Impact of open bursectomy and biceps tendon release with closed manipulation in frozen shoulder.

This retrospective observational study evaluated the efficacy of 2 different surgical approaches for the treatment of frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). This study aimed to compare the efficacy, safety, and recovery times of the 2 treatment modalities. Fifty patients diagnosed with frozen shoulder and treated at Seyhan State Hospital were included in the study.

Comparison of Outcomes between Open and Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair.

Objective: The objective of this retrospective cohort study is to evaluate the long-term clinical and functional outcomes of two surgical techniques for rotator cuff repair, namely, open and arthroscopic methods.

Methods: A total of 100 patients diagnosed with rotator cuff tears and treated at Seyhan State Hospital in the past five years were enrolled, considering the same inclusion criteria for both groups. The study groups consisted of 50 patients who underwent open rotator cuff repair and 50 patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Outcome of Chronic Foot Osteomyelitis Treated With Hyperbaric Oxygen: An Observational Study.

Chronic refractory osteomyelitis of the foot stands as a formidable challenge in medical care, associated with significant morbidity and escalating healthcare costs. Traditional therapeutic approaches, including surgical debridement and systemic antibiotics, often fall short, leaving patients and clinicians in search of more efficacious interventions. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), an innovative therapeutic modality, has recently emerged as a promising adjunct therapy, offering a beacon of hope in this therapeutic conundrum.

Fluoroscopy-free distal screw locking in intramedullary nailing: A retrospective study.

Intramedullary nailing is a common orthopedic procedure, but current methods for distal screw locking have several limitations. This study introduces and evaluates a novel technique that aims to overcome these challenges. The findings were statistically significant, with P-values set at .

Giant Coronary Artery Aneurysm Causing Acute Anterior Myocardial Infarction.

A 70-year-old man with hypertension was admitted to our coronary ICU with acute anterior MI. Emergent primary PCI was planned and coronary angiography was performed. LAD artery was totally occluded in the proximal segment just after a huge 32 × 26 mm sized aneurysm.

Combined use of propagation velocity and intraventricular dispersion of E wave velocity for the evaluation of diastolic functions in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate diastolic functions in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by propagation velocity and intraventricular dispersion of E wave velocity.

Methods: Thirty-four patients fulfilling American Rheumatism Association (ARA) criteria for the diagnosis of RA without evidence of cardiac disease and left ventricular systolic dysfunction were enrolled in this study. Echocardiographic examinations were performed for the evaluation of diastolic dysfunction in all patients.
