Sexual Dysfunction in Women After Tibial Fracture: A Retrospective Comparative Study.

BACKGROUND Tibial fractures, common in adults, are often treated with external or internal fixation methods. While effective, external fixation (EF) can lead to sexual dysfunction (SD), especially in young patients. This study aimed to assess SD in women undergoing EF versus internal fixation for tibial fractures.

Does forearm position matter in subpectoral biceps tenodesis? A randomised controlled trial.

Introduction: The optimal position of the elbow and forearm during biceps tenodesis is a debated topic. The aim of our study was to compare two different forearm positions, pronation-extension (PE) or neutral, for fixation of the long head of the biceps tendon (LHB) in biceps tenodesis.

Materials And Methods: Fifty patients who underwent shoulder arthroscopy between February 2016 and January 2019 were included in our study.

The effect of gluteus maximus tenotomy in primary total hip arthroplasty with posterior approach: Kinematic analysis of hip extensor strength.

Background: The posterior approach (PA) is the most commonly used surgical approach for total hip arthroplasty (THA), but the proximity of the sciatic nerve may increase the likelihood of sciatic nerve injury (SNI). Gluteus maximus tenotomy can be performed to prevent SNI because tenotomy increases the distance between the femoral neck and sciatic nerve and prevents compression of the sciatic nerve by the gluteus maximus tendon (GMT) during hip movements. We aimed to kinematically compare the postoperative hip extensor forces of patients who have and have not undergone gluteus maximus tenotomy to determine whether there is a difference in hip extensor strength.

Mobile technology for recording surgical procedures.

Mobile technology has been advancing in countless directions, and in particular medicine has been an attractive place for mobile technology innovators. The recording of surgical procedures, however, has not been one of those directions, possibly because there is a lack of software specifically designed for recording open surgical procedures. Using an iPhone SE as the device to record video along with an app devised by one of the authors, five cases of various neck surgeries (two submandibular gland resections, two neck dissections, one neck dissection and supraglottic laryngectomy) were recorded.
