Return to sport rate following sports trauma-related delayed bucket-handle meniscus repair with concomitant ACL reconstruction.

Background: Return to sports rate of chronic meniscus repair concurrent with Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction remains unclear, especially there is no well-defined return to sports criteria for evaluation. The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the success rate of chronic locked bucket-handle meniscal tear (BHMT) repair with concomitant ACL reconstruction.

Methods: This study includes 51 chronic ACL injury patients with a locked meniscal tear of at least 6 weeks who underwent surgery.

Comparison of Three Different Approaches in Pediatric Gartland Type 3 Supracondylar Humerus Fractures Treated With Cross-Pinning.

Introduction Although closed reduction and percutaneous pinning are the accepted treatment approaches in pediatric humerus supracondylar fractures, the treatment approach in fractures without closed reduction remains unclear. This study compared the results of three different cross-pinning treatment methods. Materials and methods A total of 62 patients (1-13 years old) who were operated for Gartland type 3 humerus supracondylar fractures between 2007 and 2016 were evaluated retrospectively.

A triplanar osteotomy technique in arthroscopy-assisted ankle mosaicplasty.

Purpose: Osteochondral lesions of the talus are lesions that are seen particularly in the young age group and are often related to sports injuries and trauma. These lesions, which show late symptoms radiologically, can be determined in the early stages with magnetic resonance imaging. The aim of this study was to present a new osteotomy technique to reduce the complications of mosaicplasty surgery to a minimum and provide an early return to work.

Biomechanical properties of ciprofloxacin loaded bone cement.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the biomechanical properties of bone cement used in joint replacement surgery after the addition of ciprofloxacin.

Methods: The first group received bone cement only and served as a control for the 4 groups where 500 mg, 1000 mg, 1500 mg and 2000 mg of ciprofloxacin were added to yield 40 g of bone cement. Axial compression tests were conducted using a 50,000 Newton capacity tension-compression testing device.
