Clinical and radiological outcomes of bioactive glass in the treatment of benign bone tumors: a retrospective study of 64 cases.

Background: Benign and benign-aggressive bone tumors, though non-metastatic, may require surgical intervention due to pain, fracture risk, or functional impairment. In many cases, bone grafting may be required in benign or benign-aggressive bone tumors. Although autografts remain the gold standard, they present disadvantages, especially in pediatric patients.

Extension Block Kirschner Wire Fixation for Acute Bony Mallet Finger: A Retrospective Analysis.

Background: Bony mallet finger is a common injury of the distal phalanx that often requires surgical fixation when fracture displacement disrupts joint congruity. Extension-block Kirschner wire fixation, originally described by Ishiguro, is a minimally invasive method with high reported success rates. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of patients with acute bony mallet finger treated with the extension-block technique using Kirschner wires.

Clinical and radiological outcomes of surgically treated medial malleolus fractures in skeletally immature patients.

Background: Medial distal tibial Salter-Harris Type 3 and Type 4 epiphyseal injuries, also known as McFarland fractures, pose significant risks due to their potential to damage the growth plate and cause long-term joint deformities. Surgical treatment is commonly performed to restore joint congruity; however, there is no clear consensus on whether surgical or conservative treatment yields better outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the mid-term clinical and radiological outcomes of surgical treatment in patients with McFarland fractures.

The effect of degenerative scoliosis and spinopelvic parameters on dislocation of hip hemiarthroplasty.

Background: Degeneration of the spine may affect pelvic parameters and hip mobility. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of degenerative scoliosis and spinopelvic parameters on hip hemiarthroplasty dislocations.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients who underwent hemiarthroplasty for intracapsular hip fracture over a twenty-year period.

Investigation of Possible Reasons of Failed Treatment of Conservative Thoracolumbar Osteoporotic Vertebral Fractures.

Aim: To investigate the possible reasons of failed conservative treatment of osteoporotic thoracolumbar vertebral compression fractures (VCFs). Sagittal balance impairment may weaken union by increasing the load on the fracture line. Most osteoporotic vertebral fractures occur in the thoracolumbar and mid-thoracic regions.

Are critical shoulder angle and acromion index correlated to the size of a rotator cuff tear.

Purpose: Scapular morphology is an extrinsic factor playing role in rotator cuff tear (RCT) etiology. The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between critical shoulder angle (CSA) and acromion index (AI) with partial-bursal side and full thickness RCT and the size of the RCT.

Hypothesis: The hypothesis was that CSA and AI would be greater in partial bursal-side RCT and full-thickness RCT patients and would increase with the size of the RCT.

Simultaneous Bilateral Quadriceps Tendon Rupture in a Patient with Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis after Minimal Trauma: Eight-Year Follow-Up.

Introduction: The purpose of this report was to describe a very rare case of simultaneous bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture seen in a patient who was diagnosed as having diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis.

Case Presentation: A man aged 64 years presented to the emergency department with bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture. Surgical repair was performed with suture anchors and a stainless steel cable.

Intraneural ganglion cyst of the ulnar nerve in an unusual location: A case report.

Introduction: Intraneural ganglion cysts are benign, mucinous, non-neoplastic lesions of the peripheral nerves. While the most common location of intraneural ganglion cysts is the ulnar nerve and its branches, intraneural ganglion cyst involving the superficial branch of the ulnar nerve has not yet been reported.

Presentation Of Case: A-25-year-old woman presented with pain and a palpable mass in the hypothenar region of the volar side of her right hand.

Ponseti technique for the correction of idiopathic clubfeet presenting up to 1 year of age. A preliminary study in children with untreated or complex deformities.

Introduction: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Ponseti method in children presenting before 1 year of age with either untreated or complex (initially treated unsuccessfully by other conservative methods) idiopathic clubfeet.

Patients And Methods: The authors report 134 feet of 92 patients with Dimeglio grade 2, 3, or 4 deformities treated with the Ponseti method. Twenty-four percent of feet were of complex deformities at initial presentation to the authors' clinics.

Tensile strength of ligaments after thermal shrinkage depending on time and immobilization: in vivo study in the rabbit.

The effects of immobilization on healing collagenous tissue treated with thermal shrinkage are investigated in an in vivo rabbit model. Thermal shrinkage was performed on 45 of 50 medial collateral ligaments in 25 mature New Zealand rabbit knees. In half of the knees, the joints were immobilized.
