The effect of 2 different surgical methods on intracompartmental pressure value in tibial shaft fracture: An experimental study in a rabbit model.

Background: Intracompartmental pressure (ICP) monitoring is a widely used modality, particularly after intramedullary nailing of tibial shaft fractures. It was hypothesized that ICP value in fracture fixed with Ilizarov circular fixator (ICF) might be lower than in fracture fixed with intramedullary pin (IMP). The present study is a comparison of ICP value in tibial fractures in a rabbit model fixed with ICF and IMP.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes, and complication rates, after a minimum of five years of follow-up after medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) using an Anthony-K plate.

Methods: MOWHTO was performed on 35 knees of 34 consecutive patients. A visual analogue scale (VAS), and Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) and Lysholm scores, were used in clinical evaluation.

Effects of salmon calcitonin treatment on serum and synovial fluid bone formation and resorption markers in osteoporosis patients.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of salmon calcitonin, and calcium and vitamin D treatment on bone mineral density, serum and synovial fluid bone formation and resorption markers in patients with osteoporosis.

Methods: The study was completed with twenty-five osteoporosis patients divided into two groups: The 15 patients comprising Group I (1 male and 14 females; mean age: 67.0±12.

Peroneal nerve palsy secondary to prolonged squatting in seasonal farmworkers.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the follow-up and treatment results of peroneal nerve palsy secondary to prolonged squatting for working and to determine an approach for its treatment and prevention.

Methods: The study retrospectively evaluated 16 patients (7 males, 9 females; mean age: 23.6 years) diagnosed with peroneal nerve palsy due to squatting for work.

The effect of extracorporeal shockwaves on cartilage end-plates in rabbits: a preliminary MRI and histopathological study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the changes in the lumbar intervertebral area after extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) at different energy levels in a rabbit model using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histopathological evaluation.

Methods: The study included 30 male New Zealand white rabbits divided randomly into five groups: Groups A and C received 1,000 shockwave impulses at an intensity of 14 kV, Groups B and D received 1,000 impulses at 21 kV, and Group E was a sham group. Side effects such as subcutaneous and paravertebral soft-tissue injuries were evaluated using MRI one day after ESWT administration.

Bioelectrical impedance analysis of basal metabolic rate and body composition of patients with femoral neck fractures versus controls.

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to compare basal metabolic rate and body composition in patients with femoral neck fractures and controls.

Patients And Methods: Sixty-eight consecutive patients with femoral neck fractures (36 males, 32 females; mean age 73.9 ± 7.

Patelloplasty with patellar decompression to relieve anterior knee pain in total knee arthroplasty.

Objective: Anterior knee pain continues to be an important problem following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The aim of this study was to present the early results of patelloplasty with patellar decompression to relieve anterior knee pain in patients who undergo TKA.

Methods: We prospectively reviewed 49 knees from 46 patients (35 females, 11 males; mean age: 69.

Femoral segment graft is a suitable alternative to stabilize pelvic osteotomies in developmental dysplasia of the hip: a comparative study.

The aim of this study was to compare bone healing in pelvic osteotomy patients with osteotomy gaps filled with a femoral segment resected (FSR) graft with bone healing in patients with an iliac tricortical autograft (ITA) in treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip. Sixty-three hips were treated using FSR grafts. Sixty-one hips were treated using ITA.

The use of Ender nail in intertrochanteric fractures supported with external fixation.

Background: Intramedullary Ender nailing in intertrochanteric fractures was very popular in the past. However, this method has fallen in favor over time, due to complications. The purpose of this study was to evaluate results with this method and possible ways to prevent these complications, including the use of unilateral fixators to support the Ender nails.

Mini-open versus closed reduction in titanium elastic nailing of paediatric femoral shaft fractures: a comparative study.

The purpose of this study is to compare retrospectively intraoperative fluoroscopy time and clinical-radiological results in pediatric femoral shaft fractures treated with titanium elastic nailing (TEN), with a mini-open "blind-hand" technique versus closed reduction. The study included 87 children (18 girls and 69 boys) who underwent surgical treatment with TEN for femoral shaft fractures. Patients were divided into two groups.

Ultrasonographic examination of the radial and ulnar nerves after percutaneous cross-wiring of supracondylar humerus fractures in children: a prospective, randomized controlled study.

In this prospective study, we aimed to find out whether there is a change in the ultrasonographic features of the radial and ulnar nerves as well as clinical outcomes after traditional and lateral percutaneous cross-wiring of the supracondylar humerus fractures in children. Twenty-nine consecutive children with completely displaced Gartland type III supracondylar humerus fractures were treated with the traditional (group T) or lateral (group L) cross-wiring technique. Our findings showed that ultrasonographic features of the radial nerve were not changed in both groups but the ulnar nerve movement was reduced, and the diameter of major axis of the ulnar nerve during elbow flexion was larger (P=0.

Serum prolidase activity and oxidative-antioxidative status in Legg-Calve-Perthes disease.

We aimed to find out that whether collagen turnover is altered in the context of Legg-Calve-Perthes disease (LCPD) by evaluating serum prolidase activity. We also investigated the correlation between collagen turnover and oxidative-antioxidative status in LCPD. Plasma prolidase activity, total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant capacity, and oxidative stress index (OSI) were determined for 39 patients with LCPD and 40 healthy controls.
