Aponeurotic Expansion as a Cause for Rotator Cuff Tears but Full Joint Movements in Patients: Magnetic Resonance Arthrography Images of Aponeurotic Expansion and the Clinical Situation.

This case report presents the detailed clinical and radiological findings of a 63-year-old male patient who presented with right shoulder pain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance arthrography (MRA) revealed significant tears in most of the rotator cuff muscles. Despite these findings, the patient was able to perform full shoulder movements, suggesting that aponeurotic expansion may play a crucial role in this scenario.

The Characteristics and Outcomes of Contralateral Non-Concurrent Hip Fractures: A Retrospective Study in Geriatric Patients.

: This study aimed to determine the relationship between non-simultaneous contralateral hip fractures, urban and rural differences, fracture localization, time between fractures, physiotherapy applications, comorbidity, and the second fracture outcomes. : We retrospectively analyzed 107 patients aged 65 and older with proximal femur fractures (PFFs) who underwent surgery at Düzce University Medical Faculty between January 2010 and December 2022. High-energy fractures, pathological fractures, and patients with a history of old fractures were excluded.

Investigation of the effects of pentoxifylline and alpha tocopherol treatment on recovery in rats with Achilles tendon rupture.

Although the Achilles tendon is the largest and strongest tendon in the body, healing of the Achilles tendon is the most common injury, and this process is difficult due to poor tendon circulation; moreover, the underlying mechanism has not been fully elucidated. In our study, we aimed to investigate the effects of pentoxifylline and alpha-tocopherol administered separately or in combination on rats with Achilles tendon injury. Forty-eight male Wistar rats weighing 230 ± 30 g were used in the study.

Topical or intravenous administration of tranexamic acid accelerates wound healing.

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to investigate the morphological and histological effects of tranexamic acid (TA) on wound healing in a rat wound model.

Materials And Methods: A total of 24 adult male Wistar Albino rats were used in this study. All rats were simple randomly divided into three groups including eight rats in each group.

Rifaximine spacer application is not superior to local teicoplanin treatment in a rat model of osteomyelitis.

Objective: Acute and chronic osteomyelitis generally require long-term antibiotic therapy and surgical debridement. Implant-associated osteomyelitis, particularly from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strains, is difficult to treat. Rifaximin is an antibiotic derived from rifamycin which may be effective in the treatment of osteomyelitis in terms of its wide spectrum of action and pharmacological properties.

Effects of hypertonic saline replacement on colonic anastomosis in experimental hemorrhagic shock model in rats.

Background: Inadequate intestinal perfusion resulting from hemorrhagic shock negatively affects wound healing. In this experimental study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of resuscitation with hypertonic saline on colonic anastomosis in rats with controlled hemorrhagic shock.

Methods: A total of 24 male Wistar albino rats weighing between 200 and 250 g were used in this study.

Systemic tranexamic acid promotes bone healing in a rat model of femur fracture.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effect of tranexamic acid (TXA) on the union of closed femoral fractures using radiological and histological methods in an experimental rat model.

Materials And Methods: This experimental study was conducted between June 2017 and February 2018. Closed femoral fractures were created in 36 male Wistar albino rats (age: three months [range, 2.

Evaluation of the Clinical Efficacy of Using Thermal Camera for Cryotherapy in Patients with Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Prospective Study.

Cryotherapy is a method of treatment using cold application. This study aimed to evaluate postoperative clinical and hematological parameters and pain associated with total knee arthroplasty in patients and compared cryotherapy to the conventional method of cold ice pack compressions. Between January 2015 and January 2016, 90 patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty for grade 4 gonarthrosis were prospectively evaluated.

Clinical and functional outcomes of a novel transosseous device to treat rotator cuff tears: A minimum 2-year follow-up.

Purpose: Despite the improvements in the repair equipment techniques of rotator cuff, a gold standard method has not been defined yet and transosseous fixation through deltoid-splitting (mini-open) approach is still regarded as a good option. The primary purpose of this study is to present satisfactory clinical and functional outcomes with a novel transosseous device in full-thickness rotator cuff tear through deltoid-splitting.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study was performed on 70 consecutive patients who underwent surgery by a single surgeon from June 2014 to June 2016 for a full-thickness rotator cuff tear and was managed with a novel transosseous device.

Evaluation of the age and gender related changes in the Blumensaat line.

Purpose: The position of the patella according to the femur is very important in the evaluation of patella-femoral joint disorders. In 1938, Blumensaat (BS) described the BS line to evaluate the patella femoral congruence. This method is still valuable in clinical use.

Comparison of Two Different Approaches to Treat a Hallux Valgus Deformity: Intramedullary Self-Locked Plates and Herbert Screws.

Hallux valgus is a complex deformity of the first metatarsophalangeal joint characterized by varus deformity of the first metatarsal bone, valgus deformity of the big toe, and lateral deviation of the extensor tendons and sesamoid bones. Several surgical methods have been described for correction of the deformity. Different materials have been used for the fixation of osteotomy.

Chondroprotective effect of oil in the early stages of osteoarthritis: an experimental study in rabbits.

Purpose: oil possesses a well-known ability to protect certain organs from oxidative, neoplastic, and inflammatory damage. This study investigated the potential chondroprotective effects of intraarticular injections of oil in a rabbit osteoarthritis model.

Methods: Osteoarthritis models were created by performing anterior cruciate ligament transections in 20 New Zealand rabbits.

Temporary Fixation of Reduction with Fabric Adhesive Bandage in the Surgical Treatment of Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fractures.

: Supracondylar humerus fractures are common in children andcan be surgically treated. However, the general surgical procedures involving reduction andfixation might lead to reduction loss, failure to direct the Kirschner (K)-wire toward the desiredposition, prolonged surgery, or chondral damage. This study aimed to show that temporaryfixation of closed reduction with a fabric adhesive bandage in pediatric supracondylar humerusfractures could maintain reduction so that surgical treatment can be easily performed by a singlephysician.
