Metatarsal Lengthening With Monolateral External Fixator Using Intramedullary Kirschner Wire in Brachymetatarsia Surgery.

Brachymetatarsia is characterized by the parabola formed through the articulation of the metatarsophalangeal joints of the toes. It is defined as the termination of one or more metatarsals at least 5 mm proximal to this parabola, most commonly affecting the fourth metatarsal. Surgical interventions for brachymetatarsia include osteotomy followed by either acute distraction with grafting or gradual lengthening via distraction osteogenesis.

Does femoral tunnel location have an effect on functional and clinical results in medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction?

Background/aim: Multiple reconstruction techniques have been described to mimic the normal anatomy and physiology of medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction. The success of MPFL reconstruction depends on various factors such as graft selection, the location of the patellar tunnel and femoral tunnel (FT), and graft fixation methods. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between FT location and functional and clinical outcomes after MPFL reconstruction.

Effect of the presence of cysts in the hip joint on hip arthroscopy.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the presence and size of fibrous cysts affected postoperative results in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy.

Patients And Methods: Between January 2010 and December 2019, a total of 261 patients (138 males, 123 females; mean age: 39.5±11.

The diagnosis of femoroacetabular impingement can be made on pelvis radiographs using deep learning methods.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate diagnostic ability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural network models used for image classification, for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) using hip radiographs.

Materials And Methods: Between January 2010 and December 2020, pelvic radiographs of a total of 516 patients (270 males, 246 females; mean age: 39.1±3.

YouTube provides low-quality videos about talus osteochondral lesions and their arthroscopic treatment.

Background: Medical professionals and patients commonly use the YouTubeTM platform in their research on health information. The quality of videos about talus osteochondral defect (OCD) and arthroscopic surgery has not been evaluated previously. The aim of this study was to interpret the quality and sufficiency of YouTubeTM videos about talus OCD and arthroscopic surgery.

The effect of comorbid factors and amputation level on mortality in geriatric patients with diabetic foot.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors that influenced one-year and five-year mortality and to compare major and minor amputations in diabetic patients with comorbidities.

Patients And Methods: Between February 2008 and November 2014, a total of 201 type 2 diabetic foot patients (147 males, 54 females; median age: 65.99 years; range, 50 to 92 years) who underwent amputation were retrospectively analyzed.

Is iliac autogenous graft augmentation in medial open wedge high tibial osteotomies superior to no augmentation in terms of bone healing?

Objectives: This study aims to investigate if iliac autogenous graft augmentation in medial open wedge high tibial osteotomies (OWHTOs) is superior to no augmentation in terms of bone healing.

Patients And Methods: Twenty-five patients (14 males, 11 females; mean age 40.9±4.

Endoscopic treatment of bilateral hallux saltans in an ordinary woman.

In this article, we present a 47-year-old female patient applying with pain in posteromedial of ankle and trigger toe complaints. There was no predisposing factor such as dance or sports or any radiological sign such as os trigonum. Posterior ankle endoscopy technique was used for evaluation and it was observed that the FHL tendon was triggered.

Treatment of Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus With Cell-free Polymer-based Scaffold in Single-Step Arthroscopic Surgery.

Arthroscopic techniques have recently gained popularity for the treatment of osteochondral defects of the talus. The microfracture procedure is the most commonly applied arthroscopic technique. However, it is not effective for the treatment of larger lesions.

Single-Step Arthroscopic Repair With Cell-Free Polymer-Based Scaffold in Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus: Clinical and Radiological Results.

Purpose: To report the clinical and radiological results of patients with talar osteochondral lesions who were treated by microfracture and cell-free scaffold implantation in a single-step arthroscopic surgery.

Methods: Forty patients, treated with a single-step arthroscopic surgery, were evaluated in this single-center-based retrospective study. Patients with degenerative arthritis (n = 1), history of ankle fracture (n = 1), kissing lesions (n = 1), lower extremity deformity (n = 1), and lesions <1.

Neglected bilateral congenital dislocation of the patella.

Congenital dislocation of the patella is a disorder that presents with dysfunction in extensor mechanism. Although congenital dislocation of the patella mostly occurs in children with genetic disorders, it may also occur in totally healthy children, despite rarely. In this article, we report a 16-year-old male patient who referred to our clinic with complaints of gait disturbance, frequent falls, and muscular weakness in lower extremity.
