Functional outcomes of internal fixation of scapula fractures due to high-velocity gunshot injuries.

Background: Open fractures of the scapula are relatively rare and only a few studies are interested in this subject. This study aims to demonstrate the results of internal fixation of open scapula fractures due to gunshot injuries.

Materials And Methods: Eight patients who had open scapula fractures and were treated by internal fixation through the conventional Judet approach included in this study.

Results of quadratus femoris muscle pedicle bone grafting (Meyers' procedure) in the management of ununited femoral neck fractures.

Purpose: Femoral neck fractures in young patients are associated with increase complication risk. The objective of this study was to evaluate the results of quadratus femoris muscle pedicle grafting in the treatment of ununited femoral neck fractures.

Methods: This study includes 16 patients with ununited femoral neck fractures treated with quadratus femoris muscle pedicle graft.

Case Report: Late Reconstruction of the Land Mine-Injured Heel With an Osteomyocutaneous Composite Fibular Flap.

The heel comprises the epidermis, minimal subcutaneous tissue, a dense septum, and the calcaneus. Injury to any of these structures can impair the ability to walk. The soft tissue or calcaneal bone can be injured by trauma.

Evaluation and comparison of the effect of hypothermia and ozone on ischemia-reperfusion injury of skeletal muscle in rats.

Background: Tourniquet-induced ischemia-reperfusion, which affects local and distant organs, is very common in orthopedic surgery. Hypothermia is used in traumatic tissue during ischemic period commonly. Ozone (O3) has been recommended as a novel therapeutic agent in various medical conditions.

Late onset brachial artery thrombosis and total temporary peripheral neuropathy in a child with humerus supracondylar fracture: a case report.

Pediatric supracondylar fractures of the humerus are generally associated with neurovascular complications due to the deformity and sharp nature of bone fragments. When treated inadequately, these injuries may result in catastrophic complications, such as Volkmann's contracture and amputation. To our knowledge, late onset brachial arterial thrombosis and total temporary peripheral neuropathy after surgery of pediatric supracondylar fracture in the setting of normal preoperative vascular examination has not been reported yet.

Effects of hypothermia on skeletal ischemia reperfusion injury in rats.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of hypothermia (H) on skeletal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in rats by measuring malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), nitric oxide (NO), and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) in muscle, and measureing immunohistochemical-inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) staining of skeletal muscle.

Materials And Methods: Eighteen Wistar Albino rats were divided randomly into three groups (sham, IR, hypothermia) (n=6). The sham group had all procedures without the IR period.
