Is YouTube a Reliable and Quality Source on Unilateral Biportal Endoscopic Spine Surgery? A Cross-Sectional Study.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the quality and reliability of YouTube videos focusing on unilateral biportal endoscopic spine surgery, a novel technique for spinal decompression in degenerative spinal disease.

Methods: This cross-sectional study, conducted in February 2023, involved an online search on YouTube using the term "unilateral biportal endoscopic spine surgery". Video popularity was assessed using the Video Power Index.

An overview of the orthopedic patient profile in the first five days following February 6th, 2023 Kahramanmaras earthquake: A single-center experience in the earthquake zone.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the patient profile at a medium-volume hospital located in the earthquake zone among patients who received orthopedic treatment within the first five days after the natural disaster that was considered a major earthquake.

Patients And Methods: Between February 6, 2023 and February 10, 2023, a total of 338 patients (156 males, 182 females; mean age: 42.2±9.

Intra- and inter-observer reliability of Dias-Tachdjian classification in pediatric ankle fractures: do clinical experience and expertise matter?

The Dias-Tachdjian classification is the most commonly used system for the classification of pediatric ankle fractures, but its inter- and intra-observer reliability has not been studied in detail. Also, the impact of the clinician's experience and expertise on the reliability of this system is unknown. This study aimed: (1) to determine the intra- and inter-observer reliability of the Dias-Tachdjian classification and (2) to investigate the effect of the clinician's experience and expertise on the reliability of this system.

Anatomical bone structure differences in patients with hemophilic arthropathy of the knee.

Objectives: The anatomical differences of the bony structure of the knee joint in patients with hemophilia were evaluated, and the results were compared with the knees of patients with primary gonarthrosis and no arthrosis.

Material And Methods: This study reviewed 41 knees in 21 patients (with an Arnold-Hilgartner classification of Stages 4 and 5 hemophilic arthropathy) who underwent total knee arthroplasty in single center. Two control groups including 21 asymptomatic patients (42 knees) and 21 primary knee osteoarthritis patients (42 knees) were formed to compare the measurements with hemophiliacs.

Which inflammatory marker is more reliable in diagnosing acute septic arthritis in the pediatric population?

Background: The present study aimed to investigate diagnostic values of C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell (WBC), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and the platelet to lymphocyte ratio as possible indirect inflammatory markers in children with septic arthritis (SA) for diagnosis process.

Methods: The medical records of pediatric patients with SA who underwent debridement surgery between February 2005 and November 2018 were obtained from the hospital records. A total of 59 children with SA and 60 age- and gender-matched healthy controls were enrolled in the study.

Prognostic factors affecting survival of patients with intertrochanteric femoral fractures over 90 years treated with proximal femoral nailing.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the prognostic factors affecting the survival of patients over 90 years with intertrochanteric fractures treated with proximal femoral nailing.

Materials: Records of 53 patients over 90 years old treated in our clinic between 2009 and 2018 for intertrochanteric fractures with proximal femoral nailing were retrospectively reviewed. Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were analyzed for validity as prognostic factors.
