Pubmed Comparison of low-profile plate-screw and Kirschner-wire osteosynthesis outcomes in extra-articular unstable proximal phalangeal fractures.(2019-04-01T00:00:00Z) Köse, Ahmet; Topal, Murat; Engin, Muhammed Çağatay; Şencan, Ayşe; Dinçer, Recep; Baran, TuncayWe aimed to present the radiological and clinical results of Kirschner-wire (K-wire) fixation and low-profile plate-screw fixation applied to unstable proximal phalangeal fractures without extension to the joint.Pubmed Surgical management of displaced adolescent Tillaux Fractures with the mini-open technique.(2021-01-01T00:00:00Z) Ayas, Muhammet Salih; Köse, Ahmet; Terzi, Eşref; Dincer, Recep; Topal, Murat; Uymur, Erdem Yunus; Şahin, AliThere is no consensus on the optimal treatment of Tillaux-Chaput fractures. The results of our cases treated with mini-open surgery (open reduction and internal fixation) concerning efficacy and complications, we aim to compare other procedures (open, percutaneous, and arthroscopy-assisted) with the literature data and to look for an answer to the question of whether the primary treatment can be mini-open surgery.Pubmed Surgical management of Rockwood type 3 acromioclavicular joint injuries: a retrospective comparison of outcomes of suture anchor fixation and double-button fixation techniques.(2020-05-22T00:00:00Z) Topal, Murat; Köse, AhmetThe treatment of type 3 acromioclavicular joint injuries has still controversial issues. In this retrospective study, we aimed to compare the radiological and functional outcomes of the suture anchor and double-button fixation methods for the treatment of type 3 acromioclavicular joint injuries.This study included 20 patients who underwent suture anchor (9 patients) and double-button fixations (11 patients) for isolated type 3 acromioclavicular dislocation. Injuries were classified according to the Rockwood Classification System. Coracoclavicular(CC) distances and anterior translation have been measured pre-operatively and at the 12th month follow-up. Functional evaluation was performed using the DASH, and Constant-Murley scores of the patients were recorded at the12th-month follow-up.The mean age of the patients was 37 (22-50) years in Group 1(double-button group) and 39 (24-56) years in Group 2(suture anchor group). All of the patients were male. There was no statistically significant difference between the DASH and Constant-Murley scores of the 2 groups (P > .05). The mean DASH score of the patients evaluated at the postoperative 12th month was 6.65 (0-38.3) in Group 1 and 2.48 (0-4.2) in Group 2. The mean Constant-Murley score of the patients evaluated at the postoperative 12th month was 89,6 (50-98) in Group 1 and 93,6 (90-98) in Group 2. Comparison of the pre- and post-operative CC distances and pre- and post-operative anterior translation distances of both groups revealed that there was no statistically significant difference between groups regarding postoperative CC distances and anterior translation distances (P > .05).Suture anchor and double-button techniques are reliable treatment methods that are not superior to one another and can yield excellent functional outcomes.Pubmed Surgical treatment of pediatric forearm fractures with intramedullary nails: is it a disadvantage to leave the tip exposed?(2020-03-01T00:00:00Z) Dinçer, Recep; Köse, Ahmet; Topal, Murat; Öztürk, İbrahim A; Engin, Muhammed ÇElastic intramedullary nailing is the main treatment method in the surgical treatment of pediatric forearm fractures. In this study, we compared the clinical outcomes of intramedullary nailing of forearm fractures with leaving the tips exposed and with placing the tip of the nails under the skin. We aimed to present the clinical outcomes of intramedullary nailing and determine the advantages and disadvantages of leaving the tips of the nails exposed. One hundred and ninety-two children with both-bone forearm fracture who were treated with titanium elastic nailing (TEN) in the Department of Orthopedics at Erzurum Regional Training and Research Hospital between January 2009 and December 2016 were included in the study. All cases had been followed up for at least 1 year. The tips of the TENs were left exposed in 74 and buried subcutaneously in 118 children. Union was achieved in all cases. Delayed union was observed in just one case. Skin irritation was observed in 11 (5.7%) of the exposed TEN cases. Superficial infection developed in two (1%) cases with exposed TEN tips. Migration developed during the follow-up of 11 (5.7%) cases with buried tips. The mean time to removal of TEN was 7.9 weeks in cases with exposed and 26.2 weeks in cases with buried cases. Refracture was observed in six buried (3.1%) cases and four exposed TEN (2.1%) cases in the first year after the removal of the nails. Perfect outcomes were achieved in 146 (76%) cases and good outcomes in 36 (19%) cases in our study. On comparing the rate of complications and clinicaloutcomes, leaving the TEN exposed seems to be safe.
