Determinant Factors for Ongoing Pregnancy in Homologous Intrauterine Insemination Cycles - A Prospective Study.

Background/aim: Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is the most common assisted-reproduction treatment. However, it has lower success rate in comparison to other treatments. Therefore, determining factors that contribute to IUI success is of particular interest and this was the purpose of this prospective study.

Fracture of the Body of the Hamate With Dorsal Dislocation of the 4 and 5 Metacarpals: A Case Report.

Background: Solitary fractures of the body of the hamate are rare. Their diagnosis is difficult and requires a high clinical suspicion and a proper radiological examination.

Case Report: We present a case of a 36-year-old male patient who sustained an intraarticular fracture of the body of the hamate along with dorsal dislocation of the 4 and 5 metacarpals on his right dominant hand.

Histological comparison of autograft, allograft-DBM, xenograft, and synthetic grafts in a trabecular bone defect: an experimental study in rabbits.

Background: Different types of bone-graft substitutes have been developed and are on the market worldwide to eliminate the drawbacks of autogenous grafting. This experimental animal study was undertaken to evaluate the different histological properties of various bone graft substitutes utilized in this hospital.

Material/methods: Ninety New Zealand white rabbits were divided into six groups of 15 animals.

Minimal internal fixation augmented by small wire transfixion frames for high-energy tibial plateau fractures.

Purpose: To evaluate the outcome of bicondylar tibial plateau fractures treated with minimal internal fixation augmented by small wire external fixation frames and to assess the necessity of bridging the knee joint by extending the external fixation to the distal femur.

Methods: This is a retrospective study of 48 tibial plateau fractures. There were 40 (83.
