Öğe Anterior Inferior Iliac Spine Avulsion Fracture A Series of 5 Cases(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015) Serbest, Sancar; Tosun, Haci Bayram; Tiftikci, Ugur; Oktas, Birhan; Kesgin, EnginAvulsion fractures of the pelvic apophyses rarely occur in adolescent athletes in the course of sudden strong contraction of muscle attached to growth cartilage. This injury may usually be misdiagnosed for tendon or muscle strain. Patient's history, physical examination, and radiologic studies are important for diagnosis. The literature includes only a few case reports but no case series as yet. The aim of this study was to present the results of 5 cases of anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) avulsion fractures treated conservatively. The study included 5 patients (4 male, 1 female, mean age 13.6 years) who underwent conservative treatment for AIIS avulsion fractures and had an adequate follow-up. All patients were admitted to the emergency department and misdiagnosed as muscle strain. Three of them were football player, 1 skier, and 1 fighter. Each patient was treated with immobilization and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. At follow-up, all patients showed relief from their pain and mechanical symptoms and regained full range of motion and returned to their previous levels of activity. Diagnosis requires careful attention to the physical examination and imaging. In this series, all pelvic avulsion fractures (100%) were managed successfully with a conservative approach. Good results and return to previous levels of activity can be achieved with conservative treatment.Öğe Closed reduction and intramedullary pinning in the treatment of adult radial neck(African Field Epidemiology Network-Afenet, 2015) Serbest, Sancar; Gurger, Murat; Tosun, Haci Bayram; Karakurt, LokmanClosed reduction and intramedullary pinning ( CIMP) in pediatric radial neck fractures was first reported by Metaizeau in 1980 andsatisfactory results have been published several times. The current literature did not encounter any publication related to the implementation of Metaizeau method to adult patients. We applied Metaizeau technique to an adult radial neck fracture and we have achieved satisfactory results. As this case report is single case of this method applied to an adult, we decided to present this case.Öğe Comparative Study of Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis (MIPO) and Intramedullary Nailing (IMN) for Treating Extraarticular Distal Tibial Fractures: Clinical and Radiological Outcomes(Int Scientific Information, Inc, 2023) Kaya, Oguz; Tosun, Haci Bayram; Kurum, Hueseyin; Serbest, Sancar; Uludag, Abuzer; Ayas, OrhanBackground: Treatment of extra-articular distal tibial fractures is problematic owing to limited soft tissue cover, poor vascularity of the location, and adjacency to the ankle, and thus continues to be controversial. This study aimed to compare clinical and radiological outcomes in 69 patients with extra-articular distal tibia fractures treated with minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) and an interlocking intramedullary nail (IMN).Material/Methods: Sixty-nine patients, with mean of age 39.8 +/- 18.3 years, were retrospectively evaluated. Thirty-five patients were treated with IMN, and 34 patients were treated with MIPO. Clinical and radiological outcomes were evaluated.Results: The average follow-up was 13.3 +/- 6 months and union time was 16.2 +/- 5.4 weeks. Nonunion was observed in only 4.3% of patients treated with MIPO (P=0.114). Non-acceptable malalignment of extremity was observed in 4.3% of patients with IMN and 7.2% of patients with MIPO. There were no significant differences in union time, nonunion, surgical timing, operating time, malalignment, and complications between groups (P>0.05). The mean American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) surgery score was 95.8 +/- 5 in IMN and 91.9 +/- 14.3 in MIPO. AOFAS, Tenny-Wiss radiological, and Ovadia-Beals clinical scores were better in IMN than MIPO (P=0.019, P=0.03, P=0.02, respectively). Mean time of full weight-bearing and of return to daily life with IMN was significantly shorter than with MIPO (P<0.001).Conclusions: IMN and MIPO methods are reliable and effective methods with similar good results in the surgical treatment of extra-articular distal tibia fractures. However, IMN may be preferred for early full weight-bearing and early return to daily life (P<0.001).Öğe Comparison of the effects of sodium hyaluronate-chondroitin sulphate and corticosteroid in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis: a prospective randomized trial(Elsevier, 2015) Tosun, Haci Bayram; Gumustas, Seyitali; Agir, Ismail; Uludag, Abuzer; Serbest, Sancar; Pepele, Demet; Ertem, KadirBackground Hyaluronic acid and glycosaminoglycans have shown positive effects in improving lateral epicondylitis and other tendinosis conditions. Therefore, we designed a prospective, randomized study to compare the effects of a combined sodium hyaluronate and chondroitin sulfate (HA + CS) injection versus a triamcinolone injection in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis. Methods In total, 57 consecutive patients with clinically diagnosed lateral epicondylitis were divided randomly into two groups. In the HA + CS group, 25 patients received a single injection of a solution containing an HA + CS combination and prilocaine HCl, while the 32 patients in the triamcinolone group received a single injection of a solution of triamcinolone and prilocaine HCl. We evaluated the pain and function outcome measures using the Patient-Rated Tennis Elbow Evaluation (PRTEE) questionnaire at the beginning of the study, and 3 and 6 months after the injection. Additionally, the Minimum Clinically Important Difference values and percentage changes in the PRTEE subscale scores between the assessments were calculated. Results No serious adverse events were reported throughout the study. The mean pain and function scores for the HA + CS and triamcinolone groups had significantly improved at 3 months, but the mean function scores in the HA + CS group were statistically significantly better when compared to the triamcinolone group. At 6 months, both groups had significantly improved mean pain and function scores, compared to the baseline scores; however, the mean pain and function scores in the 6-month HA + CS treatment group were better than in the 6-month triamcinolone group. The relative change for the mean total score in the HA + CS group was much better when compared with the triamcinolone group, and the HA + CS treatment group showed clinically significant improvement when compared with triamcinolone group at 3 and 6 months. Conclusions This study supports the idea that for a single injection treatment of patients with lateral epicondylitis, a combination injection of HA + CS may offer better pain benefits for 6 months after injection, when compared to triamcinolone. Type of study/level of evidence Level II, Randomized Clinical Trial, Prospective Comparative Study.Öğe Comparison of the Locking Intramedullary Nailing, Single Plate and Double Plate Osteosynthesis in Treatment of Humerus Shaft Fractures(Coll Physicians & Surgeons Pakistan, 2023) Tosun, Haci Bayram; Serbest, Sancar; Yasar, Mehmet Mete; Uludag, Abuzer; Ersoz, GalipObjective: To compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes between patients treated with single plate osteosynthesis, double plate osteosynthesis, and antegrade locked intramedullary nailing (IMN) in treatment of humerus diaphyseal fractures. Study Design: Descriptive study. Place and Duration of the Study: Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Adiyaman University Training and Research Hospital, Adiyaman, Turkey, between 2014 and 2020. Methodology: A total of 99 patients with humerus diaphyseal fractures were retrospectively evaluated. Forty- six had been treated with single plating, 24 were treated with double plating, and 29 with IMN. The outcomes were evaluated in terms of the union time, union rate, complications, and Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) functional scores. Results: The average union time was 17 weeks and nonunion rate was 6% of patients. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of DASH functional score and nonunion (p >0.05). The surgical time and bleeding amount were significantly shorter in the IMN group compared to the other groups (p <0.05). A statistically significantly short union time was observed in both plating groups compared to IMN (p <0.05), but it was not different between single and dual plating (p >0.05). Conclusion: Regardless of the implant used, good reduction and stable fixation, respect for the soft tissue and use of the implant in accordance with the surgical technique are sufficient to achieve union in the surgical treatment of humeral shaft fractures.Öğe Comparison of various tendon repair techniques in extansor zone 3 injuries: an experimental biomechanical cadaver study(SPRINGER, 2020) Uludag, Abuzer; Tosun, Haci Bayram; Celik, Suat; Serbest, Sancar; Kayalar, Murat; Aytac, Gunes; Sindel, MuzafferPurpose To compare five different repair techniques for extensor tendon zone III modified Kessler (MK), double-modified Kessler (DMK), modified Kessler epitendinous (MKE), double-modified Kessler epitendinous (DMKE), and running-interlocking horizontal mattress (RIHM) in terms of shortening, stiffness, gap formation, and ultimate load to failure. Methods A total of 35 human cadaver fingers were randomly assigned to five suture techniques with 7 fingers each and were tested under dynamic and static loading conditions. Results DMK was found to be superior over MK in terms of ultimate load to failure (36 N vs. 24 N, respectively), shortening (1.75 vs. 2.20 mm, respectively) and gap formation. However, these two methods had similar characteristics in terms of stiffness. The addition of epitendinous sutures to the repair methods resulted in approximately 40% increase in ultimate load to failure, whereas epitendinous sutures had no effect on shortening. DMKE was found to be superior over MKE in terms of shortening (1.77 vs. 2.22 mm, respectively). However, these two methods had similar characteristics in terms of mean ultimate load to failure and stiffness. RIHM was found to be superior over the other four methods in terms of ultimate load to failure (89 N), stiffness, and shortening (0.75 mm). Conclusion RIHM was found to be stronger and more durable for extensor tendon zone III than the other techniques in terms of ultimate load to failure and stiffness.Öğe Dislocation of a revision total knee arthroplasty: rare but serious complication(African Field Epidemiology Network-Afenet, 2015) Serbest, Sancar; Tosun, Haci Bayram…Öğe The effect of sodium hyaluronate-chondroitin sulfate combined solution on cartilage formation in osteochondral defects of the rabbit knee: an experimental study(Dove Medical Press Ltd, 2017) Tosun, Haci Bayram; Gurger, Murat; Gumustas, Seyit Ali; Uludag, Abuzer; Ucer, Ozlem; Serbest, Sancar; Celik, SuatObjective: In focal cartilage lesions, multipotent mesenchymal stem cells in bone marrow are aimed to be moved into the defect area using subchondral drilling or microfracture method. However, repaired tissue insufficiently fills the defect area or cannot meet natural hyaline tissue functions, due to fibrous structure. We investigated the effect of a combined solution of sodium hyaluronate + chondroitin sulfate (HA+CS) administered intra-articularly after subchondral drilling on newly formed cartilage in rabbits with focal osteochondral defects. Materials and methods: A total of 32 New Zealand White mature rabbits, whose weights ranged from 2.5 to 3 kg, were randomly divided into four groups. Full-thickness osteochondral defect was formed in the left-knee medial femur condyles of all rabbits. Subchondral drilling was then performed. The following treatment protocol was administered intra-articularly on knee joints on days 7, 14, and 21 after surgery: group 1, 0.3 mL combined solution of HA+CS (20 mg CS combined with 16 mg HA/mL); group 2, 0.3 mL HA (16 mg/mL); group 3, 0.3 mL CS (20 mg/mL); and group 4 (control group), 0.3 mL saline solution. In the sixth week, all animals were killed and then evaluated histopathologically and biochemically. Results: There was significant articular cartilage formation in the HA+CS group compared to the HA, CS, and control groups. Hyaline cartilage formation was observed only in the HA+CS group. Cartilage-surface continuity and smoothness were significantly higher in the HA+CS and HA groups compared to the other groups. Normal cartilage mineralization was found to be significantly higher in the HA+CS group compared to the other groups. Increased levels of VEGFA and IL-1 beta in synovial fluid were observed in the HA+CS group. Conclusion: After subchondral drilling, intra-articular HA-CS combination therapy is a good choice to promote better quality new cartilage-tissue formation in the treatment of focal osteochondral defects.Öğe Effectiveness of Iloprost in the Treatment of Bone Marrow Edema(CUREUS INC, 2020) Tosun, Haci Bayram; Uludag, Abuzer; Demir, Sukru; Serbest, Sancar; Yasar, Mehmet Mete; Oznam, KadirBackground and objective Bone marrow edema (BME) is a rare condition caused by insufficient osseous blood supply and may result in severe pain that has adverse effects on patients' life. To date, various conservative treatments have been recommended for the treatment of BME, including analgesics, immobilization of the affected extremity, and iloprost infusion. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the effectiveness of parenteral iloprost therapy in the treatment of BME detected in different skeletal locations. Materials and methods This retrospective study included 23 patients (17 men and six women) with BME who were classified as stage I-III according to the Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) classification. BME was localized to the proximal femur in 13 (56.5%), the distal femur in four (17.4%), tarsal bone in four (17.4%), and tibial plateau in two (8.7%) patients. The mean age of the patients was 46.7 years and all the patients were evaluated with the Visual Analog scale (VAS), Functional Mobility Scale (FMS), and MRI. Results A significant improvement was observed in the post-treatment VAS and FMS scores of all patients compared to their pre-treatment scores. Moreover, the edema regressed completely in 60.9% of the patients at three months of MRI control. No serious side effects were observed during the treatment in any of the patients. However, transient side effects including headache, arrhythmia, and flushing were observed in five patients. Conclusion The present study indicated that iloprost therapy is an effective and safe option in the treatment of BME patients, particularly in the reduction of severe pain that has adverse effects on patients' social life, regardless of ARCO staging. Moreover, this therapy could be particularly useful in reducing pain, improving functional recovery, and achieving complete regression of the edema on MRI in ARCO stage I-II patients.Öğe Femur neck fracture in young adults, is it really an urgent surgery indication: retrospective clinical study(African Field Epidemiology Network-Afenet, 2018) Gumustas, Seyitali; Tosun, Haci Bayram; Isyar, Mehmet; Serbest, Sancar; Oznam, Kadir; Bulut, GuvenIntroduction: Femur neck fracture comprises a significant part of intracapsular femur fracture in the intracapsular area of proximal femur and it is mostly seen in elder people. However, these kinds of fractures may be seen in young adults. The present study aims to search factors that affect femoral neck fractures in young adults after surgery carried out by internal determination method. Methods: Files of patients who were applied internal determination through closed reduction and cannulated screw because of intracapsular femur neck fractures between 2010 and 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. Fractures were evaluated by means of Garden classification, which is based on radiological appearance. The cases were examined in terms of timing of surgery in two groups. Cases operated in the first 24 hours after trauma consisted of group 1 and after 24 hours group 2. Radiological staging in femoral head avascular necrosis was evaluated by ficat-Arlet classification system whereas acetabular fractures and hip functionality was evaluated by Letournel and Judet system, which is based on direct graph of fracture line. Results: Mean age at the time of surgery for 31 cases included in the study was 40.04 9.63 year. The average duration from injury to surgery was 6.6 (1-20) days. Thirty nine percent of fractures was nondisplaced whereas 61% was displaced. The average follow-up period was 4.9 1.35 years. The rate of nonunion was found 16% and femoral head avascular necrosis 6.4%. According to Judet System, 67.7% of cases showed excellent/good and 32.3% moderate/bad functional results. Six cases had a secondary surgery. Cases who had displaced fractures statistically showed worse functional results and underwent more secondary surgery than patients with nondisplaced fractures (P>0.05). As a result of logistic regression analysis, presence of displacement was a factor negatively affecting the judet score but did not affect the rate of complication. There were no significant differences between the two groups according to the surgical timing in terms of functional outcomes and complications. Conclusion: Because of surgical treatment of femoral neck fractures in the first 24 hours does not affect functional outcomes and complication rate, surgery is recommended in optimal conditions. In the case of displacement, care must be taken in terms of poor functional results.Öğe Fixator-assisted tibial lengthening over a plate in a patient with sequelae of poliomyelitis(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2016) Tosun, Haci Bayram; Serbest, Sancar; Uludag, Abuzer; Gumustas, Seyitali; Celik, SuatThere are many techniques for limb lengthening. Lengthening over a plate is an alternative choice of fixation in children or when nailing is difficult. We present a new technique for tibial lengthening with using a monolateral external fixator over a lengthening plate. Lengthening over an intramedullary nail is a commonly used method in patients with short stature or limb-length discrepancy. However, in patients with a narrow and excessively sclerotic intramedullary cavity in the pediatric age group where the skeletal system has not yet fully developed, difficulties have been observed in lengthening methods with nailing. Therefore, in these cases, the use of lengthening techniques over a plate is an alternative treatment option. Nevertheless, in lengthening techniques over a plate, if one side of the osteotomy area cannot be fixed, associated mechanical axis problems have been reported. We applied tibia lengthening with external fixator assistance over a custom-made lengthening plate in a patient with sequelae of poliomyelitis. This new lengthening technique applied over a plate could be the solution to the problems observed in other lengthening techniques over a plate.Öğe Giant malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor of thigh in an adolescent with neurofibromatosis type 1: a case report(Dove Medical Press Ltd, 2015) Tosun, Haci Bayram; Serbest, Sancar; Turk, Bilge Aydin; Gumustas, Seyit Ali; Uludag, AbuzerMalignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) are rare sarcomas of children and adolescents, and they are aggressive tumors with a high rate of local recurrence. We present a 15-year-old boy with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), who had a giant MPNST on the right thigh taking into account the available literature. Diagnosis of MPNST may be delayed in NF1 patients due to confusion with a neurofibroma and/or a plexiform neurofibroma. Malignancy should be considered, especially in cases with big masses, with heterogeneous involvement, or in the presence of cysts or necrotic nodules. The aim of surgical treatment is complete surgical excision.Öğe The Irisin Hormone Profile and Expression in Human Bone Tissue in the Bone Healing Process in Patients(Int Scientific Information, Inc, 2017) Serbest, Sancar; Tiftikci, Ugur; Tosun, Haci Bayram; Kisa, UclerBackground: Whether or not there is a relationship between the newly-discovered irisin hormone and bone healing is not yet known. The aim of this study was to investigate what effect irisin hormone has on the bone healing process. Material/Methods: The study included 21 adult patients with a diagnosed fracture of the lower extremity (femur or tibia). Informed consent was obtained from all the patients. A total of four venous blood samples were taken from the patients: before fracture stabilization, then postoperatively on days 1, 10, and 60. In patients with femoral neck fracture who had hip prosthesis applied, bone tissue samples were taken from the removed femur head and irisin was determined immunohistochemically in muscle biopsies taken from the same patients. Results: In analysis, it was revealed that the mean value of irisin 60 days after operation is significantly higher than the values of irisin before operation, 1 day after operation, and 15 day after operation (p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, respectively). Intense staining was observed in compact bone tissue, muscle tissue, and in hypertrophic vascular endothelium within the Havers canal. Conclusions: The level of irisin hormone increased in the bone union process and affects fracture healing due to irisin receptors in human bone tissue.Öğe Is there a relationship between fracture healing and mean platelet volume?(Dove Medical Press Ltd, 2016) Serbest, Sancar; Tiftikci, Ugur; Tosun, Haci Bayram; Gumustas, Seyit Ali; Uludag, AbuzerObjectives: Platelet volume has been defined to be a marker that shows thrombocyte activation and function and it is measured as mean platelet volume (MPV). MPV shows the mean volume of circulating thrombocytes and it is one of the routine parameters in complete blood count. Increased thrombocyte volume is associated with thrombocyte activation. Patients and methods: This study included 76 patients who were operated on due to fractures of long tubular bones. Patients who had union without any additional interventions were defined as group I, and patients who needed additional interventions due to nonunion or inadequate union were defined as group II. The control group included healthy volunteers who did not have a fracture. Hematologic test values of the patients that were obtained at admission to emergency ward were recorded. Results: The groups were not statistically different in terms of age, sex, and the affected extremity. There were significant differences between group I and group II in terms of mean erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, and MPV values (P<0.001), but there were no significant differences between group I and the control group. There was also no statistically significant difference among groups in terms of hematologic and biochemical variables. Conclusion: In our study, fractures in patients who had lower MPV values than controls during the inflammation process healed without any problem, but fractures in patients with high MPV values more frequently needed additional surgical interventions.Öğe Isolated posterior malleolus fracture: a rare injury mechanism(African Field Epidemiology Network-Afenet, 2015) Serbest, Sancar; Tiftikci, Ugur; Tosun, Haci Bayram; Kesgin, Engin; Karatas, MetinSprain of the ankle is undoubtedly a common injury during athletic activity, and the sprain can be also associated with fracture of the ankle. Isolated posterior malleolus fracture is a very rare condition, which is usually missed. Here, we are presenting a 37 years old female patient, who suffered injury secondary pressing on brake pedal during collision in a traffic accident. Clinical evaluation is based on Ottawa Ankle Rules and a fracture is diagnosed; patient is started on daily activities at postoperative Week 8. This study aims to emphasize that Ottawa Ankle Rules are usually efficient for evaluating fractures of ankle, but clinicians should always make a detailed physical examination.Öğe Learning Curve for Surgical Treatment of Acetabular Fractures: A Retrospective Clinical Study of a Practical and Theoretical Training Course(Int Scientific Information, Inc, 2017) Tosun, Haci Bayram; Serbest, Sancar; Gumustas, Seyit Ali; Uludag, Abuzer; Celik, SuatBackground: Surgical treatment of acetabular fracture and the anatomic reconstruction of the hip joint are difficult to achieve due to the complex pelvic anatomy, and surgical training requires a prolonged and steep learning curve. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of an applied training course, including cadaveric dissection, for the surgical treatment of acetabular fractures. Material/Methods: This retrospective study included 35 patients who underwent surgical treatment for acetabulum fractures between 2012-2016. Patients were divided into three groups during two training courses, for the first two years and second two years. The surgical treatment was performed through single or combined standard approaches, according to the fracture pattern. The radiological outcome was evaluated using Matta's criteria to grade postoperative reduction and final radiological outcome and the restoration of the hip joint center (HJC). The clinical outcome was evaluated using the modified the Merle d'Aubigne-Postel (DAP) hip score. Results: Both post-course groups had statistically better functional and radiological outcomes compared with the precourse group. Depending on the learning curve, the mean duration of surgery decreased from 153 minutes to 82.3 minutes. Although there was no statistical difference between groups in the vertical shift of the HJC, there was a statistically significant in the amount of horizontal shift of the HJC in the second two years of training, compared with the other groups. Conclusions: Functional and radiological outcome of surgical treatment of acetabular fracture may be improved with increased training, depending on the learning curve.Öğe A neglected case of giant synovial chondromatosis in knee joint(African Field Epidemiology Network-Afenet, 2015) Serbest, Sancar; Tiftikci, Ugur; Karaaslan, Fatih; Tosun, Haci Bayram; Sevinc, Huseyin Fatih; Balci, MahiSynovial chondromatosis is a rare benign condition arising from the synovial membrane of the joints, synovial sheaths or bursae around the joints. Primary synovial chondromatosis typically affects the large joints in the third to fifth decade of life. The purpose of this case report is to document this rare synovial pathology, which required open synovectomy and debridement to eradicate it. In our case, the biggest sized SOC was 20x19x6 cm, although there were many joint mice. Our case had the biggest SOC ever extracted, which to the best of my knowledge has not been reported earlier.Öğe The effectiveness of fixation of hydroxyapatite-coated helical blade in preventing of the cut-out observed in treatment with proximal femoral nail of fractures of the femur intertrochanteric in elderly(Turkish Assoc Trauma Emergency Surgery, 2023) Tosun, Haci Bayram; Uludag, Abuzer; Serbest, Sancar; Cicek, Necati; Demir, SukruBACKGROUND: This study aimed to retrospectively evaluate the effectiveness of hydroxyapatite-coated (HA-coated) implants and other caput-collum implants in preventing cut-out observed in treatment with proximal femoral nail (PFN) of intertrochanteric femur fractures in elderly patients.METHODS: A total of 98 consecutive patients (56 males and 42 females; mean age: 79.42 (61-115) years) treated with three differ-ent PFNs for intertrochanteric femoral fractures were retrospectively examined. The mean of the follow-up period was 7.87 (4-48) months. It was used a threaded lag screw in 40 patients, an HA-coated helical blade in 28 patients and a non-coated helical blade in 30 patients for PFN. The reduction quality, fracture type, and radiological outcomes among all groups were evaluated.RESULTS: Unstable type was seen in 50 (52.1%) patients according to AO Foundation/Orthopedic Trauma Association fracture classi-fication. An acceptable-good reduction quality was seen in 87 (88.8%) of all patients. The average of tip-apex distance (TAD) value was 27.61 mm, calcar-referenced TAD (CalTAD) value was 28.72 mm, caput-collum diaphyseal angle was 128,degrees Parker's anteroposterior ratio was 46.36%, and Parker's lateral ratio was 46.82%. The best suitable implant position was observed in 49 (50%) patients. Cut-out was observed in 7 (7.14%) patients, and secondary varus displacement of more than 10 degrees was observed in 12 (12.24%) patients. Correlation analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis showed a significant difference between HA-coated and other implants in cut-out. Furthermore, implant type was the strongest predictive factor for cut-out complications in the multivariate logistic regression analysis.CONCLUSION: HA-coated implants may reduce the long-term cut-out risk due to increased osteointegration and bone ingrowth in elderly patients with intertrochanteric femoral fractures with poor bone quality. However, this alone is not enough; a suitable screw position, optimal TAD values, and excellent reduction quality are other important factors.Öğe Tibial Lengthening Using a Fixator-Assisted Lengthening Plate: A New Technique(Baqiyatallah Univ Medical Sciences, 2016) Tosun, Haci Bayram; Agir, Ismail; Gumustas, Seyitali; Serbest, Sancar; Uludag, Abuzer; Celik, SuatBackground: There are many techniques that are used for limb lengthening. Lengthening a limb over a plate is an alternative choice used in children or when using an intramedullary nail is difficult. Objectives: In this study, we presented a new technique for tibial lengthening using a monolateral external fixator over a lengthening plate. Materials and Methods: For tibial lengthening, a monolateral external fixator was attached to the composite bone model medially. After a corticotomy was performed, the lengthening plate was placed laterally. Three locking screws were inserted proximally, and two cortical screws were inserted into a lengthening hole that was 1 cm below the osteotomy site. We avoided contact between the screws of the lengthening plate and the pins of the external fixator. During bone lengthening with the monolateral external fixator, the screws at the lengthening hole were able to slide distally with the distal segment of the tibia to allow for tibial elongation. Two locking screws were fixed at the distal locking holes of the plate when the bone elongation was complete. The external fixator was then removed. Results: The fixator-assisted lengthening plate allowed bone lengthening without malalignment. There were no mechanical problems associated with the external fixator during the lengthening process. Plate osteosynthesis was stable after the fixator was removed. There was no contact between the screws of plate and the Schanz pins of the external fixator under C-arm fluoroscopy. Conclusions: The fixator-assisted lengthening plate technique helps to maintain the stability and alignment at both sides of an osteotomy during tibial elongation. It allows the early removal of the external fixator immediately after lengthening is completed. This technique can be applied in children with open physes and in patients with a narrow medullary canal who are unsuitable for limb lengthening over an intramedullary nail.Öğe Unicameral (simple) and aneurysmal bone cysts: the effect of insufficient curettage on recurrence(African Field Epidemiology Network-Afenet, 2016) Celik, Suat; Uludag, Abuzer; Tosun, Haci Bayram; Serbest, Sancar; Gurger, Murat; Kilic, SabahattinIntroduction: Curettage of the cyst and bone grafting are the most common methods used in the treatment of unicameral bone cysts (UBC) and aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC). Recurrence of these cysts is often associated with insufficient curettage of the cyst during surgery. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of insufficient curettage on recurrence in patients with UBC and ABC. Methods: The retrospective study included 18 patients with UBC and 14 patients with ABC that were surgically treated by curettage and bone grafting in our clinic between 2006-2013. Mean age was 19.80 (range, 4-50) years in the patients with UBC and 21.76 (range, 4-56) in the patients with ABC. The diagnosis of the cysts was established both clinically and radiologically. Mean follow-up period was 36 (range, 6-60) months both in the patients with UBC and ABC. The patients with recurrence underwent a second curettage and grafting procedure. Healing and recurrence were evaluated according to modified Neer's scale. Results: Recurrence occurred in 8 patients. Of these, 5 patients underwent a second curettage and grafting procedure and 3 patients were lost to follow-up. Complete healing occurred in all the patients that underwent a second curettage and grafting procedure. Conclusion: The achievement of complete healing in the patients that underwent a second curettage and grafting procedure indicates that the recurrence of UBC and ABC is associated with insufficient curettage. s
