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)

Medical care following earthquakes: Clinical, organizational, and logistic challenges
Acta Orthop Traumatol Turc. 2023 Nov;57(6):296-300. doi: 10.5152/j.aott.2023.23184.ABSTRACTThe orthopedic load following earthquakes exceeds that caused by any other disaster. This is due to the large number of musculoskeletal injuries due to falling debris, coupled with the widespread damage to general and medical infrastructure, causing a huge imbalance between surgical needs and the ability to address these needs, necessitating a switch in mindset and operational mode. Clinically, the operational mode will be that of damage control surgery, considering "life before limb" with only lifesaving and limb-saving procedures b...

Orthopedic surgery in disaster
Acta Orthop Traumatol Turc. 2023 Nov;57(6):301-305. doi: 10.5152/j.aott.2023.23199.ABSTRACTOrthopedic injuries are a common occurrence in disasters. 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...
