Background: Hip arthroscopy (HA) procedures have continued to increase worldwide. However, no data are currently available regarding the increasing HA case volume and trends in Turkey.
Purpose: To identify trends in postoperative care habits and incidence of HA in Turkey using data from the national Health Coding Reference Server (SKRS) database.
Three computed tomography (CT)-based classifications, including Haraguchi, Bartoníček-Rammelt, and Mason-Molloy systems, have been developed to better determine the characteristics of posterior malleolus fractures (PMFs). The aims of this study were (1) to determine the intra- and inter-observer reliability of the computed tomography-based classification systems and (2) to investigate the clinical experience and expertise on their reliabilities. Sixty-seven preoperative ankle CT scans of 67 adult patients with "ankle fracture with the involvement of the posterior malleolus"'' were retrospectively identified.

The most common indication for hip arthroscopy is femoroacetabular impingement, which is increasing due to improved awareness and knowledge of the condition among healthcare professionals. Hip arthroscopy requires many different checkpoints from patient positioning to capsule closure to be successfully completed.

- This study reviews the outcomes of repairing the long head of the biceps tendon alongside rotator cuff repairs, analyzing whether it's better to perform tenodesis in the subpectoral or suprapectoral area.
- A total of 13 studies were analyzed, revealing similar postoperative scores for both tenodesis locations, but with different complication rates: transient nerve injuries were more common with subpectoral tenodesis, while suprapectoral tenodesis was associated with persistent pain and "Popeye deformity."
- The findings suggest that both approaches yield similar effectiveness, but the choice of location may influence the type and frequency of complications encountered post-surgery.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients with recurrent or neglected pes equinovarus (PEV), who underwent talonavicular or calcaneocuboid arthrodesis with a hexapod spider frame.
Methods: The study included 18 patients; a total of 25 feet were treated with dual arthrodesis and a hexapod spider frame. The International Club Foot Study Group (ICFSG) scoring system and visual analog scale (VAS) were used to assess preoperative status and postoperative outcomes.
Objective: Treatment of isolated retropatellar cartilage defects using current gel-type regenerative methods requires settlement of the gel to the underlying subchondral bone under gravity; thus, prone positioned arthroscopy is used.
Indications: Isolated retropatellar contained cartilage defect size >2.5 cm.
