Distal medial epicondylectomy. A modification of partial medial epicondylectomy for cubital tunnel syndrome: preliminary results
Cirpar, Meric; Turker, Mehmet; Ozuak, Cem Seyfi (Springer, 2012)The medial epicondyle behaves as a fulcrum and a pulley that tethers the ulnar nerve during flexion. Excision of the distal half of the medial epicondyle sets the point of contact of the bone with the nerve proximally and ... -
Dorsal cutaneous innervation of the hand with respect to anatomical landmarks: is there a safe zone?
Cirpar, Meric; Esmer, Ali Firat; Turker, Mehmet; Yalcinozan, Mehmet (Turkish Joint Diseases Foundation, 2012)Objectives: In this study, we aimed to define the borders of the triangular area between the radial and dorsal nerves on the dorsum of the hand and to determine its dimensions using measurements between anatomic landmarks. ... -
Effect of Partial, Distal Epicondylectomy on Reduction of Ulnar Nerve Strain: A Cadaver Study
Cirpar, Meric; Turker, Mehmet; Yalcinozan, Mehmet; Eke, Murat; Sahin, Feyzi (W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2013)Purpose To compare the decrease in ulnar nerve strains using a modification of medial epicondylectomy by removing the distal half of the medial epicondyle with in situ decompression and partial medial epicondylectomy. ... -
The effectivity of magnetic resonance imaging findings in the diagnosis of bucket handle meniscal tears
Turker, Mehmet; Cetik, Ozgur; Cirpar, Meric; Yalcinozan, Mehmet; Comert, Ruhi Baris; Simsek, Talat (Turkish Joint Diseases Foundation, 2012)Objectives: This study aims to test the efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation by a group who were blinded to the arthroscopic diagnosis in patients with known bucket handle meniscal tears. Patients and ... -
