Background: Sinus tarsi syndrome is characterized by permanent pain on the anterolateral side of the ankle. This pain occurs due to chronic inflammation, characterized by fibrotic tissue remnants and synovitis accumulation after repeated traumatic injuries. Few studies have documented the outcome of injection treatments for sinus tarsi syndrome. We...

Endocan, which has an important role in inflammation and angiogenesis, is known to be an effective mediator in evaluating tumour progression and prognosis in many malignant tumour groups. Here, we investigated whether endocan is a biomarker that can be used to distinguish malignant from benign bone tumours. In all, 30 patients with pathologically m...

Objective: Different anxiety levels come up, and many of the patients become worried before operations. If there was anxiety, the patients should be relieved by diagnosing, and the negative anxiety should be turned into a positive form. It will cause positive reactions of the patients and make the treatment gains increase. We aimed to compare the a...

Ankle fractures are the most common fractures after lower extremity injuries. These fractures can occur after sprains, falls, and sports activities. There are different classifications used in ankle fractures. In the Lauge-Hansen classification, the injury mechanism and foot posture are essential. The condition of the soft tissue is critical in ank...

Purpose Earlier research has explored carpal tunnel release (CTR) surgery outcomes using electrodiagnostic tests (EDX). However, evaluation of the median nerve before and after CTR by ultrasound (US) is understudied. This study aimed to establish the outcomes of CTR by EDX and US, and examine the correlation between the clinical improvement and US...

Sinus tarsi syndrome is a clinical disease characterized by chronic anterolateral ankle soreness, that occurs following severe ankle injuries. As a result of traumatic injuries, the ligaments in the sinus tarsi cavity are damaged. The sinus tarsi cavity is filled with fibrotic tissue remnants and synovitis following ligament injuries. Synovitis and...

Fractures of the proximal scaphoid waist are more prone to nonunion than distal scaphoid fractures. Thirty-nine patients (five females, 34 males; mean age 31 years) who had operation for proximal scaphoid waist nonunion between 2017 and 2020 were retrospectively analysed. Patients received a free vascularized medial femoral condyle graft (Group 1:...

Background: Although carpal tunnel release surgery (CTRS) is a routine surgery, it can cause catastrophic results with incorrect incisions, insufficient release, and frequent recurrences. In this study, we aimed to present the results of the patients who underwent primary and revision CTRS and the pitfalls in surgery in the light of atypical cases....

Objective: Ganglion cysts, the most common benign soft tissue tumors, are most often located in the wrist. This study describes successful surgical outcomes of wrist ganglion cyst treatment, and provides guidance related to an adequate excision. Materials and Methods: A total of 74 patients (46 females and 28 males, aged 18-46 years) treated operat...

Aim: Fractures of both the radius and the ulna that co-occur are called both-bone forearm fractures. The treatment of both-bone forearm fractures is open reduction and internal fixation in adults, during closed reduction and circular casting or elastic intramedullary nailing in children. This study aimed to analyze whether there was any change in p...

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the mid-term functional and radiological outcomes of magnesium-based screws in the treatment of scaphoid fractures. Patients and methods: Between February 2015 and February 2018, a total of 21 patients (18 males, 3 females; mean age: 28.5±5.8 years; range, 19 to 39 years) with acute scaphoid waist fracture...

Background/Aim: The coccyx has several variants which could sometimes be confused with fractures. Our study aimed to alert physicians about the types of coccyges that can be easily confused with coccyx fractures in daily practice. Methods: Mid-sagittal and mid-coronal computerized images of 75 patients were analyzed to determine the types of coccy...

The diagnosis and treatment of septic arthritis in children is a challenging process. The hip is the second most common site of septic arthritis after the knee, and hip septic arthritis has the worse outcomes. We reported the clinical results with hip septic arthritis, who was treated early, and another patient whose diagnosis was delayed. A five-y...

Introduction: Pedicle screws are durable and safe instruments frequently used to treat vertebra injuries and deformities. There is also a possibility of medulla spinalis and visceral organ injury when the pedicle screws are delivered in unsuitable positions or dimensions. In this case, the authors want to draw attention to one of the visceral orga...
