High accuracy but limited readability of large language model-generated responses to frequently asked questions about Kienböck's disease.

Background: This study aimed to assess the quality and readability of large language model-generated responses to frequently asked questions (FAQs) about Kienböck's disease (KD).

Methods: Nineteen FAQs about KD were selected, and the questions were divided into three categories: general knowledge, diagnosis, and treatment. The questions were inputted into the Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer 4 (ChatGPT4) webpage using the zero-shot prompting method, and the responses were recorded.

The place of B-mode ultrasonography, shear-wave elastography, and superb microvascular imaging in the diagnosis of De Quervain tenosynovitis.

Purpose: Superb microvascular imaging (SMI) and Shear wave elastography (SWE) are newly developed ultrasonographic diagnostic tools used to support the diagnosis of De Quervain tenosynovitis (DQT). The aim of this study was to examine the capacity to differentiate between the wrist with DQT and the healthy wrist, as well as the potential for predicting the disease's severity using B-mode ultrasonography, SWE, and SMI.

Methods: A total of 19 cases with unilateral clinical DQT were included in the prospective study.

First 10 days after the 6th of February 2023 earthquake disaster: experience of an orthopedic clinic on the border of the disaster zone.

Background: The earthquake disaster that occurred on February 06, 2023, caused serious destruction and loss of life in the south of Türkiye. The purpose of this article consisting of two interconnected parts is to report the experience of our orthopedics clinic, which is located just on the border of the disaster area. The subject of the first part of the study is the characteristics of ortho-pedic traumas in earthquake victims and the treatment methods applied.

Factors affecting functional outcomes after surgery to repair extensive volar forearm lacerations with nerve injuries identified via quantitative and qualitative methods.

Objectives: We aimed to investigate factors affecting the functional outcomes of patients with extensive volar forearm lacerations combined with nerve injuries who underwent surgery.

Patients And Methods: Between January 2012 and December 2018, a total of 71 patients (58 males, 13 females; mean age: 41±12.1 years; range, 20 to 66 years) with extensive volar forearm lacerations treated in our center were retrospectively analyzed.

Changes in patient admission patterns at orthopedics and traumatology outpatient clinics before and after the earthquakes on 6 February 2023 in Turkey.

Background: The increase in orthopedic injuries after earthquakes imposes a significant burden on the health system. However, the impact of earthquakes on outpatient admissions remains unclear. This study compared patient admissions to the orthopedics and traumatology outpatient clinics before and after earthquakes.

Technical aspects that may affect the outcomes of pediatric patients with both-bone forearm diaphyseal fractures treated using elastic stable intramedullary nails.

We assessed the radiological and functional results of pediatric both-bone forearm diaphyseal fractures treated using elastic stable intramedullary nails (ESINs), as well as factors affecting the results. In total, 36 patients (33 males and three females; mean age, 11.6 years) were included.

Silver ion-doped calcium phosphate-based bone-graft substitute eliminates chronic osteomyelitis: An experimental study in animals.

Despite the latest technologies and advances in microbiology and orthopedic surgery, chronic osteomyelitis is still a challenging disorder. Antibiotic resistance and bacterially induced bone destruction can have very serious consequences. We hypothesized that calcium phosphate-based bone graft substitution with silver ion doping would simultaneously treat bone infection and the bony defect in the chronic osteomyelitis.

Open reduction and internal fixation in AO type C distal humeral fractures using olecranon osteotomy: Functional and clinical results.

Background: To investigate the outcomes of patients undergoing open reduction and internal fixation with olecranon osteotomy due to AO type13C fractures of the distal humerus.

Methods: Data of 39 patients (mean age, 44.7 years; males, 56.

Effects of intravenous small dose ketamine and midazolam on postoperative pain following knee arthroscopy.

Background: The aim of this randomized, double blind, controlled study was to assess the effect of intravenous coadministration of small dose midazolam with ketamine on postoperative pain and spinal block level.

Methods: Sixty patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery under spinal anesthesia were randomized into three groups: Group I (saline control); group II (ketamine 0.15 mg/kg i.

Comparison of recovery characteristics, postoperative nausea and vomiting, and gastrointestinal motility with total intravenous anesthesia with propofol versus inhalation anesthesia with desflurane for laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A randomized controlled study.

Background: Clinical effects, recovery characteristics, and costs of total intravenous anesthesia with different inhalational anesthetics have been investigated and compared; however, there are no reported clinical studies focusing on the effects of anesthesia with propofol and desflurane in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of total intravenous anesthesia with propofol and alfentanil compared with those of desflurane and alfentanil on recovery characteristics, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), duration of hospitalization, and gastrointestinal motility.

Methods: Patients classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I or II undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy due to benign gallbladder disease were enrolled in the study.
