The forelock sign: A new arthroscopic finding in partial subscapularis tears.
CONCLUSION: The forelock sign identified in this study was significantly frequent (60%) in partial subscapularis tendon tears with strong inter- and intra-observer consistency while the air bag sign was rare (10%). The LHBT disorders were strongly associated with subscapularis tears; however, the forelock sign was not an indicator of the condition of the LHBT and type of partial subscapularis tendon tear according to the Lafosse classification.

Comparison of early clinical results and re-tear rates of transosseous-equivalent rotator cuff repairs with or without medial knots.
CONCLUSION: In comparison to the medial knotted technique, less time-consuming and simpler knotless technique provides similar satisfactory outcomes after a minimum of one year postoperatively. PMID: 31650914 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Eklem Hastaliklari ve Cerrahisi)

Median nerve and carpal tunnel volume changes after two different surgical methods: A comparative magnetic resonance imaging study of mini-open and endoscopic carpal tunnel release.
CONCLUSION: Both methods can be preferred to release the transverse carpal ligament in patients with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome. The surgeon should decide on which method to use considering the advantages and disadvantages reported in the literature.

Comparison of single event multilevel surgery and multiple surgical events in the lower extremities of children with spastic cerebral palsy.
CONCLUSION: In this study, SEMS contributed significantly to movement, posture and independence of children with CP compared to MSE. Single event multilevel surgery also increased family satisfaction. PMID: 31650917 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Eklem Hastaliklari ve Cerrahisi)

Comparison of three surgical methods in the treatment of intraarticular comminuted distal radius fractures: Volar locking plate, non-bridging external fixator, and bridging external fixator.
CONCLUSION: Although clinical and radiological results for intraarticular comminuted distal radius fractures are more significantly improved in patients treated with VLP, favorable results close to VLP can be also obtained with NbEF. The BEF seems to be the least effective treatment option among the three surgical methods. PMID: 31650918 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Eklem Hastaliklari ve Cerrahisi)

The long-term results of cemented Oxford unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: A single-center experience.
CONCLUSION: According to our findings, while reoperation and early aseptic revision rates of Oxford medial UKA are high compared to the TKA results reported in the literature, functional results are satisfactory for patients with no revision.

Can radiology reflect patient satisfaction after hallux valgus surgery?
CONCLUSION: The FWSL has an influence on patient satisfaction. It is correlated both with AOFAS scores and satisfaction scale. It can be used as a measurable parameter to detect patient satisfaction. PMID: 31650920 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Eklem Hastaliklari ve Cerrahisi)

Treatment of adult isolated ulnar diaphyseal fractures: A comparison of new-generation locked intramedullary nail and plate fixation.
CONCLUSION: With similar union rates, functional results, and shorter operation times, locked IMNs are a suitable alternative to plate osteosynthesis in adult isolated ulnar diaphyseal fractures. PMID: 31650921 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Eklem Hastaliklari ve Cerrahisi)

The effect of pentoxifylline on Achilles tendon healing in tenotomized rabbits.
CONCLUSION: Pentoxifylline increased healing and strength in rabbit Achilles tendon by stimulating collagen synthesis, increasing vascularity and reducing inflammation, particularly in the early period both histopathologically and biomechanically. According to our study, PTX may be favorable for the treatment of human Achilles tendon injuries and tendinopathies. PMID: 31650923 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Eklem Hastaliklari ve Cerrahisi)

The effects of focal brain damage on fracture healing: An experimental rat study.
CONCLUSION: There is a possible relationship between enhanced fracture healing after TBI and damage in the MC. Motor cortex plays a more active role on fracture healing in TBI. PMID: 31650924 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Eklem Hastaliklari ve Cerrahisi)

Comparison of two-dimensional shear wave elastography and point shear wave elastography techniques with magnetic resonance findings in detection of patellar tendinopathy.
CONCLUSION: Shear wave elastography and pSWE techniques can be safely used as non-invasive and quantitative imaging modalities in detection of patellar tendinopathy. Our results indicated that SWE and pSWE were helpful to confirm stiffness of patellar tendon in patients with patellar tendinopathy.
