Arthroscopy-assisted procedure provides less residual horizontal instability and optimal coracoid tunnel creation with less radiation exposure compared to percutaneous procedure after endo-button fixation of type III AC joint dislocations.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the postoperative radiological and functional results of patients treated with arthroscopy-assisted (AA) and percutaneous (P) procedures using endo-button for type III acromioclavicular joint dislocations with a minimum 1-year follow-up. The study hypothesis was that the AA technique would provide more favourable coracoid tunnels.

Methods: This retrospective study included patients who underwent surgery between 2017 and 2022.

Patellar Lateralization, Absence of Joint Hypermobility, and the Mechanism of Injury Are Associated With Osteochondral Fracture After First-time Acute Lateral Patellar Dislocation in Adolescents: An MRI-based Evaluation.

Background: Although the risk factors for patellofemoral dislocation are clearly defined, risk factors for osteochondral fracture (OCF) after patellar dislocation are not as well defined. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors for OCF by evaluating patients with and without OCF after first-time acute patellar dislocation.

Methods: This multicenter study was conducted as a retrospective examination of the radiologic measurements on the magnetic resonance imaging of 306 patients.

E-scooter-related orthopedic injuries and the treatments applied: are these scooters a new means of transportation or a new source of trauma?

Introduction: E-scooters have become increasingly popular in Turkey due to easy accessibility. In parallel with this, the number of e-scooter-related injuries has increased gradually. The aim of this study was to determine the types of e-scooter-related orthopedic injuries, to evaluate hospitalization and surgical treatments, and to investigate the loss of work of patients and the burden incurred by the healthcare system.

Does radiation exposure during pediatric supracondylar humeral fracture surgery change according to the C-arm position? A comparison of two different techniques.

Introduction: In the surgical treatment of supracondylar humeral fractures (SHF), the surgeon has to stand right next to the fluoroscopy device, so it is very important to know how to use it in the most appropriate way to reduce radiation exposure. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of using C-arm in uniplanar (inverted) and biplanar (standard-horizontal) configurations on (1) the radiation exposure to the surgeon, and (2) surgical time and fluoroscopy exposure time.

Material And Methods: This prospective randomised study was conducted on 20 patients who underwent fluoroscopy during closed reduction and percutaneous pinning for a SHF.

Foot and Ankle Forklift Injuries; Diagnosis to Treatment Options, Return to Work and Functional Outcomes.

As our tertiary-level trauma center is close to an industrial zone and associated international port, industrial injuries are seen more often than is expected in routine practice. The aim of this study was to present the demographic data, treatment options, and changes in work-life of patients with foot and ankle injuries due to a forklift accident, and to determine the factors affecting the clinical outcome. The study was conducted in our university hospital and included patients who presented with a foot and ankle injury resulting from a forklift accident.

Does COVID-19 vaccine exacerbate rotator cuff symptoms? A prospective study.

Background: Shoulder injury related to vaccine administration (SIRVA) is a rare but increasing complication after vaccination. The aim of this study was to increase awareness of post-vaccination shoulder pain and to investigate the effect of the clinical condition of the shoulder before vaccination on the loss of function that may occur after vaccination.

Methods: This prospective study included 65 patients aged > 18 years who were diagnosed with unilateral shoulder impingement and/or bursitis.

What is the best treatment for syndesmosis fixation? Suture-button or syndesmotic screw ? Bilateral CT-based early postoperative analysis.

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of syndesmotic screw (SS) and suture button (SB) on the reduction and fixation of syndesmosis via early postoperative bilateral computed tomography (CT).

Methods: This single-center retrospective study included 76 patients aged ≥ 18 years with a unilateral syndesmosis injury. SS was applied to 40 patients and SB to 36 patients.

Dorsal or Lateral Approach for Intramedullary Nailing Using Kirschner Wire in Pediatric Radius Diaphyseal Fractures: Does it really matter?

Background: Intramedullary nailing is the most preferred fixation method for diaphyseal radius and ulna fractures in the young age group. The aim of this study was to compare the dorsal and lateral entry points in the context of entry site-related complications, fracture union and functional results.

Methods: This retrospective comparative study included pediatric patients who underwent surgery for isolated diaphyseal radius or both bone forearm fractures with intramedullary nailing using Kirschner wire between January 2013 and January 2019.

Implant survival and functional results of endoprosthetic reconstruction for proximal femoral metastases with pathological fractures.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the patient and implant survival, clinical and functional outcomes, and the rate of complications resulting in reconstruction failure following endoprosthetic reconstruction (EPR) of extensive proximal femoral metastases associated with actual or impending pathological fractures.

Methods: A total of 111 patients with actual or impending pathological fractures due to metastatic disease of the proximal femur were treated with EPR between 2003 and 2018. Staged surgery, bilateral EPR, was performed in 3 cases.

Effect of rotational deformities after pediatric femoral fracture on clinical outcome.

Femoral shaft fractures are the most common pediatric injuries that require hospitalization. Early closed reduction and spica casting are one of the most popular treatment options. One of the significant complications of spica casting is rotational deformities of the fracture.

Spinal osteotomies: indications, limits and pitfalls.

The aims of spinal deformity surgery are to achieve balance, relieve pain and prevent recurrence or worsening of the deformity.The main types of osteotomies are the Smith-Petersen osteotomy (SPO), pedicle subtraction osteotomy (PSO), bone-disc-bone osteotomy (BDBO) and vertebral column resection (VCR), in order of increasing complexity.SPO is a posterior column osteotomy in which the posterior ligaments and the facet joints are removed and correction is performed through the disc space.
