A simple and reproducible technique for meniscus tear repair is described. The technique requires the use of a 16-gauge intravenous catheter, a suture hook, and a knot pusher. The catheter is used for perforation of the meniscus and the tear site in two adjacent locations, then the two free suture ends are retrieved and passed along a small arthroscopic cannula placed at the ipsilateral joint s...

Son yıllarda diz biyomekaniği ve yük aktarımı ile ilgili çalışmalar menisküs koruyucu cerrahilere eğilimin artmasını sağlamıştır. Menisküs yaralanmalarında tamirine uygun hastalarda çeşitli tamir teknikleri geliştirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada akut, travmatik yırtıklarında artroskopik olarak uygulanan dıştan-içe tekniğinin orta dönem klinik fonksiyonel sonuçlarını değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır. Çalışm...

  Background: Wound complications following open repair for acute Achilles tendon ruptures (AATR) remain the subject of significant debate. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of covering repaired AATR using well-nourished connective tissues (paratenon and deep fascia) to avoid complications after open repair.   Methods: In this case series study, open repair was performed for 3...

Defining space by dividing it to inside and outside is one of human’s ways to recognize his positionin environment. Architecture is created to response to this need for inside/outside spaces. Design of inside and outsideSpaces and relation between them always has been one of necessities for definition and limitation of human livingspaces, but little attention to relation of this two spatial rea...

introduction: good radiographs are required for endodontic therapy and because some patient’s are intolerant to intraoral films and/or sensors, this can cause complications in endodontic treatment. extraoral film placement can be used to obtain clinically diagnostic and working radiographs. materials and methods: the no. 2 receptor was placed against the model ’ s cheek and centered in the mola...

in this paper, synthesized (raw) multi-walled carbon nanotube (rmwcnts) surfaces were modified with chitosan and β-cyclodextrin using chen’s soft cutting technique. raw and surface modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes were observed by transmission electron microscope (tem). the results showed that chitosan and β-cyclodextrin could attach to the outer surface of nanotubes, wrapping the nanotub...

PURPOSE To compare the clinical results of single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using the conventional transtibial technique and the anatomical outside-in technique for femoral tunneling. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 2007 to 2011, 89 patients who received ACL reconstruction were followed for ≥1 year were enrolled in the study. The conventional transtibial technique was ...

INTRODUCTION Single-port laparoscopic surgery has some technical limitations with respect to control of the forceps inserted through the single-access site, which results in increased internal collisions due to coaxial alignment of the instruments, as well as and decreased range of motion and visualization. To overcome these limitations, we employ a "modified marionette technique" as a way to c...
