is that a design whereby incisions are made in parallel with the individual pre-arthritic posterior tilt will yield better post-operational results. However, the wide range of inter-individual variations of posterior tilt of the tibia and the difficult task of identifying the shaft axis of the tibia through standard lateral radiographs are the main obstacles to this particular method.

Is the 5-factor modified Frailty Index a prognostic marker in geriatric ankle fractures?

Background: The 5-factor modified Frailty Index (mFI-5), which is the latest version of the Frailty Index, is a tool that calculates the risk of complications after treatment by scoring the comorbidity status of the patient. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the mFI-5 in predicting complications in geriatric patients with an ankle fracture.

Methods: A retrospective examination was made of a total of 94 patients aged >65 years who were treated for an ankle fracture in our hospital between 2015 and 2020.

The effect of tranexamic acid on hidden blood loss in total hip arthroplasty.

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to examine the effect of tranexamic acid (TXA) on hidden blood loss in total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients.

Patients And Methods: Between June 2015 and June 2021, a total of 120 patients (45 males, 75 females; mean age 57.2±4.

Comparison of Three Different Surgical Fixation Techniques in Pediatric Forearm Double Fractures.

Introduction Although forearm fractures are one of the most common fractures in children, controversy remains about the optimal fixation technique in the surgical treatment of these fractures. The aim of this study was to compare the results of pediatric patients with a forearm double fracture who underwent open reduction and internal fixation (plate-screw group), elastic intramedullary nailing to both bones (ESIN), and hybrid fixation (the radius or ulna is fixed with the help of ESIN and the other forearm bone is fixed using plate-screw). Methods A retrospective scan was made of the records of 51 patients with forearm double diaphyseal fractures (19 plate-screw, 18 ESIN, and 14 hybrid fixation).

Total Infrapatellar Fat Pad Excision Leads to Worse Isokinetic Performance in Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

There are concerns that total infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP) excision in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) results in patellar tendon shortening due to ischemic contracture, but individual preference of the surgeon is still the main determinant between total or partial excision. The aim of this randomized controlled study was to compare isokinetic performance and clinical outcome of TKAs with total and partial excision of the IPFP. Seventy-two patients scheduled to undergo TKA for primary knee osteoarthritis by a single surgeon were randomly assigned to either total or partial excision group.

Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty results in a better gait pattern than total knee arthroplasty: Gait analysis with a smartphone application.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the smartphone- based gait analysis data of patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA).

Patients And Methods: Between January 2016 and April 2019, a total of 51 patients (3 males, 48 females; mean age: 60.92 years; range, 51 to 70 years) who were operated with UKA or TKA in our clinic were retrospectively analyzed.

No differences in clinical outcomes or isokinetic performance between cruciate-substituting ultra-congruent and posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasties: a randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: Whether ultra-congruent (UC) or posterior cruciate ligament-stabilized (PS) inserts should be used in posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)-sacrificing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains debatable. Therefore, the aim of this prospective randomized controlled study was to compare the isokinetic performance and clinical outcomes of these inserts in PCL-sacrificing TKA.

Methods: Sixty-six patients diagnosed with primary knee osteoarthritis were randomly assigned to either the UC or the PS group.

The effect of rotational deformity on patellofemoral parameters following the treatment of femoral shaft fracture.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of rotational deformities on patellofemoral alignment using the dynamic magnetic resonance imaging method on patients whose femur fractures were treated with intramedullary locking nails.

Methods: The dynamic patellofemoral magnetic resonance imaging results of 33 patients (5 females and 28 males) were reviewed. The mean age of the patients was 36.
