There was a swelling on the right ankle and he had difficulty in walking. Os trigonum fracture was detected at lateral X-ray of the right ankle. No add...

We compared 2 different fixation methods (bioabsorbable pins and cannulated screws) after chevron osteotomy for the treatment of hallux valgus. We reviewed consecutive proximal chevron osteotomies in 80 patients (100 feet) performed by 2 surgeons. Of the 100 feet (80 patients), 48 feet (40 patients) were stabilized with bioabsorbable pins, and 52 f...

The influence of anatomical or nonanatomical femoral tunnel position on tunnel widening and clinical outcomes in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is not fully understood. This retrospective study examined the influence of tunnel width and placement on anterior knee stability and clinical outcomes after ACL reconst...

Background: The aim of this study was to measure the rotational angle defect between fracture ends in paediatric forearm diaphyseal fractures on radiographs. Methods: Evaluations were performed on 78 paediatric patients who presented at the emergency department with a diaphyseal forearm fracture during 2013-2014. Thirty-two patients who underwen...

The aim of this prospective study was to test a mathematical method of measuring the malrotation of pediatric distal radius fractures (PDRFs) from direct radiographs. A total of 70 pediatric patients who presented at the Emergency Department with a distal radius fracture were evaluated. For 38 selected patients conservative treatment for PDRF was p...

Introduction: A rare case of proximal phalange fractures has been presented in this study. Presentation of case: A 29-year-old male patient from Turkey was admitted to the orthopedics and traumatology clinic with a complaint of left hand pain, which had persisted for 10days. He described a rotational trauma that had occurred right after hitting...

Synovial chondromatosis is a mono-articular arthropathy rarely seen in diarthrodial joints. The classic treatment for synovial chondromatosis is open arthrotomy, synovectomy and complete removal of the free fragments. With recent advances in arthroscopic techniques and methods, the indications for arthroscopic treatment have been extended. A 33-yea...

In this study, postoperative changes in the posterior tibial slope angle and clinical outcomes following open-wedge high tibial osteotomy were evaluated. This study included 39 knees (18 left, 21 right) of 35 patients (three male, 32 female; median age, 53 years; age range 37-64 years) with symptomatic isolated medial joint osteoarthritis who under...

Traumatic hip dislocations occur in children below 15 years old. Just as in adults, posterior hip dislocations are 10 times more common than anterior hip dislocations. Traumatic hip dislocation in pediatric patients < 10 years of age requires much less force than that in an adult, while in children over 10 years old, We reported a 4-year-old boy wi...

Introduction Loose bodies within the joint from any cause have the potential for continued growth. Presentation of case A 41-year-old male had suffered multiple recurrent dislocations of his left shoulder and pain. His anterior apprehension and relocation tests were positive, but no other sign was noted on physical examination. On magnetic resonan...
