Intrapelvic acetabulum surgery: does the positioning of the plate fixation play a role in the stability of the osteosynthesis?
CONCLUSION: The position of the plate fixation does not affect the stability of the osteosynthesis and in cases of simple fracture patterns, fixation using two plates does not provide more stability than one plate alone.

Biomechanical comparision of femoral intramedullary nails for interfragmentary rotational stability.
CONCLUSION: In axially stable transvers and short oblique femur fractures, Mehmet nail is superior to other intramedullary nails with limited movement between locking screw and hole, more interfragmentary compression without locking screw deformation, and no proximal nail migration.

Positive effect of tadalafil, a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor, on fracture healing in rat femur.
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that tadalafil accelerates fracture healing by enhancing osseous tissue formation similar to sildenafil.

Biomechanical comparison of three-point bending resistance of titanium and stainless steel locking screws in intramedullary nails.
CONCLUSION: In comminuted femur shaft fractures (in full load bearing conditions), using stainless steel locking screws is better instead of titanium screws to avoid locking screw deformation since low threaded stainless steel screws were 46.5% more resistant to bending deformation than titanium ones. Stainless steel or titanium high threaded locking screws may only be carefully used in non-comminuted fractures.

Flexion type supracondylar humerus fractures: 12 year experience of a pediatric orthopedics clinic.
CONCLUSION: Compared with extension type fractures, these fractures are seen in older children and are rarer. One should be prepared to perform open reduction especially for type 3 fractures. In our study, results of patients with type 3 fractures treated with CRPP were superior.

The efficacy of subcutaneous local analgesic infusion in the early postoperative period after bilateral total knee arthroplasty.
CONCLUSION: Subcutaneous infusion of bupivacaine in patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty may prevent emergence of the rebound pain arising after application of intraoperative PAI of local analgesic cocktail and prolong the analgesic efficacy of the cocktail during both knee flexion and SLR activities on the second postoperative day.

[Is intraarticular administration of tranexamic acid efficient and safe as systemic administration in total knee arthroplasty? Single center, randomized, controlled trial].
CONCLUSION: Both intraarticular and intravenous administrations reduce blood loss and need for transfusion and there is no significant difference between the two techniques in terms of safety.

[Salter innominate osteotomy for the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip: 37 years of follow-up].
Authors: Atik OŞ, Daldal İ
Abstract
In this article, we report the radiological and clinical status at postoperative 37th year of a 39-year-old male patient who was treated with bilateral Salter innominate osteotomy due to bilateral developmental dysplasia of the hip when he was two years old. The patient expressed that he had no complaint including pain or limitation in range of motion in both hip joints for 37 years. Pain started six months ago in right hip joint. Patient used cortisone for 12 months with a diagnosis of Henoch-Schönlein purpura five years ago. Radiologic imaging revealed findings of b...

Elbow septic arthritis associated with pediatric acute leukemia: a case report and literature review.
Authors: Uemura T, Yagi H, Okada M, Yokoi T, Shintani K, Nakamura H
Abstract
Acute leukemia in children presents with various clinical manifestations that mimic orthopaedic conditions. The association of septic arthritis of the elbow with acute leukemia is very rare, and the correct diagnosis of acute leukemia is often established only after treatment of the septic arthritis. In this article, we present a three-year-old child patient with elbow septic arthritis related to acute leukemia, diagnosed promptly by bone marrow aspiration on the same day as emergency surgical debridement of the septic elbow joint...

One-stage surgical treatment of neglected simultaneous bilateral locked posterior dislocation of shoulder: a case report and literature review.
Authors: Elmalı N, Taşdemir Z, Sağlam F, Gülabi D, Baysal Ö
Abstract
Simultaneous bilateral locked posterior dislocation of the shoulder is a rare injury. Herein, we present a 59-year-old male case with a three-month history of an irreducible locked bilateral posterior dislocation of the shoulders with an associated large impression fracture on the anteromedial aspect of both humeral heads after a grand mal type epileptic seizure. Plain X-ray and computed tomograph revealed a defect on the right side more than 40% of the articular surface, and on the left side, 30%. He was treated with a one-stage ope...

Osteochondral mosaicplasty along with osteochondroplasty of the femoral head in femoroacetabular impingement: a case report.
Authors: Güngör HR, Kıter E, Ök N, Çatak A
Abstract
Although femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome is included in the etiology of lesions involving the acetabular labrum and acetabular cartilage, it is one of many possible reasons behind osteochondral lesions in the femoral head. Herein, we present clinical findings and outcomes of two cases with osteochondral defects and cam type impingement of femoral head. Both cases underwent autologous osteochondral mosaicplasty along with femoral osteochondroplasty following controlled hip dislocation. Harris hip scores improved significantly postoperative...

A new intramedullary sustained dynamic compression nail for the treatment of long bone fractures: a biomechanical study.
CONCLUSION: Biomechanically, the intramedullary SDCN is more stable than the SIMN system and it provides good abutment of the nail to the bone. Also, SDCN increases the stability by producing continuous compression and increasing the contact pressure of the fracture ends.

Can prosthesis design of total knee arthroplasty affect balance?
CONCLUSION: Our study results show that PCL-substitution prosthesis affects the balance positively in total knee arthroplasty. Therefore, PCL-substitution prosthesis design should be considered for patients who have risk factors for balance disorder, in particular.
