BACKGROUND: The P value has often been used as a tool to determine the statistical significance and evaluate the statistical robustness of study findings in orthopedic literature. The purpose of this study is to apply both the fragility index (FI) and the fragility quotient (FQ) to evaluate the degree of statistical fragility in orbital fracture literature. We hypothesized that the dichotomous outcomes within the orbital fracture literature will be vulnerable to a small number of outcome event reversals and will be statistically fragile...

PURPOSE: Many studies have reported the role of arthrocentesis to alleviate symptoms of patients with disc displacement without reduction (DDWoR). Nevertheless, the benefit of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to answer the following question: among patients with DDWoR, do those treated with intra-articular injection of i-PRF after arthrocentesis, when compared to those treated with arthrocentesis only, have better clinical outcomes in terms of pain reduction and improvement of jaw movement? MATERIALS AND METHODS: This single-blind randomized, controlled study included patients with diagnosed DDWoR, in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the School of Dentistry, Ege University, who had localized joint pain and limited range of motion...

PURPOSE: Difficult airway teams (DATs) are typically present to assist intubation at the initial mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) operation for infants with Robin sequence (RS). In some institutions, the RS diagnosis triggers a "difficult airway" label for the infant, requiring DAT presence for future operations. By the time of distractor removal, however, breathing and airway anatomy are significantly improved. The objective of this study was to measure intubation difficulty and perioperative respiratory complications at MDO device removal as a proxy for the necessity for coordination with a DAT...

PURPOSE: Persistent trigeminal neuropathy (PTN) is associated with high rates of depression, loss of work, and decreased quality of life (QoL). Nerve allograft repair can achieve functional sensory recovery in a predictable manner; however, it bears significant upfront costs. In patients suffering from PTN, is surgical repair with allogeneic nerve graft, when compared to non-surgical therapy, a more cost-effective treatment option? MATERIALS AND METHODS: A Markov model was constructed with TreeAge Pro Healthcare 2022 (TreeAge Software, Massachusetts) to estimate the direct and indirect costs for PTN...

Arthroscopy of the temporomandibular joint is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. Nowadays, 3 levels are described depending on the complexity. Level I involves a single puncture with an anterior irrigating needle for outflow. Level II involves a double puncture using triangulation in order to be able to perform minor operative maneuvers. Subsequently, it is possible to progress to Level III and perform more advanced techniques, through multiple punctures, involving the arthroscopic canula and 2 or more working cannulas...
