Percutaneous iliosacral screws provide a safe pelvic fixation obviating large surgical exposures. The presence of transitional vertebrae may present difficulties in numbering and fluoroscopic identification of lumbar discs and vertebrae. We performed percutaneous iliolumbar screw fixation for an unstable pelvic fracture due to a traffic accident in a 20-year-old male patient with transitional lumbar vertebrae. No neurologic or vascular complications were seen and the patient returned to his preinjury work and was pain-free in the second postoperative year. In order to determine the anatomic relationship of the iliolumbar screw with the major neurovascular...

It is mostly seen as a monoarticular disease in the knee, hip, shoulder, ankle, and elbow joints. To our knowledge, isolated synovial chondromatosis of the proximal tibiofibular joint has not been reported. A 36-year-old male patient presented with a complaint of pain on the lateral side of the right knee, whose severity gradually increased within the past two years. Radiological findings were suggestive of synovial chondromatosis of the proximal tibiofibular joint. The patient was treated with resection of the fibular head, including the satellite lesions.

During flexor tendoplasty for a zone II flexor tendon injury in the index finger, duplication of the radial and ulnar digital nerves was detected at the level of the proximal phalanx, making a total of four digital nerves. Both radial and ulnar digital nerves gave off branches at the level of the metacarpophalangeal joint that ran to the distal index finger. One of digital nerves on the radial side was cut at the level of the proximal phalanx and was treated with neurorrhaphy. Complete sensory recovery in the distal area of the index finger was achieved within a follow-up of six months. Such variations in the digital nerves may lead to insufficient repai...

Most cases involve the lunate or scaphoid bones in the wrist. Two twin sisters aged 23 years were examined for the complaint of left-sided wrist pain. Physical examination and radiologic findings showed unilateral and symmetrical lesions in the left scaphoid bone suggesting intraosseous ganglions. Both patients underwent ganglion excision and grafting using autografts taken from the ipsilateral distal radius. Both patients were free of wrist pain during a three-year follow-up. Histopathologic examination of the excised lesions was consistent with intraosseous ganglion. Unilateral and symmetrical involvement of the same bone in these twin sisters sugge...

This can be achieved through gradual stretching of the muscle during distraction. If there is shortening before surgery or muscle stiffness is expected during lengthening, measures should be taken before distraction osteogenesis and muscle length should be preserved.

Both patients (females, aged 64 and 65 years) sustained injuries when they lost balance and tried to grab something to prevent falling during hanging curtains on a chair. One patient developed brachial plexus palsy due to prolonged hanging position. Shoulder dislocations were successfully reduced by closed reduction. Both patients were followed-up for 1.5 years, during which no decrease in range of motion, strength loss, or shoulder instability were seen. Housework accidents can lead to bilateral shoulder dislocations especially in elderly patients with balance problems.

A 34-year-old woman presented with severe right-sided pain in the shoulder, arm, neck, and hemithorax, and numbness in her right upper extremity. Systemic radiographs, cervical and brachial plexus magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and thorax computed tomography (CT) did not show any pathology. In a retrospective review of the shoulder MRI sections, an edematous appearance was noted in the right clavicle and adjacent soft tissues, suggesting a stress fracture of the clavicle.

Bending of the nail secondary to trauma is a rare complication encountered in unhealed and comminuted fractures. A 23-year-old man was admitted with refracture of the right femoral shaft and a 32-degree bending of an inflatable intramedullary nail due to a fall, two months after the initial surgical treatment. The nail was first straightened by exerting an external force, which decreased the angulation to 10 degrees. Then, the fracture site was opened, the lateral wall of the nail was drilled, and one of the four metal bars of the nail was cut.

Surgical removal of suture materials and debridement resulted in complete improvement without any complications. The use of thick suture materials and large knots should be avoided in the repair of Achilles tendon ruptures. Polyfilament and absorbable sutures may pose problems due to their tendency to cause bacterial colonization and tissue rejection.

Both patients had no significant complaints at final follow-up examinations made 12 months and 10 months after the second operation in the hip and knee, respectively. Plain radiographs did not show any abnormality in the components of the prostheses. Histopathologic examination of surgical specimens showed brown-black pigment deposits in the connective tissue and cartilage tissue.

It is usually seen in distal extremities of children and youngsters. A 23-year-old male patient underwent surgical excision of a free, painless soft tissue mass that developed in the palmar aspect of the left hand. Histopathologic examination showed fibroblastic proliferation areas and dense collagenous stroma surrounding calcifications and chondroid metaplasia. The diagnosis was made as calcified aponeurotic fibroma. No recurrences were detected within a year follow-up.

He presented with pain and swelling in the left leg. On physical examination, there was a well-defined and immobile mass lesion in the anterolateral part of the left crus, soft in consistency and 20 x 8 x 6 cm in size, showing no relation with the joint. Radiographic evaluation showed linear calcifications in the left crus without osseous pathology. At surgery, all the fibers in the anterior tibial compartment were calcified and there was no attachment to the bone. The patient underwent an excisional biopsy.

Metabolic acidosis in chronic renal failure predisposes these patients to tendon degeneration. A 37-year-old woman who received hemodialysis for chronic renal failure for two years presented with complaints of severe pain in the left hip and inability to walk. She had a history of two consecutive falls in the past two months. On physical examination, there were joint spaces in both suprapatellar areas, active extension of both knees was inhibited, and movements of the left hip were quite painful.

Plain radiographs showed an ossifying cystic formation. Magnetic resonance scans demonstrated a fluid-fluid level. Diagnosis of ossifying subperiosteal hematoma was confirmed with a biopsy in both cases. In the older patient, radiologic studies after 1.5 years showed an increase in the wall thickness of the femoral cyst from 3 mm to 5 mm. In the other patient, cystic formation surrounding the tibia became more prominent at the end of five years. This patient died from multiple lung metastases following chemotherapy and wide resection for Ewing's sarcoma that developed in the right shoulder.

This treatment is performed before achievement of independent walking, under general anesthesia and with arthrographic control. Avoidance of forced reductions and immobilization of the hip with extreme positions is of utmost importance during the procedure. Development of avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femur head is the main parameter affecting the late outcome of the procedure. All modifiable factors should be influenced in favor of the patient to avoid AVN. This method appears to be satisfying with acceptable rates of AVN when applied by experienced pediatric orthopedic surgeons. PMID: 17483620 [PubMed - as supplied by...

Although surgical approaches, fixation and follow-up methods may vary, successful results can be obtained by the algorithm involving the posteromedial approach and arthrographic evaluation. The aim of open reduction by the medial approach should be to obtain Tönnis grade I arthrographic reduction of the dysplastic hip and to maintain it. Avascular necrosis of the femoral head is a potential complication of this method. Even though actual evaluation of this problem requires monitoring patients until maturity, it is essential that special attention be given to the most effecti...

Salter innominate osteotomy is a complete pelvic osteotomy that hinges on the symphysis pubis and results in anterolateral displacement of the acetabulum. The derotated acetabulum is held in place with a bone graft and fixed with Kirschner wires. Salter osteotomy has been performed over four decades and excellent short- and long-term results have been reported from different centers all over the world. Its success is closely related to appropriate patient selection and meticulous surgical technique with strict adherence to prerequisites.

The procedure is a combined one-stage operation including adductor tenotomy, open reduction, femoral shortening, proximal femoral varus-derotation osteotomy and Dega's osteotomy. Radical reduction is a safe and effective procedure for high dislocations with shallow acetabulum.

The early onset of debilitating degenerative changes in the hip joint when treatment options are limited remains the biggest fear. Controversy exists regarding the pathophysiology of this disorder, as well as exactly defining and diagnosing this problem. The natural history of AVN in the setting of DDH is very variable. Current practice concentrates primarily on prevention of this disorder, as there are no reliable ways to intervene at an early stage when changes are potentially reversible. Newer techniques using magnetic reson...

If untreated, this condition will cause problems during maturity. The acetabulum consists of the ilium, ischium, pubis, and the triradiate cartilage lying between them. Interstitial growth from the growth plates of the triradiate cartilage plays an important role in the development of the acetabulum. Concentricity and congruity should be maintained during this development, which is very fast during the first eight years and continues until maturity. Whether residual hip dysplasia will occur can be anticipated by evaluating the factors that are effective on this development during the treatment of developm...

The reason of this abnormal relationship may arise either from the acetabulum (deficiency, maldirection) or the femoral head (aspheric, subluxation, valgus, varus). For this reason, preoperative planning, assessment, and patient selection are very important. Acetabular dysplasia is the main reason for hip osteoarthritis. Overcorrection is an important complication of acetabular osteotomies. This review summarizes different kinds of acetabular osteotomies with relevant presentation of our technique.

However, THA may be difficult due to bone and soft tissue problems that arise from hip dislocation or dysplasia. Another problem is that patients are usually young, which may affect the long-term survival of the prosthesis. Either cemented or uncemented components can be used depending on bone structure and bone stock. Uncemented components are more preferable because of the young age of the patients. From a biomechanical standpoint, the placement of the acetabular component in its true anatomical location is the main goal for survival and better functional results of THA. To as...

A 36-year-old man presented with complaints of pain, swelling, and limited range of motion in the right elbow after a fall. Radiography, computed tomography, and three-dimensional reconstruction of computed tomography images revealed displaced and comminuted fractures in the capitellum and the radial head. The fractures were treated with open reduction via a lateral approach and osteochondral fragments were fixed with Herbert screws. Clinical and radiographic results were excellent at the end of a three-year follow-up.
