Oxygen tensiometry as a predictor of wound healing in total ankle arthroplasty.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: Oxygen tensiometry is not thought to be useful for predicting patients at risk for postoperative wound healing complications after TAA, suggesting that, if adequate pulses are present before surgery, the trauma of using excessive superficial traction on the skin during surgery is more responsible for wound healing problems than the underlying blood supply.

[An analysis of meniscal extrusion and associated knee joint lesions by magnetic resonance imaging]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: Meniscal extrusion is a common finding particularly in osteoarthritis. It is mostly seen in the medial meniscus and accompanied by radial tears. Therefore, its presence should alert to the possibility of a radial tear extending to the meniscal root. PMID: 19881318 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Acta Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica)

[Percutaneous iliolumbar screw fixation in a patient with unstable pelvic fracture and transitional lumbar vertebrae and cadaveric illustration of the fixation]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Unstable pelvic ring fractures cause high rates of morbidity and mortality. 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 postope...

[Isolated synovial chondromatosis of the proximal tibiofibular joint]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Synovial chondromatosis is a chronic, progressive disease of the synovial tissue where free chondral loose bodies are formed after metaplasia. 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 ...

[A rare nerve variation: duplication of the digital nerves in the index finger]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We present a 36-year-old male patient who had an anatomic variation in the number of digital nerves in the index finger of the left hand. 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 s...

Among radiolucent lesions of the carpal bones, intraosseous ganglions are the most frequent. 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 ...

[The effect of tibial lengthening on gastrosoleus muscle function: an electrophysiological study.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: In clinical applications of tibial lengthening, the strength of the gastrosoleus complex should be preserved to prevent equines deformity and maintain ankle functions. 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.

We present two cases of simultaneous bilateral anterior shoulder dislocations caused by housework accidents. 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 dislocatio...

We report a case of stress fracture of the clavicle in which diagnosis was delayed due to the unusual localization of pain and absence of predisposing risk factors. 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 ...
