Distal radius fractures: What are the effects of ulnar styloid fracture and face-toface rehabilitation on the functional outcome?
CONCLUSION: This study has suggested that accompanying ulnar styloid fractures may worsen the functional outcomes after plate fixation of distal radius fractures. Home-based programs may provide patients with adequate overall wrist function with certain drawbacks compared to rehabilitation under direct supervision.PMID:38454215 | PMC:PMC10837576 | DOI:10.5152/j.aott.2023.21245 (Source: Acta Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica)

A new femur intramedullary nail with tube and coil spring for maximum interfragmentary rotational and axial stability after fracture site resorption
CONCLUSION: The CARES nail having additional coil springs seems significantly biomechanically superior to compression nails and interlocking nails, providing maximum rotational, axial stability, and interfragment compression after fracture site resorption.PMID:38454216 | PMC:PMC10837580 | DOI:10.5152/j.aott.2023.23055 (Source: Acta Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica)

Feasibility of diagnosing osteoporosis using routine computed tomography scans for hip fractures: Correlation with histopathological diagnosis of head and neck regions
CONCLUSION: The results of the present study suggest that conventional CT has the potential to serve as a diagnostic tool for osteoporosis and may offer a more precise and accurate method for evaluating the success of intraosseous implants when compared to T-scores without the need for additional tests or procedures.PMID:38454217 | PMC:PMC10837590 | DOI:10.5152/j.aott.2023.23126 (Source: Acta Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica)

In the aftermath of a disaster, there may be a large number of patients with orthopedic injuries, and the health-care system may be overwhelmed. This review hopes to provide a review of modern concepts in disaster orthopedics.PMID:38454210 | PMC:PMC10837602 | DOI:10.5152/j.aott.2023.23199 (Source: Acta Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica)

Destructive disasters, trauma, crush syndrome, and beyond
Acta Orthop Traumatol Turc. 2023 Nov;57(6):305-314. doi: 10.5152/j.aott.2023.23147.ABSTRACTOrthopedic injuries, especially fractures of long bones as well as multiple fractures and comminuted fractures, are very common after destructive disasters (e.g., earthquakes, wars, and hurricanes). Another frequent problem is traumatic rhabdomyolysis, which may result in crush syndrome, the second most frequent cause of death after direct traumatic impact following earthquakes. To improve outcomes, interventions should be initiated even before extrication of the victims, which include maintenance of airway patency and spine stabiliz...

The initial response of a local hospital in the earthquake zone during the February 6, 2023 Kahramanmara ş earthquakes: Injuries and challenges
CONCLUSION: This study has shown us that injuries following major earthquakes are of a wide spectrum and occur in large numbers and in a very short time. Even in a well-equipped hospital that is not affected by an earthquake, there are many barriers to appropriate management. The first 24 hours after an earthquake are critical. This period should be kept in mind while organizing and taking necessary precautions, and early responses to earthquakes should be meticulously planned.PMID:38454212 | PMC:PMC10837596 | DOI:10.5152/j.aott.2023.23138 (Source: Acta Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica)

Closed versus medial open reduction in the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip under age 1: A retrospective comparative study
CONCLUSION: There is no difference in the avascular necrosis rate and FCS requirements between CR and MOR under age 1. Post-spica MRI is a favorable tool for evaluating reduction after CR, but its efficacy after MOR is questionable.PMID:38454213 | PMC:PMC10837516 | DOI:10.5152/j.aott.2023.22151 (Source: Acta Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica)
