Effect of Instrumentation Level on Mental Health Subscale of Scoliosis Research Society Outcomes Questionnaire in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis.

Introduction Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) surgery aims to obtain a flexible and stable spine, correct axial rotation and halt curve progression by fusing the least number of motion segments. Longer fusions can improve deformity correction, but late decompensation and lumbar degeneration may occur. Even some daily issues can be problematic in some scoliosis patients.

Alpha-Tocopherol and Cyanocobalamin Combination Accelerates Peripheral Nerve Healing: An Experimental Animal Study.

Aim: To evaluate the functional and histopathological results of alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) and vitamin B12 on an experimental rat model of peripheral nerve injury.

Material And Methods: This research included 32 Wistar Hannover rats. The sciatic nerves of the animals were crushed using an aneurysm clamp.

Can Ellipsoid Sign be One of the Earliest Findings of the Medial Femoral Condyle Chondromalacia of Knee Antero Posterior X-Ray?

Background/purpose Of The Study: Aim of the study was to investigate whether ellipsoid sign (ES) in the region corresponding to the cartilaginous facet of the medial femoral condyle (MFC) indicates early cartilage lesion. The finding has not been defined in the literature yet.

Methods: The study was performed retrospectively with 50 patients who underwent articular cartilage examination and arthroscopy between 2015 and 2018.

Cyanocobalamin and cholecalciferol synergistically improve functional and histopathological nerve healing in experimental rat model.

Background And Purpose: Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is a frequent problem among young adults. Hopefully, regeneration can occur in PNI unlike central nervous system. If nerve cut is complete, gold standard treatment is surgery, but incomplete cuts have been tried to be treated by medicines.

COMPARED EFFICACY OF INTRA-ARTICULAR INJECTION OF METHYLPREDNISOLONE AND TRIAMCINOLONE.

Objective: To compare the effect of two different corticosteroid types in bilateral and symmetrical knee osteoarthritis (OA).

Methods: One hundred and twenty-six patients received injections of methylprednisolone acetate (MP) in one knee and triamcinolone hexacetonide (TH) in the contralateral knee. Patients were evaluated before injection and 2, 4, 8, 12, and 24 weeks after.

An evaluation of meniscus tears in lateral tibial plateau fractures and repair results.

Background: Soft tissue injuries may co-occur with tibial plateau fractures. These injuries may include medial or lateral ligament ruptures, peroneal nerve lesions, anterior cruciate ligament ruptures, and meniscus tears.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of meniscus tears in lateral tibial plateau fractures and to evaluate the clinical and radiological results of meniscus repairs.

Mid term results of Pemberton pericapsular osteotomy.

Background: Treatment for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) varies according to the age of the patient. For children under 3 months, the preferred treatment is Pavlik bandaging and/or dynamic hip orthosis;for children of 3-18 months (with/without arthrography), closed and open reductions (ORs) are most common; and for children 18 months and older, pelvic osteotomies are used. Radiological and functional outcomes of patients between 16 months and 7 years of age who underwent Pemberton pericapsular osteotomy (PPO) were evaluated.
