    Arthroscopy-assisted treatment of Hoffa fracture associated with ipsilateral femoral shaft, tibial eminence and Malgaigne fractures
    (TURKISH ASSOC ORTHOPAEDICS TRAUMATOLOGY, 2014-01-01) Akan, Kaya; Akgun, Umut; Poyanli, Oguz; Unay, Koray
    Hoffa fracture associated with ipsilateral femoral shaft fractures is a rare clinical entity. We present a previously unreported multi-trauma case with a unique fracture combination of ipsilateral Hoffa, tibial eminence, femoral shaft and Malgaigne fractures. The Malgaigne fracture was treated non-operatively while the other three fractures were operated with arthroscopic and assisted techniques. Despite the use of minimally invasive techniques, the patient experienced postoperative soft tissue problems. In follow-up, all fractures healed with a good functional outcome. The application of a minimally invasive technique in such a high-energy trauma is crucial for prevention of soft tissue complications.

    Mid-termclinical and radiological outcomes of arthroscopic repair of isolated and combined subscapularis tears: A single-center experience
    (TURKISH ASSOC ORTHOPAEDICS TRAUMATOLOGY, 2021-01-01) Kurnaz, Recep; Ergun, Selim; Asci, Murat; Akgun, Umut; Gunes, Taner
    Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the mid-term clinical and radiological results of patients who underwent arthroscopic subscapularis (SSC) tendon repair and to address the possible effect of repair technique(single or double row), tear pattern, and concomitant procedures among supraspinatus tears and long head of biceps tendon (LHBT) pathologies on outcomes and failure parameters. Methods: 45 patients (24 female

    The effect of loop size on loop security and elongation of a knot
    (ELSEVIER MASSON, CORP OFF, 2020-01-01) Ergun, Selim; Akgun, Umut; Karahan, Mustafa
    Introduction: While repairing a teared rotator cuff tendon with suture anchors and horizontal mattress suture configurations, knots should be secure at time zero while approximating the tendon to the bone, otherwise any failure in loop security may cause undesired clinical results. Optimum distance between suture limbs passed through the tendon, in other words the bite size, is still not clear in the literature. The aim of this study was to test the effect of loop size, which is directly related to the bite size, on loop security and elongation of a knot. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that a knot with a smaller loop size would be more secure. We asked if a knot with shorter circumference (1) would offer a better knot security
