In a prospective randomized study of lateral epicondylitis, 120 patients were treated with 2 mL lidocaine (Group A, n=60) or 1 combined triamcinolone B, n=60). All injections done using the peppering technique: after inserting needle tender area was peppered 40 to 50 by injecting, withdrawing, redirecting, and reinserting without emerging from skin. followed up for year. Fifty-six in Group A 57 B had excellent results. There statistically no difference between groups. Both groups results...

Abstract: Flexible flatfoot is a common deformity in pediatric and adult populations. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the functional radiographic results of subtalar arthroereisis patients with symptomatic flexible flatfoot. We included 26 feet 16 who underwent for Radiographic examination calcaneal inclination angle, lateral talocalcaneal Meary's anteroposterior talonavicular Kite's angle. The clinical assessment was based on American Orthopaedic Foot Ankle Society (AOFAS) hindfoot...

Kirschner wire (K-wire) is one of the commonly used implants in orthopaedics practice. Migration most frequently reported complications after fixation by K-wire. In particular, it has been that a greater range motion shoulder, negative intrathoracic pressure associated with respiration, gravitational force, and muscular activities may cause migration from upper extremities. general, thin long foreign bodies smooth surfaces are localized within tendon sheath at an extremity can migrate more...

We compared the results of radiofrequency thermal lesioning (RTL) and extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) in patients with chronic plantar fasciitis. This prospective study included 56 diagnosed fasciitis who had complaints for ≥6 months: 40 (group 1) underwent ESWT 16 2) RTL. The presence calcaneal spurs was investigated imaging studies. All were followed up clinically at baseline 1, 3, 6 months after treatment. Clinical evaluations performed by visual analog scale (VAS) modified...

Abstract Background The aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency flexor pollicis longus (FPL) tendon rupture and factors leading during follow-up patients who underwent volar plate fixation because distal radius fracture. Patients Methods A total 109 fractures 102 treated with periodically followed up for at least 1 year between January 2013 May 2018 were evaluated. Fractures categorized according AO Foundation/Orthopaedic Trauma Association (AO/OTA) Fracture-Dislocation Classification...

Background: There is no study comparing how Weber type C ankle fractures treated with either three- or four-cortex syndesmotic fixation affects the structure of syndesmosis. Methods: In a retrospective study, 46 patients were separated into two groups: 22 three-cortex and 24 fixation. All evaluated clinically radiographically at least 1 year after removal syndesmosis screws. Results: three types joint space obliteration: 1, synostosis on plain radiographs; 2, an incomplete bony bridge...

Hallux valgus is a common disorder affecting mostly women population. Distal soft tissue procedure in the treatment of hallux one main operative techniques described. The aim this study to evaluate outcomes McBride's distal cases.This includes 30 patients (27 women) having 31 valgus, who were treated between 1999 and 2004. Modified was carried out all cases. Pain status cases recorded by using VAS, clinical assessment described Bonney Macnab, American Orthopaedic Foot Ankle Society's (AOFAS)...

BACKGROUND An ingrown toenail is a common, painful, and debilitating condition. OBJECTIVE This study aims to compare 2 surgical methods (partial matricectomy with curettage electrocautery) in the treatment of toenails. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total 92 nails big toe 86 patients underwent partial curettage, whereas 57 52 electrocautery. RESULTS Recurrence was observed toenails group, no recurrence electrocautery group (p > .05). The mean period postoperative pain 2.3 3.1 days respectively <...

][3][4] Serious intra-articular damage and soft tissue injury or inappropriate treatment can lead to postoperative complications such as infection, skin necrosis, nonunion, deformity, arthrosis in tibial plateau fractures. 1,5,6)4][5][6][7][8] The bilateral open reduction internal fixation technique have been favored by the Association for Osteosynthesis/Association Study of Internal Fixation. 3)However, plating may require excessive dissection through injured tissue, leading wound...

Osteopenia and osteoporosis are the two most common musculoskeletal disorders in elderly population. We determined whether osteopenic osteoporotic patients with fractures exhibit differences trabecular morphology biomechanical properties of bone.Fourteen 28 hip who underwent hemiarthroplasty for proximal femoral caused by low-energy injury were included. Bone mineral density (BMD) measurements performed. Compression tests high-resolution micro-computed tomography used to assess cancellous...
