Comparison of the effects of human recombinant epidermal growth factor and platelet-rich plasma on healing of rabbit patellar tendon.
CONCLUSION: Compared to PRP, hrEGF caused more increase in healing tissue at neovascularization, tenocyte, fibroblast, collagen, and tissue macrophage levels; and higher levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL8, and CXCR2. Intralesional hrEGF administration can effectively accelerate tendon healing.

Management of solitary fibrous tumors localized in extremity: case series and a review of the literature.
CONCLUSION: In the treatment of solitary fibrous tumors localized in extremity, marginal resection together with radiotherapy may be an alternative treatment method for patients in low risk group according to risk stratification model, for whom wide resection is not possible. Wide resection is recommended in moderate and high risk groups to decrease local recurrence and metastasis risks.

Neglected bilateral congenital dislocation of the patella.
Authors: Tokgöz MA, Çavuşoğlu AT, Ayanoğlu T, Elma T, Vural A
Abstract
Congenital dislocation of the patella is a disorder that presents with dysfunction in extensor mechanism. Although congenital dislocation of the patella mostly occurs in children with genetic disorders, it may also occur in totally healthy children, despite rarely. In this article, we report a 16-year-old male patient who referred to our clinic with complaints of gait disturbance, frequent falls, and muscular weakness in lower extremity. The patient had no complaints during walking, but had difficulty in running and walking up and ...

Atypical injury of radial nerve after humeral shaft fracture.
Authors: Yeşil M, Özcan Ö, Kaya ÖA, Erginoğlu SE
Abstract
As general opinion, conservative treatment is usually suggested for closed humeral shaft fractures with radial nerve palsy; however, some authors advocate early surgical exploration, particularly for spiral fractures of the humerus accompanied with radial nerve palsy. In this article, we present a case of radial nerve palsy after fracture of the proximal-middle third of humeral shaft. A surgical exploration of the nerve revealed that the sharp tip of the bony fragment at fracture site was penetrated into the nerve and separated the nerve as two...

Ulna fracture and medial meniscal tear resulting from dog-related injuries.
Authors: Atik OŞ, Odluyurt M, Özcan E, Savlık S
Abstract
In this article, we present two middle-aged female patients with ulna fracture or medial meniscal tear resulting from dog-related injuries, which are not common. Both patients mentioned that pain started after their dogs pulled away their collar ropes strongly and suddenly. Both patients had postmenopausal osteoporosis and degenerative osteoarthritis. For this reason, ulna fracture and meniscus tear had developed with low-energy trauma resulting from dog-related injuries.

Is it possible to avoid intra-articular screw penetration with minimal use of fluoroscopy in the application of distal radius volar plate?
CONCLUSION: With improvements in the design of the volar plate and the distal locking screw bed, it is possible to rule out the possibility of intra-articular screw complications and the need for surgical re-correction in the early-term, and to reduce to a minimum the risk of exposure of the surgical team to radiation.

Comparison of non-compression and compression interlocking intramedullary nailing in rabbit femoral shaft osteotomy model.
CONCLUSION: Compression interlocking intramedullary nailing provides faster fracture healing than non-compression interlocking intramedullary nailing. Best histological fracture healing scores were obtained with 0.5 mm compression performed at the fracture site.
