Does leukocyte-poor or leukocyte-rich platelet-rich plasma applied with biopolymers have superiority to conventional platelet-rich plasma applications on chondrocyte proliferation?
CONCLUSION: Our study showed the importance of leukocyte concentration of PRP and efficiency of delivery systems such as hydrogel and that L-PRP administered with a delivery system is more efficient than conventional applications of PRP in the treatment of cartilage damage.

Is talon tibial intramedullary nailing clinically superior compared to conventional locked nailing?
CONCLUSION: Talon tibial IM nailing is an easier and safer alternative to conventional distal locked tibial IM nailing with shorter operative and radiation exposure times. However, it should be kept in mind that the time until radiographic union may be longer compared to conventional tibial IM nailing.

Is the use of headless compression screws appropriate in arthroscopic ankle arthrodesis?
CONCLUSION: The use of headless compression screws is an appropriate choice in the ankle area owing to their advantages of providing successful fixation whilst not causing screw head irritation or pain.

Intraobserver and interobserver reliability assessment of tibial plateau fracture classification systems.
CONCLUSION: Among the classification systems compared in this study, Schatzker was the most reliable particularly when CT was used. On the other hand, revised Duparc classification presented the worse reliability results due to its complexity and different morphological subtypes.

Do peak torque angles of muscles change following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using hamstring or patellar tendon graft?
CONCLUSION: The angle of peak torque at relatively high angular velocities is affected after ACL reconstruction in patients with hamstring or patellar tendon grafts. The graft donor site directly influences this parameter. This finding may be important for clinicians in terms of preventing re-injury.

Rafting technique without bone grafting in reverse Hill-Sachs lesions.
Authors: Çırpar M, Oktaş B, Dağlar B
Abstract
In this article, we report a case of bilateral posterior shoulder instability, having reverse Hill-Sachs lesions of 25 to 50% of the articular surface on the right side, and of 50% on the left side. The defects were anatomically reconstructed after tuberculum minus osteotomy by elevation of the articular surface and buttressing with raft screws without graft usage. Early rehabilitation with pendulum shoulder exercises was started at third postoperative day. At postoperative sixth week, patient had full range of motion without instability and pain. At postop...

Proximal tibiofibular synostosis.
Authors: Kaptan AY, Atik OŞ
Abstract
A 22-year-old male patient admitted to our clinic with mild pain in left knee. Pain had started 10 years ago and there was no history of trauma. Pain was increased with kneeling. No abnormality was detected on physical examination. Imaging results revealed proximal tibiofibular synostosis in left knee.

Liposclerosing myxofibrous tumor: a rare tumor of proximal femur.
Authors: Beytemür O, Tetikkurt ÜS, Albay C, Kavşut G, Güleç A
Abstract
Liposclerosing myxofibrous tumor is a very rarely observed benign fibro-osseous lesion, which contains complex histological structures. It was first described in the year 1986. Histopathological examination of the lesion may show myxoid areas, osteoclastic activity, bone trabeculae similar to fibrous dysplasia, fat necrosis, ischemic ossification and rarely cartilage components. This lesion, which is particularly localized to the proximal femur, is thought to be associated with fibrous dysplasia. In this case report, we aim to pres...

Failure of an expandable cage-plate cervical vertebral body replacement: case report of a device related complication.
Authors: Trieb K, Koch S
Abstract
Instabilities of the cervical spine after complete or incomplete corpectomy may be the result from resection due to stenosis induced myelopathy, tumors, infections or fractures. In this article, we report a 49-year-old female patient after surgical decompression and stabilization at C5/7 with permanent cervicobrachialgia due to cervical stenosis at C5/7. Corpectomy of C6 and stabilization of C5/7 were performed with a combination of cage and plate. At an outpatient control 16 months after reoperation, the patient complained of neck pain, while the control X-ray showed a fr...

Comparison of intravenous and intra-articular tranexamic acid in reducing blood loss in primary total knee replacement.
CONCLUSION: Intra-articular TA was equally effective as IV regimen in reducing the number of blood transfusions. However, IV administration of TA was associated with overall lower blood loss. Our results showed that IV administration of TA during total knee replacement is superior compared to intra-articular administration of TA.
