Authors: Adanır O, Yüksel S, Beytemur O, Güleç MA
Abstract
Combination of the Galeazzi fracture and dislocation of the elbow joint in same extremity is very rare. In this article, we report a 26-year-old male patient with a posterolateral dislocation of the elbow and ipsilateral volar type Galeazzi fracture. We performed closed reduction for the elbow dislocation during admission to the emergency department. Patient was taken to the operating room in the sixth hour of his application to emergency department and open wound on the ulnovolar region of the wrist was closed primarily after irrigation and de...

Authors: Renner A, Szentirmai A, Sántha A, Viola T, Gyárfás F, Melly A, Varga P, Retteghy T
Abstract
In this article, we report successful treatment of serious complications of replantation after traumatic mid-third femoral amputation. To the best of our knowledge, no similar case has been reported in the literature. A 38-year-old healthy male sustained a mid-third right traumatic femoral amputation. We performed replantation. Oliguria and anuria occurred and were treated successfully with hemofiltration and hemodialysis. Six years later, patient walked wearing orthopedic shoes and also protective sensi...

Sonoelastographic evaluation of the distal femoral cartilage in patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
CONCLUSION: While there was no difference for cartilage thickness between operated and healthy knees in B-mode ultrasound evaluation, detection of sonoelastographic strain ratio changes in medial distal femoral cartilage on the operated sides may indicate early structural changes following ACL reconstruction. Further studies are required to highlight the clinical effects of this relationship between the changes in cartilage structure and sonoelastography features.

Histological and biomechanical effects of zoledronate on fracture healing in an osteoporotic rat tibia model.
CONCLUSION: According to histopathological and biomechanical test results, single dose zoledronic acid treatment improves fracture healing in an osteoporotic rat fracture model. Orally administered daily calcium and vitamin D treatment had no effect on fracture healing. There was no additional improvement in fracture healing when calcium and vitamin D treatment was added to zoledronic acid treatment. Positive effects of zoledronic acid treatment on osteoporotic fracture healing and callus quality should be shown by future clinical studies.

Are pedicular screws and lateral hook screws more resistant against pullout than conventional spinal hooks and screws in terminal vertebral segment fixation?
CONCLUSION: Pedicular screw with a lateral hook screw had the highest fixation value. Lateral hook screw may assist to prevent pullout in patients with pullout risk and hyperkyphosis and after hyperkyphosis surgery. Further prospective clinical studies are needed to show the benefit of such a construct in reducing the risk of distal instrumentation pullout.

Should we continue to administer blind shoulder injections?
CONCLUSION: Although blind intra-articular shoulder injections are inexpensive and easily applicable, injections should be performed under fluoroscopy or another guide to ensure that the needle is intra-articular, not peri-articular.

Humeral shaft fractures and radial nerve palsy: early exploration findings.
CONCLUSION: Spiral fractures of humerus, particularly with wedge fragment, may be a candidate for early surgical exploration. Early exploration may be beneficial in terms of early identification of neural injury in patients with radial nerve dysfunction associated with spiral and comminuted humerus fracture.

Abstract
Type and timing of treatment for symptomatic hemangiomas in pregnant females are challenging due to fetus survival and conflicts in neurological recovery. In this article, we report a 40-year-old female patient at pregnancy week 23 with a complicated hemangioma at T1 level. Physical examination revealed an incomplete spastic paraplegia. Patient did not accept any surgery due to child's death risk. Patient was started corticoid treatment and no more weight bearing was allowed. At the 28th week of pregnancy, the patient underwent cesarean secti...

An extraordinary mechanism causing intraoperative migration of the Kirschner-wire.
Authors: Eroğlu M, Özcan Ö, Şentürk İ, Yücehan M
Abstract
Migration of Kirschner wires (K-wires) postoperatively and with use of cannulated implants intraoperatively is a well-known complication. In this article, we present an extraordinary mechanism causing intraoperative migration of a K-wire. A K-wire which was used for temporary fixation of fracture fragments migrated forwardly due to its contact with the drill bit while drilling a hole for a screw. The interaction between the K-wire and the drill bit simulated a gear wheel effect and thus the rotating K-wire advanced. Although no complications ...
