Comparison of arthroscopic microfracture and cell-free scaffold implantation techniques in the treatment of talar osteochondral lesions.
CONCLUSION: Both single-step arthroscopic techniques are effective and safe in the treatment of talar OCLs. The scaffold technique showed superior clinical results than the microfracture technique in short-term follow-up. Age, trauma history and gender significantly affected the treatment outcomes. The scaffold technique can be considered as a safe and good alternative particularly in the treatment of large lesions. PMID: 31291856 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Eklem Hastaliklari ve Cerrahisi)

Is routine coracoplasty necessary in isolated subscapularis tears?
CONCLUSION: We believe that concomitant coracoplasty during arthroscopic repair may not be a necessary routine in the treatment of isolated subscapularis tears. PMID: 31291858 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Eklem Hastaliklari ve Cerrahisi)

Biochemical markers decrease and increase disproportionally in A1 pulley tissue of type 2 diabetic trigger finger patients.
CONCLUSION: Our results revealed that tissue SA levels and tissue SH levels decreased and AOPP levels increased disproportionally in the A1 pulley tissue of diabetic patients, which may indicate the role of oxidative protein damage and extracellular matrix changes in diabetic trigger finger etiology.

The use of fourth extensor compartment artery bone flap in Kienb öck's disease.
CONCLUSION: In this study, results of the fourth ECA pedicle bone flap application were found to be effective in the treatment of avascular necrosis of the lunate bone. Further comparative and long-term follow-up studies are required including large and homogeneous patient groups. PMID: 31291860 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Eklem Hastaliklari ve Cerrahisi)

Functional and radiological outcomes of multiple dorsal carpometacarpal fracture dislocations treated with open reduction and internal fixation.
CONCLUSION: Although functional results demonstrated that multiple CMC joint fracture dislocations can be treated with ORIF, the high rate of osteoarthritis is a disadvantage. PMID: 31291861 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Eklem Hastaliklari ve Cerrahisi)

Fit assessment of two different anatomically contoured distal femur plate sets on cadaveric bones.
CONCLUSION: Optimal fit may not be achieved in each femur using current distal femoral plate implant sets. Thus additional sizes of plates should be supplied in the implant sets. PMID: 31291862 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Eklem Hastaliklari ve Cerrahisi)

Clinical, radiological and patient-reported outcomes in intra-articular calcaneal fractures: Comparison of conservative and surgical treatment.
CONCLUSION: Surgical treatment is more effective in intra-articular calcaneus fractures compared to conservative treatment according to clinical, radiological and patient-reported outcomes. In addition, wound problems should be considered in surgical management. PMID: 31291863 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Eklem Hastaliklari ve Cerrahisi)

The reliability of use of WhatsApp in type 1 and type 2 pediatric supracondylar fractures.
CONCLUSION: Using WhatsApp for consulting is a reliable method which can be used in the emergency setting for decision-making. Using WhatsApp can improve the efficacy of medical assessment and reduce waiting time in emergency admissions, although this method is not a substitution for evaluation of the images using computer-based PACS.

Botulinum toxin type A injection increases range of motion in hip, knee and ankle joint contractures of children with cerebral palsy.
CONCLUSION: Botulinum toxin type A injection increases ROM in hip, knee and ankle joint contractures in CP. Although age, gender and functional level may influence the clinical outcomes, pre-treatment level of contracture is the main determinant in improvement in ROM at post-injection.

Comparison of the impact factors of subscription access and open access orthopedics and sports medicine journals in the SCImago database.
CONCLUSION: We can predict that the mean IFs of OA journals in the field of orthopedics and sports medicine will reach the mean IFs of SA journals after several years. Choosing OA journals becomes advantageous when the desire for a higher number of citations is the most important factor. PMID: 31291866 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Eklem Hastaliklari ve Cerrahisi)

Modified percutaneous fixation for displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures.
CONCLUSION: Modified percutaneous fixation can give good results, even when open reduction is contraindicated. Maintaining the alignment and elevating the depressed intra-articular fragment may be sufficient for good mid-term results without anatomic reduction.

Localized pigmented villonodular synovitis with hemorrhage arising from lateral meniscocapsular junction: A case report.
Authors: Kim H, Shin DC, Lee KS, Jang IT, Lee K Abstract Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a benign tumorous condition commonly found in tendon sheathes, bursa, or joint synovium. Unlike the diffuse type which invades the entire synovium of the affected joint, synovium of localized PVNS shows relatively normal appearance. It presents nonspecific symptoms and typically progresses for a long time but acute locking phenomenon or internal derangement of knee symptoms suddenly commence in early stage. In this article, we present a 48-year-old female patient with well-capsulated localized PVNS with intr...
