The objective of this study was to identify the incidence and associated risk factors for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) after arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction.This study included 128 patients who underwent arthroscopic PCL reconstruction. Venography was performed on the operated leg 3 days postoperatively. The patients were divided into 2 groups based on whether they...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the results of treatment of scaphoid nonunion with questionable viability of the proximal fragment, but without significant deformity or collapse, using a vascularized bone graft of 1,2 intercompartmental supraretinacular artery (1.2 ICSRA) and subsequent osteosynthesis. MATERIAL AND METHOD A retrospective study was performed on 10 male patients with a radiographic diagno...

BACKGROUND Application of plane geometry to the study of bunion deformity may represent an interesting and novel approach in the research field of hallux valgus. For the purpose of contributing to development of a different perspective in the assessment of hallux valgus, this study was conducted with three objectives: a) to determine the position on the intersection point of the perpendicular b...

OBJECTIVE Clinical and functional assessment of the surgical treatment for acute injury of the distal insertion of the biceps brachial performed with a surgical technique using a single incision in proximal forearm and fixation with suture anchors in the radial tuberosity. METHODS This study reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent surgical treatment of distal biceps injury duri...

Infiltration of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) may be considered as a recent therapeutic option for chronic tendinopathies. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical status and the return to sports activities in patients with chronic proximal patellar tendinopathies. Twenty subjects with chronic proximal patellar tendinopathy benefited from 1 infiltration of PRP coupled with a standardized ...

INTRODUCTION Proximal femoral fractures are most common fractures in the elderly. To relieve the pain due to the injury, conventional management modality is administration of systemic opioids and non-steroid anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). In this study, we examined the effectiveness of fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) in pain management in acute stage for patients with proximal femoral...

BACKGROUND Proximal patellar tendinopathy/jumper's knee (PT/JK) is well known to be difficult to treat. Recent studies using an ultrasound and colour Doppler-based treatment approach on the dorsal side of the tendon, sclerosing polidocanol injections and ultrasound-guided arthroscopic shaving, have shown promising clinical results. OBJECTIVES To compare the clinical effects after treatment wi...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of the treatment of Schatzker type V and VI tibial plateau fractures using a midline longitudinal incision and dual-plate fixation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten patients with Schatzker type V and VI tibial plateau fractures treated with a midline longitudinal incision and dual plating were analyzed. The patients were followed for a mi...

Objective: A retrospective examination was made of tibia shaft fractures treated with intramedullary nail (IMN), which are designed distal retractable claws, unlike classic imtramedullar nails. It aimed to evaluate the effect on healing diameter and distance between fracture line proximal fixation points IMN. Material Method: The study included 28 patients (18 males, 10 females; mean age 43.75 ...

BACKGROUND Surface replacement arthroplasty is a reconstructive alternative for the treatment of pain and deformity due to osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the finger. This retrospective study was performed to examine long-term outcomes of proximal interphalangeal joint prosthetic surface replacement with a proximal cobalt-chromium (CoCr) and dist...
