Outcomes for core decompression with multiple drilling of the osteonecrosis of the femoral head in patients with solid organ transplantation.
CONCLUSION: Although multiple drilling is a safe and minimally invasive surgery, its effect is limited, particularly in solid organ transplantation patients with ONFH due to long-term corticosteroid use. Therefore, solid organ transplantation patients should be closely monitored in terms of ONFH development.

Does median nerve translate pre- and postoperatively in carpal tunnel syndrome?
CONCLUSION: In carpal tunnel syndrome patients, we observed significant ulnar translation of the median nerve and lateral translation after releasing the carpal tunnel. Magnetic resonance imaging may be used to establish a diagnosis and to assess operation success in advanced carpal tunnel syndrome patients who may recover slowly postoperatively.

Osteoprotegerin and 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels in patients with diabetic foot.
CONCLUSION: Elevated levels of OPG in patients with diabetic foot may display the severity of the clinical status due to its positive correlation with CRP and creatinine. We detected severe 25(OH)D deficiency in the majority of diabetic foot patients. Vitamin D supplementation may be required in diabetic foot patients to prevent unfavorable immunologic alterations.

Diabetes mellitus accelerates fatty degeneration of the supraspinatus muscle after tendon tear: An experimental study in rats.
CONCLUSION: The results of this study showed that DM accelerates intramuscular fatty degeneration after SS tendon tears. Fatty degeneration should be monitored closely in diabetic patients with rotator cuff tear who were selected for conservative treatment and early surgical treatment should be considered as an option.

Prognostic significance of maximum standardized uptake value on 18F-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography in bone sarcomas.
CONCLUSION: Semiquantitative estimation of primary tumor metabolic activity in terms of baseline SUVmax using 18FDG-PET/CT can predict the overall survival of patients with bone sarcoma.

Extracranial location of the osteoma: Patella, case report and literature review.
Authors: Ayas MS, Gül O, Dada ME
Abstract
Osteoma is a benign tumor. Extracranial cases are very rare. Twelve cases have been reported by 10 different authors in the literature. To our knowledge, osteoma was never reported in the patella. In this article, we report a 61-year-old male patient who presented with a painless mass in the patella of his right knee, which appeared almost four years before and showed a progressive enlargement in the past six months. Range of motion (ROM) of the joint was limited. Marginal excision was performed under regional anesthesia and the histopathological evaluation of the...

Triple nonunion after steel-like triple pelvic osteotomy.
Authors: Özcan Ö, Yeşil M, Altın R
Abstract
Triple pelvic osteotomy (TPO) is a widely known and accepted procedure carried out to treat acetabular dysplasia in adults. According to this technique, osteotomies are performed through the ischium, ilium and pubis in order to mobilize the whole acetabulum. In this article, we report a 30-year-old female patient who was admitted to our outpatient clinic with a complaint of intense pain after standing or walking. Patient had undergone Steel-like TPO for acetabular dysplasia approximately nine months before. After physical and radiological evaluation, patient ...

Evaluation of clinical outcomes of cemented vs uncemented knee prostheses covered with titanium plasma spray and hydroxyapatite: A minimum two years follow-up.
CONCLUSION: We used the combination of titanium plasma spray and the hydroxyapatite porous coating technique in cementless prostheses. Our results showed us that the novel SanatSwing cementless total knee prosthesis could be a great alternative to cemented total knee arthroplasty.

Antibiotic release and antibacterial efficacy in cement spacers and cement beads impregnated with different techniques: In vitro study.
CONCLUSION: Cement beads provide superior antibiotic release regardless of cement type or preparation method. Simplex P® cement has lower anti-bacterial efficiency than Biomet®. Different methods for cement and antibiotics mixing and addition of extra vancomycin into the commercially drug loaded cement do not have any effect on the results.

How is hip prosthesis and proximal femoral nail stability affected by lesser trochanter fractures: A comparative finite element analysis.
CONCLUSION: Hip prosthesis models with intact or fractured LT were similar in terms of stress distribution and deformation values, while there were differences between PFN models with intact or fractured LT. Thus, intact LT was significant in PFN implant stability. Further clinical and experimental analyses are necessary on this topic.

Effect of intramedullary nail compression amount on the union process of tibial shaft fracture and the evaluation of this effect with a different parameter.
CONCLUSION: Interlocking compression intramedullary nailing is a very effective treatment method for tibial shaft fractures. As the compression applied by the nail increases, the time of union shortens significantly.

Association between patellofemoral congruence and patellofemoral chondropathy in patients with anterior knee pain: A T2 mapping knee MRI study.
CONCLUSION: Based on our study findings, the T2 mapping magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique was found to be reliable test that can be used to diagnose early cartilage damage in patients with anterior knee pain. In patients with anterior knee pain, especially with decreased Insall Salvatti index, low lateral trochlear inclination angle, and higher patellar tilt angle, adding a T2 mapping sequence to the standard knee MRI protocol is recommended to help detect early cartilage damage.

Can distal radius or vertebra fractures due to low-energy trauma be a harbinger of a hip fracture?
CONCLUSION: Distal radius and vertebra fractures are the harbingers of a potential hip fracture. Physicians, especially orthopedists, who face with these fractures should be careful in terms of osteoporosis.

A comparative study of three commonly used fixation techniques for isolated medial malleolus fracture.
CONCLUSION: Union rate in the group who were operated with fully threaded cannulated headless compression screws was significantly shorter than the other groups. This study has shown that tension band wiring and partially threaded cannulated compression screws can cause irritation of soft tissues and pain over the hardware implantation site. Patients with low BMI are vulnerable for implant-related complications.
