Distal radius fractures: What are the effects of ulnar styloid fracture and face-toface rehabilitation on the functional outcome?

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of the accompanying ulnar styloid fracture and 2 different postoperative rehabilitation protocols on the final outcomes following surgical treatment of distal radius fractures.

Methods: In this retrospective study, 47 patients (11 male, 35 female; mean age=52.6 years, age range=24-85) who underwent plate fixation for distal radius fractures were divided into 4 groups based on the presence of an ulnar styloid fracture and type of rehabilitation.

Treatment of Tibial and Femoral Bone Defects With Bone Transport Over an Intramedullary Nail.

Objectives: To evaluate the results of the bone transport over an intramedullary nail (BTON) technique for the treatment of segmental bone defects.

Design: Retrospective review of case series.

Setting: Level 1 trauma center.

Comparison of postoperative pain after open and endoscopic carpal tunnel release: A randomized controlled study.

Background: Results of open and endoscopic carpal tunnel surgery were compared with many studies done previously. To the best of our knowledge, difference in pain after endoscopic carpal tunnel release (ECTR) and open carpal tunnel release (OCTR) has not been objectively documented in literature. The aim of the study was to compare the pain intensity in the early postoperative period in patients undergoing OCTR versus those undergoing ECTR.

A Knotless Labro-Bicipital Repair Technique for SLAP Lesions.

Fixation methods for SLAP lesions are still controversial, and the strength of the fixation, suture and knot irritation, and placement and number of anchors are still being discussed. This uncertainty is directly related to the function and anatomy of the superior labrum and attached biceps. Knotless fixation methods close to the biceps anchorage at the 12-o'clock position are favored in recent literature.

Results of surgical management of valgus-impacted proximal humerus fractures with structural allografts.

Objective: The aim of this study was to clinically and radiologically evaluate patients treated with plate osteosynthesis with structural allografts for severely valgus-impacted fractures of the proximal humerus.

Methods: The study included 10 patients (average age: 57 years; range: 34 to 77 years) with valgus-impacted Neer Type 4 proximal humerus fractures. Fractures were classified according to the Robinson classification.

Tibial torus and toddler's fractures misdiagnosed as transient synovitis: a case series.

Introduction: The high incidence of transient synovitis in early childhood makes it the first suspected pathology in a limping child. Trauma, which has long been regarded as a causative factor for transient synovitis, may be underestimated in a non-cooperative toddler.After excluding most serious conditions, such as septic arthritis, a speculative diagnosis of transient synovitis can be made, and this can easily mask a subtle musculoskeletal injury.

Rice body mass formation mimicking a neoplastic disease around the trochanteric bursae of the hip.

Multiple rice body formation is an uncommon inflammatory process. Sometimes it leads to a big mass in unusual locations. Although sometimes associated with bursitis and systemic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, the pathophysiology of this rare entity is still obscure.

[The calcaneal angles in the Turkish population].

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the calcaneal angles on radiograms of individuals without a calcaneal fracture.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a total of 308 digital records of lateral ankle or foot radiographs taken from 268 patients (106 males, 162 females; mean age 42 years; range 18-79 years) without a calcaneal fracture. On these radiographs, the reference lines were drawn with the use of an angle measurement software with a sensitivity of 1/100 mm and the Böhler (BA) and Gissane (GA) angles were measured.

Unrecognized anterior compartment syndrome following ankle fracture surgery: a case report.

A 35-year-old male sustained a lateral malleolar fracture while playing football. The fracture was treated by open reduction and internal fixation with a tourniquet. The next day, the patient returned with pain and swelling of the ankle and was admitted again to the hospital with a suspected diagnosis of cellulitis.

[An unusual complication after syndesmotic injury: retrotibial heterotopic ossification].

A 27-year-old male patient sustained an isolated syndesmotic injury in the right ankle following a fall. His complaints subsided gradually within the first six weeks of conservative treatment. At the end of the third month, he returned to follow-up with posterior ankle pain.
