Beyond the guidelines: outcomes of extremely delayed hip fracture surgery in elderly.

Background: Hip fractures are a significant public health issue among the elderly. While early surgical intervention's effects on morbidity are well-documented, the impact of delayed surgery on mortality and morbidity is less understood. This study aims to examine the medium-term morbidity and mortality in patients who underwent delayed surgery with an average preoperative waiting period of 14 days.

Mid- to long-term results of modified tension band technique for small- and medium-sized rotator cuff tears.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the mid- to long-term outcomes of the tension-band suture technique for small- and medium-sized rotator cuff tears.

Patients And Methods: Between January 2015 and January 2022, a total of 36 patients (21 males, 15 females; median age: 55 years; range, 35 to 65 years) with small- and medium-sized tears, classified according to Cofield, who were treated with the arthroscopic modified tension-band method were retrospectively analyzed. Functional outcomes were assessed using the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeon (ASES) shoulder scores, and structural evaluations were conducted via ultrasound.

The fluoroquinolones may positively affect tendon healing after surgical repair.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the biomechanical and histological effects of fluoroquinolones on surgically repaired tendon healing.

Materials And Methods: The Achilles tendons of 40 Wistar rats (mean weight: 213.5 g; range 201 to 242 g) were bilaterally surgically cut and repaired.

Greater tuberosity medial malposition: does it affect shoulder abductor moment?

Purpose: The detrimental effect of greater tuberosity malposition on functional scores is well known. Superior or posterior malpositions exceeding five mm lead to excessive loading on the deltoid strength. However, the significance of situations where greater tuberosity becomes medialized due to the compressive effect of the locking plate fixation, especially in fractures with metaphyseal dead space, has not been emphasized.

An overview of the orthopedic patient profile in the first five days following February 6th, 2023 Kahramanmaras earthquake: A single-center experience in the earthquake zone.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the patient profile at a medium-volume hospital located in the earthquake zone among patients who received orthopedic treatment within the first five days after the natural disaster that was considered a major earthquake.

Patients And Methods: Between February 6, 2023 and February 10, 2023, a total of 338 patients (156 males, 182 females; mean age: 42.2±9.

Treatment of Gustilo-Anderson type III open fractures with segmental long bone loss secondary to gunshot and war ınjurıes in paediatric patients with bone segment transport by the limb reconstructıon system (LRS).

Objective: The information on firearm- or explosive-related extremity injuries in children is very limited. Reports of segmental bone loss due to these types of fractures are even rarer and the treatment remains a problem. There has been no report of distraction osteogenesis with limb reconstruction system (LRS) specifically in children.

The clinical results of lower trapezius tendon transfer with the peroneus longus allograft augmentation combined with interpositional repair with fascia lata in massive irreparable rotator cuff tears.

Objectives: To investigate the clinical results of lower trapezius (LT) tendon transfer and interpositional repair that were performed simultaneously in patients with massive irreparable rotator cuff tears.

Methods: Between 2018 and 2020 years, 16 patients with massive irreparable rotator cuff tears that were treated with LT tendon transfer and interpositional repair at the same time were included in this study. The mean follow-up period was 29±3 months (24-39 months) and the mean age of patients was 62±9 years (42-73 years).

The effect of equine-derived bone protein extract (Colloss-E) in the treatment of cavitary bone defects: an experimental study.

Objective: Bone protein extract (BPE) usually requires a carrier or a scaffold for implantation. We aimed to compare the effect of equine-derived BPE, an osteoinductive agent composed of a high amount of type-I collagen and other bone proteins (Colloss-E), with that of human demineralized bone matrix (DBM) for treating cavitary bone defects not requiring scaffold use.

Methods: Rabbit distal femoral condyle was used as a stable cavitary bone defect model.

Identification of intervertebral disc regeneration with magnetic resonance imaging after a long-term follow-up in patients treated with percutaneous diode laser nucleoplasty: a retrospective clinical and radiological analysis of 14 patients.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to demonstrate regeneration of intervertebral discs undergoing laser therapy with sagittal relaxation time (T2) mapping after a long-term follow-up.

Materials And Methods: Fourteen patients (9 men, 5 women; age range 20-57 years; mean age 36.5 years) treated with percutaneous 908-nm wave-length diode laser nucleoplasty for lumbar disc prolapsus at our clinic between January 2006 and June 2009 were studied.
