The aim of this study was to describe our experiences with arthroscopy-guided intra-articular button fixation in the treatment displaced tibial eminence fractures skeletally immature children. Eleven adolescent patients an average age 12.2 years were treated arthroscopically between January 2005 and February 2007. At follow-up evaluation at 69 months, we did not find any instability. Only minimal differences found functional outcomes (Lysholm International Knee Documentation Committee...

OBJECTIVES: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder with unknown etiology. RA characterized by variable course of remissions and relapses, subclinical inflammation persists between the disease exacerbations. Anti-TNF therapies have become more often preferred in recent years treatment RA. The aim present study was to determine relationship N/L P/L ratios patients who achieved remission anti-TNF therapy. METHODS: retrospective, controlled multicenter study. reviewed...

Open surgical repairs of Achilles tendon ruptures may result in local wound healing problems. Various minimally invasive and percutaneous approaches have been defined to overcome this problem they are being used with increasing frequency. We describing a new technique called “internal splinting” that enables strong repair maintains the tissue at site injury. applied both mid-substance distal ruptures, we combined best features open techniques, including use larger diameter suture typically...

A cadaver study aims to determine the mechanisms of medial pedicle wall violation after a correct cannulation pedicle. The presents finding out effect insertion angle and force on violation. We used 100 lumbar pedicles cadavers. Special wooden blocks were produced simulate fixed fault cannulation. Pedicles divided into 4 groups: 10-degree free drive (group 10), 15-degree 15), push 10P), 15P). After screws, laminectomies done evaluated from inside. Pedicle complications more in group 10P than...

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of intramedullary fixation using Kirschner-wire (K-wire) compared to titanium elastic nail (TEN) in pediatric femoral shaft fractures. Methods: A sample 42 patients with a mean age 6.55±2.42 years (range 4-11 years) presenting fractures underwent K-wire or TEN. Results: There was no significant difference found between groups, which 16 (38.1%) were treated and 26 (61.9%) TEN terms union duration. Moreover, none showed nonunion delayed union....

Ganglion cysts generally form after repeated microtrauma to the dorsum of wrist. They are gel-filled cystic formations that may be rooted in joint capsule, tendon, or tendon sheath. shoulder and acromioclavicular rare. We report a patient who presented with pain right shoulder, was diagnosed atypical localization ganglion cyst clinical radiological investigation. Post-operatively, histopathology confirmed diagnosis. The case is along surgical results.

Proteus syndrome (PS) was first described as a clinical entity by Cohen and Hayden [1] in two patients 1979.Dietrich et al. [2] titled the disease, which has multiple, diverse, somatic manifestations, Greek god Proteus, who could change his form at will.PS is complex hamartomatous disorder involving skeletal system, skin, soft tissues, vascular system.PS an exceptionally rare overdiagnosed of mosaic growth dysregulatıon [3,4].The characteristic signs include partial gigantism hands and/or...

Objective: This study was designed to evaluate anatomical and functional results of closed reduction-long arm cast treatment for distal radius fractures compared other healthy wrist in the adults. Methods: 77 patients with fracture were treated conservatively between January 2010 December 2010. The classified according AO Frykman classification system investigated prospectively. radiological assessed by Stewart score criteria. Quick-Disability Arm, Shoulder Hand questionnaire (Q-DASH) II...

Abstract Although skin necrosis following total knee arthroplasty or revision is rare, it may cause severe complications. Skin changes begin with superficial infections and result in removal of the prosthesis. Treatment an important factor, which determines prognosis Several techniques have been defined for sufficient closure. In this article, we present case a patient who was treated that developed after arthroplasty, using serial debridement, convergence sutures intermittent...

To postoperatively evaluate knee scores, radiological assessment results, deficit correction, patellar height change, bone healing time, and weight bearing time in patients undergoing high tibial osteotomy (HTO) with/without autologous iliac grafting.This retrospective examination of treated controls from a randomized controlled study included 63 knees 58 aged 46-59 years who underwent HTO with locking open wedge plates. The were divided into two groups: Group A, grafts (n = 31); B, without...
