Extensor pollicis longus tendon ruptures are rarely reported after traumatic events, especially after distal radius fractures. Its classical presentation is a late-onset and unilateral rupture after a non-displaced distal radius fracture. In this case report, we present the treatment of a patient with acute bilateral extensor pollicis longus tendon ruptures after bilateral displaced distal radius fractures. The patient was treated with bilateral open reduction and volar plate fixation via a volar Henry approach for distal radius fractures and bilateral extensor indicis proprius tendon transfer for extensor pollicis longus tendon ruptures...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of vitamin K2 on fracture healing. METHODS: Twenty-four 6-week-old male Wistar albino rats that had open tibia fractures induced were included in this study. They were divided into 2 groups of 12, a group that had vitamin K2 administered over 30 consecutive days and a control group. After 30 days, the rats were sacrificed, and from each group, 6 tibiae were selected for biomechanical testing to examine the mechanical strength of the callus tissue using the Instron 3-point bending test and 6 tibiae were selected for histological analysis to examine the density and organization of callus tissue using Allen's grading system and Huo et al's grading system...

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the comparative effects of different types or parameters of lumbar traction in low back pain (LBP). METHODS: CENTRAL, CINAHL, ISI Web of Science, PEDro, PubMed, and Scopus databases were searched from their inception to March 31, 2021. We considered all RCTs comparing different types or parameters of lumbar traction on adults who complained of LBP with or without lumbar radiculopathy (LR)...

Tibial tuberosity fractures are uncommon in adults. Surgery for these types of fractures is performed similarly to that of tibial tuberosity avulsion fractures in adolescents. The most commonly introduced method is to fix the displaced bone fragments using screws or wires and, if necessary, use tension band wiring for augmentation. However, if the bone fragments are too small or severely comminuted, it may be challenging to fix them using the conventional method. In this study, we introduced a fixation method using two knotless suture anchors that could be attempted in such cases...

Ankle fractures are relatively common orthopaedic injuries; however, irreducible ankle fractures with or without dislocations are a rare, unstable type of injury that require surgical treatment. The structures impeding the accurate reduction of ankle fractures may be soft tissues, such as the deltoid ligament, extensor retinaculum, tendons, or bony fragments between the fracture sites. A 47-year-old male patient with irreducible medial malleolus and distal fibula fracture was referred for treatment. Intraoperatively, it was discovered that failed reduction was due to the interposition of the posterior tibial tendon in the syndesmosis...

Modular femoral stem-head systems are used increasingly due to their ease of application and offset adjustment. However, this modular ity has brought complications of trunnion wear and breakage. Although very rarely encountered, trunnion fracture is a catastrophic com plication that requires challenging revision surgery. This report presents a trunnion fracture of a cobalt-chrome alloy, fully porous-coated femoral stem. Following single-stage revision surgery, full weight-bearing was achieved in six weeks, and the patient was painlessly mobile with a single cane and had a Hip Score of 81 in the last follow-up...

OBJECTIVE: This prospective, randomized study aimed to compare anterior suprascapular nerve block versus interscalene block in terms of diaphragm paralysis in arthroscopic shoulder surgery. METHODS: Fifty-two patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy surgery were prospectively randomly assigned to interscalene block (n=25) or anterior suprascapular nerve block groups (n=27) (each group receiving 5 mL, 0.5% bupivacaine). The ipsilateral diaphrag matic excursion was assessed in all patients using ultrasound imaging before (baseline), 30 minutes, and 24 hours after block completion...

METHODS: We retrospectively examined the impact of the grade of preexisting osteoarthritis on the functional outcome of 88 patients older than 60 years with intertrochanteric fractures treated by intramedullary fixation. The patients were divided into 2 groups accord ing to the grade of osteoarthritis: group 1, including 52 patients (32 females and 20 males) with Kellgren-Lawrence grades 1 and 2, and group 2, including 36 patients (24 females and 12 males) with Kellgren-Lawrence grades 3 and 4...
