Effect of the low-intensity pulsed ultrasound therapy on healing of Achilles tendinopathy in a rat model.

Objective:  This study aimed to investigate the effect of the low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on the healing of Achilles tendinopathy in a rat model induced by type 1 collagenase.

Methods:  The study was conducted on 144 Achilles tendons of 72 Wistar albino female rats with typical activity and weighing 300-350 g. The model of Achilles tendinopathy was created by injecting type 1 collagenase.

Treatment of adult isolated ulnar diaphyseal fractures: A comparison of new-generation locked intramedullary nail and plate fixation.

Objectives: This study aims to compare the radiological and functional results of adult patients with isolated ulnar diaphyseal fractures treated with plate and new-generation locked intramedullary nail (IMN).

Patients And Methods: The study included 57 patients (38 males, 19 females; mean age 39.1 years; range, 18 to 77 years) with isolated ulnar diaphyseal fractures treated with IMN or plate fixation between January 2008 and December 2017.

Comparison of new design locked intramedullary nails and plate osteosynthesis in adult isolated diaphyseal radius fractures.

Purpose: In this study, we retrospectively evaluated patients with isolated diaphyseal radius fractures treated with plates or IMNs and compared their radiological and functional results.

Methods: 49 patients who met the criteria were included in the study. Of these, 22 were treated with plate osteosynthesis and 27 with IMNs.

A novel intramedullary nail for use in the treatment of supramalleolar malunion and nonunion: A preliminary report of three cases.

Introduction: The fractures around the supramalleolar region are difficult to manage and deformities may occur following insufficient or inadequate treatment attempts. The treatment of those deformities is even more challenging. The available options for surgical fixation have inherent problems considering the soft tissue problems, infection and compliance of the patients.

Is internal fixation of the intertrochanteric fractures reliable option in patients with cognitive dysfunction?

The purpose of this study was to compare the results of hemiarthroplasty with those of treatment internal fixation devices for stable intertrochanteric fractures in patients with moderate and severe cognitive dysfunction. 155 patients were evaluated retrospectively. 54 patients were treated with proximal femoral nail (PFN), 57 with dynamic hip screw (DHS) and 44 were underwent hemiarthroplasty (HA).
