Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the applicability and potential benefits of Wide Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet (WALANT) or Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet ("LANT) versus locoregional anesthesia (LRA) and tourniquet in osteosynthesis of distal radius fractures (DRF) during the immediate postoperative period. Our hypothesis is that being able to avoid the use of a limb tourniquet in such a procedure may cause less swelling and better surgical wound appearance in the immediate postoperative period, without compromising pain level, patient satisfaction, or improving the number of complications. In this regard, prospective randomized study was designed comparing short term results of patients who were operated using WALANT (A) to locoregional anesthesia (LRA) and tourniquet (B). Main outcomes were pain, swelling and patient satisfaction. Surgical wound bleeding,mobility, surgeon's technical difficulty, insufficient anesthesia and complications were also evaluated.
the purpose of this study is to assess functional and radiological outcome of open reduction and internal fixation of isolated displaced greater tuberosity fractures (more than 5mm displacement) in adults advocating modified hook wiring with a follow-up period of one year.
Elbow injuries account for up to 15% of emergency consultations. The complexity of this joint and the subtle imaging findings present even in severe injuries make diagnosis difficult and can delay treatment, causing pain and functional impotence. Appropriate deterioration mitigation strategies include, but are not limited to, strengthening programs of sufficient intensity to stimulate anabolism and limit muscle loss and increase strength. The general recommendation for increasing muscle strength and neural adaptations in healthy subjects after sustaining an elbow fracture is moderate to heavy load resistance training with loads approximating 60%-80% of the one repetition maximum ( 1RM). However, high joint stress would be challenging and increase the risk of adverse consequences in such patients, so strategies are still needed to meet the challenges of effectively and safely adapting training loads to safely enable improvement. without requiring high joint stress. Resistance band work, coupled with the use of dual tasks, is a novel approach used during resistance training, especially among healthy populations, with promising results. The purpose of the study is to evaluate acute neuromuscular responses, pain intensity and RPE in patients with elbow joint fracture, with or without surgical approach, with different strategies to strengthen the upper limb. Candidates for this study will be men and women over 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with a fracture of the elbow joint (types 1-3 and types 2-1 according to Müller's OA fracture classification), with or without a surgical approach and with date of injury and completion of their physiotherapy program in 2022-2023, and who begin their physiotherapy treatment between weeks 7 to 9 post-fracture.
In this study, a new method was proposed to calculate the length of sideburns mini incision for zygomatic arch fracture. The purpose of this study was to compare the sideburns mini incision calculated by this method with the coronal scalp incision, so as to determine the therapeutic effect and advantages of sideburns mini incision calculated by this method.

The aim of this study was to compare the effect of blood flow restriction (BFR) training and traditional rehabilitation training on grip strength, pinch strength (tip pinch strength, key pinch strength and tripod pinch strength), range of motion (ROM) of wrist, patient-rated wrist evaluation (PRWE) score, muscle stiffness and radiographic outcomes in distal radius fracture (DRF) patients during a post-treatment rehabilitation program.
Osteoporotic fracture is a common public-health problem in the whole world. Although postfracture usage of anti-osteoporosis medications, may reduce mortality, recent results have been inconsistent. The investigators aim to examine associations between osteoporosis medication and mortality in older adults and any type of fracture patients. The investigators also aim to discuss the pleiotropic effects of different types of anti-osteoporosis medications.
The aim of this study was to compare the functional and radiological outcomes of fixation by using double plating technique versus replacement using distal femur tumor prothesis as a primary management for the distal femoral fractures in geriatric patients. The hypothesis was that the distal femoral replacement will yield better functional outcome and earlier rehabilitation and return to pre-injury level of activity.
Distal Radius End Fracture (DRC) is one of the most common fractures among all extremity fractures and wrist fractures . Pain, edema and functional loss are common findings in patients, and the physiotherapy program should be well planned from an early time. However, although there are different physiotherapy and rehabilitation applications in the treatment of DRC, there is not enough information about the effectiveness of the applications when the evidence-based studies are examined. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of motor imagery added to conventional treatment versus conventional treatment with telerehabilitation in patients with distal radius end fracture. Motor imagery is defined as the mental presentation of voluntary movement without body movement. It is an application that does not require cost and it is a training that can be easily applied in rehabilitation programs. Telerehabilitation is important in the management of patients in the acute phase of the disease, as well as in the remote management of individuals with chronic health problems. Cases who applied to Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty Orthopedics and Traumatology Clinic and were referred to Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Department will be included in the study. Few studies have examined the effects of motor imagery on pain, kinesiophobia, and functionality in musculoskeletal injuries. Studies on the effects of motor imagery on different patient groups are needed. Therefore, in our study, the effect of motor imagery training applied with the telerehabilitation method on pain, kinesiophobia and functionality in patients with distal radius end fracture will be examined. Sociodemographic data form of all subjects who volunteered to participate in the study; Age, gender, height, weight, pain, dominant extremity, and the type of fracture will be questioned. In addition, pain intensity is measured with a visual analog scale, normal joint movement measurement (wrist flexion, extension, ulnar and radial deviation, and forearm supination and pronation) with goniometer, hand grip strength with "Hydraulic hand dynamometer" , finger grip strength "Hydraulic Finger Dynamometer", kinesiophobia Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, functionality "Arm, Shoulder and Hand Injury Questionnaire in Turkish (Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder and Hand-Turkish - DASH-T and The Patient-Based Wrist Assessment Questionnaire (HBEBD), with the fine dexterity Moberg Pick Up test, the motor imagery ability with the Recognize™ phone app and the Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire, quality of life will be evaluated with SF-12. After the initial evaluation, the treatment program was started. Advances in the treatment method specific to the groups they belong to are explained in detail below. Treatment: After the distal radius end fracture, after 6 weeks of plaster application, after the first evaluation to be made in the clinic after the plaster was removed, in the next session, after patient education, conventional treatment was applied to the cases in Group 1, 3 days a week as stated below. Group 2: Conservative Treatment + Motor Imagery Program Patients in this group will have motor imagery in addition to conservative treatment. The patients in this group will first be given a motor imagery introductory session. According to the results of the observation and evaluation made by the physiotherapist before the treatment, the function of the patients
Blood loss is an important issue following intertrochanteric femoral fracture and may lead to requiring blood transfusions and transfusion complications. Tranexamic acid is a commonly used drug to decrease blood loss and the number of transfusions. The aim of our study is to determine the effectiveness of tranexamic acid use to reduce total blood loss during proximal femoral nailing for the intertrochanteric femoral fracture in the elderly. Patients aged >65 years and diagnosed with intertrochanteric fracture will be included in the study. The patients will be numbered according to the admission to the hospital and randomly divided into two groups. First group will receive tranexamic acid infusion and second group will not receive tranexamic acid infusion. Total blood loss will be calculated using Nadler formula. The primary outcome of the study is total blood loss. The secondary outcomes are a number of transfusions, and surgical blood loss during the operative procedure.
