Cementless rectangular stems yield satisfactory results in osteoporotic bones.

Background: The present study aims to investigate the effects sof osteoporosis on prosthesis survival by comparing the femoral stem survival rates of patients with poor and relatively good bone quality.

Methods: We retrospectively investigated 61 patients with collum femoris fractures who were treated with cementless rectangular stems between 2011 and 2015 in the Orthopaedics and Traumatology Clinic of Taksim Training and Research Hospital. The preoperative pelvic anterior-posterior radiographs of the patients were evaluated.

Serum resolvin D1 levels as a marker of inflammation in constipation dominant irritable bowel syndrome.

Background/aims: The objective of this study is to determine the role of circulating resolvin D1 (RvD1) in patients with constipation subtype of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C) and evaluate the relationship between abdominal pain severity and RvD1 levels.

Materials And Methods: This research included 55 patients with IBS-C and 36 healthy controls. Controls were selected from patients who applied to our department with similar complaints as IBS but were not diagnosed with any type of pathology after further investigations.

The safety and the efficacy of computed tomography guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of osteoid osteoma.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of Computed Tomography (CT) guided percutaneous Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) in the treatment of osteoid osteoma (OO).

Methods: A total of 116 patients (82 male and 34 female patients; mean age of 17.7 years; age range 13-months-42 years) who had 118 CT guided RFA treatment between June 2015 and November 2018 (42 moths) with the diagnosis of OO were included in this study.

Adenoid basal carcinoma combined with invasive squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix: A case report of a 37-year-old woman and literature review.

Adenoid basal carcinoma (ABC) is uncommon malignancy of the uterine cervix and it can be pure or combined with cervical intraepithelial lesions. There were less than 20 cases of ABC combined with invasive squamous carcinoma (mixed type) in English literature. These cases had similar properties as seen at postmenopausal women and diagnosed with abnormal cervical smear findings.

Urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin is associated with preeclampsia in a cohort of Turkish women.

We investigated the optimal cut-off level for urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in preeclamptic patients to confirm the diagnosis. Urinary NGAL concentrations were measured by specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Patients with preeclampsia had significantly higher urinary NGAL concentrations than controls (mean: 387 ng/ml vs.

Pedicle Stress Injury in Children and Adolescents With Low Back Pain.

Study Design: A cross-sectional, retrospective cohort study.

Objective: To examine the prevalence of the pedicle stress injury, spondylolysis in children and adolescents with low back pain. And secondly, to test the hypothesis that these pathologies are associated with lumbar lordosis angle.

Intracranial cystic meningiomas: A series of six patients.

Objective: Although meningiomas are the most common primary non-glial intracranial tumors, cystic meningiomas are quite rare. This study presents six cases in order to discuss the radiological and pathological features of cystic meningiomas.

Patients And Methods: Six patients with cystic meningiomas were included in the study.

Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of Laparoscopic Surgery in Ovarian Endometrioma Cases Treated at a Gynecology Clinic.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to retrospectively investigate the clinical and surgical outcomes of patients diagnosed with ovarian endometrioma in a hospital gynecology clinic and to investigate the safety and efficacy of treatment with laparoscopic surgery.

Methods: The data of 44 patients who were operated on for ovarian endometrioma were analyzed retrospectively.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 30.

Bosworth and modified Phemister techniques revisited. A comparison of intraarticular vs extraarticular fixation methods in the treatment of acute Rockwood type III acromioclavicular dislocations.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the long-term clinical and radiological results of Acromioclavicular (AC) fixation with K-wires (the modified Phemister procedure) and Coracoclavicular (CC) fixation with the Bosworth screw in the surgical treatment of Type 3 AC joint dislocations.

Methods: Thirty-two patients with complete set of medical records and who received surgical treatment between September 2005 and January 2009 due to acute Rockwood Type 3 AC joint dislocation and properly attended their follow-ups were retrospectively evaluated. Sixteen patients (13 males, 3 females; mean age: 38, range: 24-52 years) were treated with CC fixation with Bosworth screw (Group 1), and the other 16 (12 males, 4 females; mean age: 53.

Prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency in children with forearm fractures.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine whether children with distal radius impaction fractures have increased prevalence of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH) D) insufficiency compared with healthy controls.

Patients And Methods: This is a prospective controlled study. The 30 children who were diagnosed with forearm fracture at the orthopaedic emergency clinic were included in the study and 30 healthy children from the routine paediatric outpatient unit were included as the control group.

The importance of great saphenous vein types and segmental aplasia in venous reflux.

Purpose: To investigate the relationship among great saphenous vein (GSV) anatomic type, segmental aplasia, and reflux.

Methods: Color Doppler ultrasonography (CDUS) was performed on 475 legs of 277 consecutive patients with venous symptoms between November 2015 and August 2016. Exclusion criteria were previous venous surgery and venous thrombosis.

The correlation between medial plica and trochlear dysplasis: An MRI study.

Background: Trochlear dysplasia is the most commonly encountered congenital etiologic factor of anterior knee pain.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between trochlear dysplasia with medial patellar plica as well as to investigate the distribution of plica types according to types of dysplasia.

Settings And Design: This is a retrospective case-control study.

Validity and reliability of a Turkish Brief Pain Inventory Short Form when used to evaluate musculoskeletal pain.

Background: The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) is both a questionnaire and an outcome measure that is used widely in clinical trials to assess pain associated with many conditions. The BPI Short Form has been extensively translated into foreign languages. The aim of this study was to assess the validity and reliability of a Turkish Brief Pain Inventory Short Form (BPI-TR) to evaluate musculoskeletal pain.

Intraventricular glioblastoma multiforme: Case report.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor, but pure intraventricular location is extremely rare for GBM in neurosurgical practice. To our knowledge, there are only 19 reported cases to date. We present an additional case of intraventricular GBM with detailed clinical course, radiological and pathological findings.
