To investigate the relation between chondromalacia patella and sulcus angle/trochlear depth ratio as a marker of trochlear morphology. In addition, we also planned to show relationship meniscus damage, subcutaneous adipose tissue thickness obesity, patellar tilt angle patella.Patients with trauma, rheumatologic disease, history knee surgery variations such alba baja were excluded. Magnetic resonance images knees 200 patients evaluated. Trochlear morphology from standardized levels, angle,...

The aim of this study was to examine the role coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) in prevention steroid-induced osteonecrosis femoral head (ONFH) rats.The included 20 Sprague-Dawley rats injected once with mg/kg methylprednisolone acetate into right gluteus medius muscle induce osteonecrosis. Animals were divided two equal groups; Group 1 received no prophylaxis (control group) and 2 CoQ10. Hematological examinations performed before steroid injection (0 weeks) at 4 weeks after injection. Femoral heads...

[Purpose] The aim this study was to assess the relation between bone mineral density (BMD) and mean platelet volume (MPV) in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients, evaluate diagnostic role of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). [Subjects Methods] Fifty patients diagnosed with AS were divided into two groups on basis BMD, a normal group (n=30) an osteopenic (n=20) group. [Results] Duration disease BMD 10.3±7.0 years, while it 16.7±12.2 years osteopenia MPV high group, no...

Patients consulting bone setters is common in the eastern and south-eastern regions of Turkey. The reasons for instead qualified doctors remains unclear. We investigated characteristics such patients who consult traditional after trauma prior to admission hospital.In study, 3,422 14,080 were admitted hospital between January 2012 February 2013 with or sequelae previously treated by setters. these main consultation recorded.Most found be young adults children. Generally speaking, poorly...

Osteoid osteoma, which is observed in the adolescent and young adult population as benign bone tumors, appears a single nidus with diameter < 2 cm treated open surgery. However, technological advances medicine have made it possible to apply less invasive procedures surgery.Between 2006-2014, 24 patients 18 years of age were for osteoid osteoma. Patient demographic data, surgical complications, recurrences noted.Twenty-four (mean age, 11 [2-18] years) followed up mean 3.58 (range, 1-9) years....

Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is the idiopathic avascular necrosis of femoral head in childhood. The pathologic changes seen are likely a result vascular factors. Blood neutrophil to lymphocyte (N/L) ratio simple marker subclinical inflammation. This study aims analyse predictive ability N/L for prognosis LCPD patients.Patients who had been diagnosed as from 2008 2014 were investigated retrospectively and 40 patients (33 male 7 female) 25 healthy age sex-matched children (controls)...

Isovolumic and coronary flow preparations were used to test the action of ouabain on heart its vascular bed. The former preparation has a left ventricle contracting isovolumically against balloon in cavity. In preparation, input is maintained constant with right hypodynamically. Ouabain isovolumic produced an increased flow, augmentation magnitude ventricular contraction cardiac oxygen consumption, diminution extraction. Apparently acts here primarily as dilator other changes appear be...

Purpose . Surgical procedures are likely to be stressful for patients and their families. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a major surgical procedure used in the treatment of osteoarthritis. During this sounds saw hammer may irritate patient adversely affect mood. The present study examines effect these intraoperative during TKA on postoperative mood anxiety, by comparing two different anesthetic procedures. Methods A total 40 who underwent grade IV gonarthrosis participated study. Patients...

The use of intralaminar screws (ILS) in spinal surgery has experienced a recent increase popularity. aim this study is to define the morphological parameters lumbar laminas so that guidance may be defined for ILS placement.The involved evaluation computed tomography (CT) images patients. Two hundred thirty-five patients (127 male, 108 female) were included study. mean patient age was 44.2 years (19-78 years). measured lamina transverse inner diameter, outer diameter (lamina width), length,...

The aim of this study was to compare the effects on tibial alignment use extensor hallucis longus (EHL) tendon with 2nd metatarsal as a reference in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using extramedullary technique.The evaluated 100 postoperative radiographs 79 patients who underwent primary TKA between 2004 and 2008. Patients were grouped according distal anatomical landmark used during surgery. There 36 (mean age: 68.3 years, range: 56 82 years) EHL-referenced (ERT) group 43 70.2 54 78...

A 14-year-old girl presented with idiopathic valgus deformity of her left great toe at the interphalangeal joint (IPJ). The deformity, which had been present but asymptomatic for past 4 years, began to enlarge and cause discomfort. measured IPJ angle on anteroposterior standing X-ray was 26°. We treated by medial closing wedge osteotomy fixation a double compression headless bone screw (DCHBS). Postoperative hallux interphalangeus (HVI) 14°.

Phalangeal fractures of the foot are very rare in children. They treated with closed reduction and splinting. Cases reported non-union children rare. We report on treatment a 4-year-old child proximal phalanx great toe following an open fracture caused by motor vehicle accident 4 months prior. No graft was used. present this case good clinical outcome at 1 year follow-up.

Objective:The aim of the study was to investigate effect different climate and geographic conditions on bone mineral density.Materials Methods: The patients who had been examined with Dual X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) for suspicion osteoporosis in two regions Turkey were included study.Medical records these 2457 evaluated retrospectively.Age, gender, body mass index (BMI) etiology recorded.Results: measurements femoral neck lomber vertebras investigated.927 found be osteoporotic 907...

A 50 year-old patient presented with pain, swelling, purulent discharge, multiple nodules, and deformity of his right hand (Figure 1). His symptoms had begun pain swelling without trauma 16 years ago. He been diagnosed chronic actinomyces osteomyelitis underwent medical therapy surgical debridement in four different incidents. on antibiotics irregularly for 12 years. Deformity was evident, there no active wrist movement; supination pronation were severely restricted. Erythrocyte...
