Are orthobiologics the next chapter in clinical orthopedics? A literature review.
Authors: Sezgin EA, Atik OŞ
Abstract
Orthobiologics are biologically derived materials which aim to promote healing and regeneration of tissues that are the focus of orthopedic surgery. Since bones, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage have different healing and regeneration characteristics, treatment strategies and clinical problems related to these tissues greatly differ. Although orthobiolgics are an old concept, most of the advancements in this field have been accomplished within the last two decades. A large number of promising laboratory studies show that orthobiolics hold a great potential in launchin...

Reconstruction of the Achilles tendon using quadriceps tendon graft in bilateral xanthomas secondary to familial hypercholesterolemia: A case report.
In this report, we present a case of bilateral Achilles tendon xanthoma secondary to familial hypercholesterolemia and resection along with a portion of the Achilles tendon. The patient was a 49-year-old male who presented to our clinic with complaints of difficulty walking and swelling in both heels. The swellings had started insidiously without a trauma history. The xanthomas were operated at different time points, albeit with the same surgical technique. Quadriceps tendon graft and flexor hallucis longus transfer was used for autografting. Xanthoma should be considered in cases with swellings in the Achilles tendon. Tot...

Bilateral congenital dislocation of the patella associated with synostosis of proximal tibiofibular and proximal radioulnar joints: A case report.
We present a case of bilateral congenital dislocation of the patella with synostosis of proximal tibiofibular and proximal radioulnar joints without genu valgum deformity of both knees in a 30-year-old man. To our knowledge, congenital dislocation of the patella associated with synostosis of proximal tibiofibular and proximal radioulnar joints has not been reported in the literature yet.

Comparison of different fixation methods of bicolumnar acetabular fractures.
CONCLUSION: In double column fractures, if the reduction does not require an anterior approach, it is not necessary to fix the iliac wing fracture only to improve the stability of the fixation. If the reduction does require an anterior approach, it is worth fixing the iliac wing fracture with the technically less demanding screw fixation.

Surgical reconstruction of hip subluxation and dislocation in children with cerebral palsy.
CONCLUSION: In CP patients, reconstruction of hip subluxation and dislocation with femoral VDRO and Dega transiliac osteotomy establish femoroacetabular congruency. Without any cast immobilization, early physical therapy is encouraged for immediate recovery.

Effects of low molecular weight heparin and rivaroxaban on rat Achilles tendon healing.
CONCLUSION: Histopathological examination revealed that both LMWH and rivaroxaban have positive effects on tendon healing. However, the same positive effects were not detected in biomechanical examination.

Local application of tranexamic acid affects tendon healing negatively in the late period.
CONCLUSION: In this study, we detected that locally administered TA has an adverse effect on tendon healing in late period. However, further immunohistochemical and biomechanical studies are needed to support these results.

Epidermoid cysts localized on extremities.
CONCLUSION: Epidermoid cysts are most frequently localized on the hands. They may also be atypically localized with different dimensions and characteristics. Well definition of the cyst margins and characteristics and avoiding intraoperative rupture while excising the cyst together with the cutaneous islet are essential to reduce possible postoperative complications and relapse ratios.

Chondrosarcomas of the phalanges of the hand.
CONCLUSION: The hand localization of chondrosarcomas is rare with scarce information in the literature. Their metastasis potential is low but local recurrence rates are high after insufficient surgery. Amputation or ray amputation is the applicable treatment.

Obese patients require higher, but not high pneumatic tourniquet inflation pressures using a novel technique during total knee arthroplasty.
CONCLUSION: Compared to non-obese patients, higher tourniquet inflation pressure is required in obese patients during TKA due to their wider extremity circumference and higher systolic blood pressure profile.

Effects of a lateral row anchor position on the suture holding strength of a double-row knotless fixation in rotator cuff repair.
CONCLUSION: A horizontal lateral row anchor positioned closer to the medial anchor resulted in less cyclic elongation when compared to a more vertically positioned lateral row anchor. The vertical or oblique positioning of the lateral row anchor did not result in any increase in the failure load value; however, the vertical placement prevented a suture pull through the lateral row anchor.

Basic principles of fracture treatment in children.
Authors: Ömeroğlu H
Abstract
This review aims to summarize the basic treatment principles of fractures according to their types and general management principles of special conditions including physeal fractures, multiple fractures, open fractures, and pathologic fractures in children. Definition of the fracture is needed for better understanding the injury mechanism, planning a proper treatment strategy, and estimating the prognosis. As the healing process is less complicated, remodeling capacity is higher and non-union is rare, the fractures in children are commonly treated by non-surgical methods. Sur...
