Research paper thumbnail of Is radiological rotation measurement affected by the fracture pattern in pediatric supracondylar humeral fractures?

However, this technique includes only typical fractures (49%–80% of all fractures) from the Johns Hopkins (J-H) fracture classification system. Purpose The aim of the study was to investigate (1) is Gordon criteria useful for John Hopkins subgroups of supracondylar fractures and (2) is Gordon criteria affected by internal and external rotation. Material and Methods This study was designed using four pediatric left humerus bones obtained from the Sawbone© company. For each bone, an osteotomy was made to mimic each of the J-H coronal fracture patterns. The cut bones were placed in a wooden rotation apparatus. The GLRP measurements were taken by five blinded observers. Results In the repeated measurements of the observers, <20° rotation typical and <30° medial oblique and lateral oblique fracture patt...

Materials and Methods: The patients aged between 18-65 years with a history of traumatic hand injury in the last five years were analyzed retrospectively. Demographic and clinic data were taken from the medical records, and work-related problems were obtained by telephone calls. The severity of hand injury was assessed with Modified Hand Injury Severity Score (MHISS). Results: A total of 147 patients (129 males, 18 females; mean age 39.83±10.4 years) were included. The duration of return to work was correlated with total MHISS (rho=0.262 p=0.003) while not related to age, education level, gender, or injured hand’s dominance (p>0.05). Duration of return to work after hand injury and total MHISS were lower in the patients who had job modifications (p...

The aim of the study is to determine whether there is any difference in preventing loss of reduction between long-arm cast and long-arm splint following pediatric supracondylar humerus fracture surgery. Patients and Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of pediatric patients with supracondylar humerus fractures treated operatively between 2012 and 2019 at a university hospital. According to Skaggs criteria, early postoperative and 3rd-week follow-up X-rays were evaluated for the loss of reduction (LOR). Postoperative immobilization method; splint or cast was compared in the context of LOR. Results: Cast immobilization was found to be superior in preventing LOR in the first three weeks postoperatively (p˂0.05). There was no significant difference for other factors like fracture con...

Research paper thumbnail of An unusual injury pattern: arm wrestling injury, treatment modalities, clinical outcomes, and return to sport

The aim of this study was to present the treatment modalities, functional outcomes, and return to sport after arm wrestling injuries. METHODS: A retrospective evaluation was made of the trauma mechanisms, treatment modalities, clinical outcomes, and time of return to sports of patients admitted to our hospital with an arm wrestling injury between 2008 and 2020. At the final follow-up examination, the functional scores (DASH score and constant score) of the patients were evaluated. RESULTS: Evaluation was made of 22 patients comprising 18 (82%) males and 4 (18%) females with a mean age of 20±6.1 years (range, 12-33 years). Two (10%) patients were professional arm wrestlers. The DASH scores at the final follow-up (mean 4 years) examination were 0.57 (min: 0 and max: 1.7) for the patients with humerus shaft fracture. All the patients with isolated soft-tissue injuries returned to sports within 1 month. Patients with humeral shaft fractures returned to sports later and had a lower functional score (P<0.05). There was no disability in any patient during long-term follow-up. Patients with soft-tissue injuries continued arm wrestling more than patients with bone injuries (P<0.001). CONCLUSION: This study constitutes the largest patient series evaluating patients presenting at a health-care institution with any complaint after arm wrestling. Arm wrestling is not a sport that only results in bone pathologies. Therefore, providing the participants in this sport with information that they may be injured in arm wrestling but there will be a full recovery, may reassure and encourage them.

In the present study, the purpose was to investigate the interobserver and intraobserver consistency of x-ray and/or Computed Tomography (CT) in fracture classification and implant preference for treatment in intertrochanteric fractures. Materials and Methods: The patients who were diagnosed with 80 intertrochanteric fractures by two orthopedists with 5 or more years of trauma experience and who had pelvic CT scans for suspected accompanying fractures were evaluated in the study. AO/OTA classification and implant preference for treatment were based on x-ray and/or CT. Second evaluations were made two weeks later. Cohen’s Kappa was calculated for interobserver reliability in the first evaluation and intraobserver reliability in the first and second evaluations. Results: Intra-observer ICC ranged between 0.861 and 0.973 for...

In this report our aim is to present a case of pulmonary embolism which developed 47 days after surgical repair of achilles tendon rupture and diagnosed factor V leiden heterozygous mutation. Methods: Case presentation: A 28 – years- old man was admitted to emergency department with left heel pain and he could not bear weight on it. Achilles tendon rupture was confirmed with physical examination and MRI and patient operated under the spinal anesthesia. Tendon was repaired with the modified Kesler technique. Patient was cast-immobilized and ambulating with crutches and rested for 47 days at home, when he was admitted to emergency department again with acute severe dyspnea, pain on right side, hemoptysis. There was no chronic disease history in...

Treatment consisted of open surgical and reduction, osteosynthesis with a single Kirschner wire, and ligament repair. The patient's functional outcome was excellent, and his Mayo wrist score was 90 at 36 months after injury. Conclusions: Pisiform dislocations may be difficult to diagnose because anteroposterior and lateral radiographs may not be sufficient to visualize the injury. A 30°semisupinated wrist x-ray and computed tomography can be helpful. A satisfactory clinical result may be achieved if distal pisiform dislocations are detected early and managed surgically with open reduction and ligament repair.

Methods: The records of patients who had undergone primary TKA between 2013 and 2105 and with a preoperative CT measurement of the knee were evaluated. During surgery, following the distal femoral incision, PCL and sTEA lines were drawn on the surface with a ruler and a pencil and recorded with a digital camera. The angle between the cTEA, or the line joining the most prominent points of the medial and lateral epicondyles, and the PCL was measured using a picture archiving communication system (PACS). Results: The study group consisted of 9 knees of 9 patients (1 male, 8 female; mean age: 67 years, range: 59-80 years). The photographs indicating the angle between the sTEA line and the PCL revealed external rotation in 9 knees (100%), with a mean angle of 2.67±1.41° (range: 1-6°). The preoperative axial CT images also demonstrated external rotation in 9 knees (100%), with a mean angle of 4.67±1.41° (range: 2-7°). Conclusion: There was a difference between the sTEA, which is used to determine the rotation of femoral component during TKA, and the cTEA measured preoperatively using CT. It is safe to use 1 of these 2 techniques to check the result of the other. In the future, measurements made using CT will be used to design personalized anatomical prostheses.
