Hypothenar hammer syndrome: a case series and literature review.
CONCLUSION: Hypothenar hammer syndrome is a disease of the upper extremities that should be considered in patients with digital ischemia, and a history of manual labor and smoking. Although this disease can be treated with conservative therapy, advance-stage patients who fail to respond to conservative treatment can be treated surgically with vein grafts.

Is magnetic resonance imaging reliable for the evaluation of the ruptured or healed anterior cruciate ligament?
Authors: Atik OŞ, Çavuşoğlu AT, Ayanoğlu T Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred imaging technique to evaluate the intact, ruptured or healed anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). However, its effectiveness in the diagnosis of chronic tears with synovialization has not been searched. During conservative treatment of torn ACL, there is a reparative process with proliferation of synovial scar tissue which may produce a bridge. This healing, so called synovialization, may cause ACL to be misdiagnosed as intact on MRI. This is true for old ruptures of ACL. Magnetic resonance imaging is re...

Total wrist arthrodesis with wrist fusion rod in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
CONCLUSION: Wrist fusion using WFR is an option for the treatment of advanced stage rheumatoid arthritis of wrist. According to our experience, the stability of third carpometacarpal joint should be assessed before surgery, and this joint should be fused if required. The bending angle of the intramedullary rod does not directly form the wrist fusion angle in contrast to the case with a dorsal wrist fusion plate.

Bilateral, locked, recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation: case report.
Authors: Şanel S, Şencan S, Öçgüder A, Solakoğlu C Abstract Bilateral anterior dislocation of the shoulder is a rare condition. Most of the cases are seen as posterior dislocations which generally occur during diffuse tonic-clonic contractions of epileptic seizures or after being exposed to strong electric shock. In this article, we report a 21-year-old epileptic patient who had severe bilateral shoulder pain and joint restriction. Diagnoses of bilateral, locked, anterior shoulder dislocation and Hill-Sachs lesions were made with shoulder X-rays and computed tomography. Arthroscopic Bankart repair an...
