Objective: Non-traumatic osteoporotic vertebra fracture (OVF) in association with bilateral pedicle fracture (PD) is a rare condition. In particular, OVFs demonstrating vacuum cleft sign and superior endplate discontinuity extending to the posterior cortex may be associated with non-traumatic PDs. This coexistence results in an unstable fracture pa...

OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study were to compare the patient and fracture characteristics, radiological, functional, and quality of life outcomes; the need for a lateral window approach and requirement of total hip arthroplasty; and complications in patients with simple and complex acetabular fractures who underwent a modified Stoppa approach th...

Introduction: The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical, radiological outcomes and long-term behavior of the lumbar curve in AIS patients treated with selective thoracic fusion and assess the disc degeneration (DD) and facet joint degeneration (FJD) of the unfused lumbar spine with MRI at the end of minimum 20 years follow up. Methods: AIS...

Abstract Title: Comparison of the Clinical and Radiologic Outcomes between T9 vs T10 vertebra in the Midthoracic Spine as Upper Instrumented Vertebra in the Long Fusions Down to Sacrum for Adult Spinal Deformity Introduction: T10 has been accepted as the lowest immobile thoracic vertebra at midthoracic region and ideal upper instrumented vertebra...

Objectives: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of cephalexin on the fracture union histomorphometrically, radiologically, biomechanically, immunohistochemically, and histopathologically in a rat femur fracture model and to evaluate the effects of the antibiotics to be used in the prophylaxis of fracture infection on the union of the...

Introduction: Osteoporosis is a rare entity in pediatrics. Osteomalacia and osteoporosis are known to develop in syndromic or neuromuscular scoliosis (NMS) childrens. Spinal deformity surgery for pediatric patients with osteoporosis is challenging associated with pedicle screw (PS) failure and compression fractures. Cement augmentation of PS is on...

Aim: Our study aimed to examine the effects of Linagliptin, Pioglitazone, and their combination on fracture healing in a diabetes rat femur fracture model. Material and methods: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) induced rats were randomly divided into four groups: non-treated diabetes group (TD), Pioglitazone group (P), Linagliptin group (L), and...

Introduction Spondylolisthesis changes the pelvic morphology and sagittal spinopelvic alignment with abnormality compared to individuals with similar pelvic morphology. There are many treatment options including a combination of decompression and fusion. In spondylolisthesis patients with high-grade spondylolisthesis, bone to bone contact (closed i...

Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is the increased pressure with normal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) composition, not due to a secondary cause. However, the need for lumbar puncture, an invasive method in diagnosis, leads to research on noninvasive diagnostic methods. This study aims to examine the role of the size of the pituita...

Background: This study aimed to evaluate and analyze the prevalence and radiological characteristics of the fabella in the Turkish population, detecting differences between genders by examining magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images of subjects. Methods: A total number of 504 patients aged >18 years who were admitted to the orthopedics and trau...

Background: Some environmental factors pose as risk factors for children's supracondylar humerus fractures. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between weather conditions and pediatric supracondylar humerus fracture incidence. Methods: A total of 310 patients aged <16 years, admitted to our hospital with supracondylar humerus fractures...

Herpes zoster (HZ) is a common clinical condition caused by the reactivation of the latent varicella-zoster virus (VZV). Neurological complications after HZ have been described, including a rare condition of segmental zoster paresis (SZP), which results in unilateral motor impairment in the extremities. Only two cases of HZ patients with radiculopa...

The terrible triad of the elbow consists of radial head fracture and coronoid process fracture in addition to posterior dislocation of the elbow. It indicates high-risk complications such as instability, malunion, nonunion, and proximal radioulnar synostosis. We describe a rare case that was admitted to the emergency service with a terrible triad o...

Protruded disc fragments that penetrate the posterior longitudinal ligament (PLL) migrate rostral or caudal in the vertical plane, some laterally in the horizontal plane, or into the foramina involving the anterior aspect of the spinal canal. Often, there is migration to the ventral epidural space. However, posterior epidural migration of a lumbar...
