    Objective: The purpose of this study was to biomechanically compare cable, trochanteric grip plate, and locking plate techniques in Vancouver type AG fracture model in an in vitro test environment. Methods: Fifteen pieces of fourth-generation synthetic femora were separated into 3 groups of 5 models each. A greater trochanteric fracture model was created after femoral stem implantation. Group 1 was fixated with only cable, Group 2 with trochanteric grip plate, and Group 3 with locking plate. Horizontal stiffness, axial stiffness, and failure loads were compared between the groups. Results: In horizontal compression tests, Group 3 had the highest values, but the only statistically significant difference was between the locking plate group and cable group. Axial distraction test results showed that mean stiffness of Group 1 was 94.6 +/- 9.44 N/mm, that of Group 2 was 174.8 +/- 28.64 N/mm, and that of Group 3 was 185.6 +/- 71.64 N/mm. While locking plate versus cable fixation and grip plate fixation versus cable fixation showed statistically significant differences (p<0.05), comparison of locking plate versus grip plate fixation showed no statistically significant difference (p>0.05). In axial failure load test, Group 3 had the highest results. The only significant difference was between the locking plate and cable groups (p<0.05). Conclusion: In Vancouver type AG fractures stable fixation may be achieved with grip plate fixation and locking plates, with the former ensuring more stable osteosynthesis.

    Selection of distal fusion level in terms of distal junctional kyphosis in Scheuermann kyphosis. A comparison of 3 methods
    (TURKISH ASSOC ORTHOPAEDICS TRAUMATOLOGY, 2018-01-01) Dikici, Fatih; Akgul, Turgut; Sariyilmaz, Kerim; Korkmaz, Murat; Ozkunt, Okan; Sar, Cuneyt; Domanic, Unsal
    Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of distal fusion level selection on the distal junctional kyphosis (DJK) in Scheuermann kyphosis (SK) patients who underwent posterior fusion. Methods: Thirty-nine SK patients who underwent posterior fusion with a minimum follow-up of 3 years were retrospectively evaluated. According to the distal fusion level, patients were divided into 3 groups. Group S

    Surgical Approach Algorithm in the Treatment of Lumbar and Thoracolumbar Pyogenic Spondylodiscitis
    (TURKISH NEUROSURGICAL SOC, 2022-01-01) Akgul, Turgut; Bayram, Serkan; Korkmaz, Murat; Karalar, Sahin; Dikici, Fatih; Sar, Cuneyt
    AIM: To reveal the efficiency of our surgical approach algorithm in patients with thoracolumbar pyogenic spondylodiscitis based on the involvement of anatomical structure. MATERIAL and METHODS: Data of patients who underwent debridement or stabilization surgery for thoracolumbar pyogenic spondylodiscitis from January 2012 to December 2018 were reviewed. Lumbar and thoracolumbar spondylodiscitis was classified into four stages based on anatomical involvement. Infection was limited in the disc space, which had not spread to the endplate in stage 1 and progressed as two-level corpus involvement of >1/2 of vertebral corpus bony destruction or as failed treatment in stage 4. Neurological function was evaluated using Frankel's grading postoperatively. Functional outcomes were categorized according to the Kirkaldy-Willis criteria. RESULTS: The study included 39 patients, with a mean age of 58.2 years. Of these patients, 10, 12, 13, and 4 had stages 1, 2, 3, and 4 spondylodiscitis, respectively. The mean follow-up period was 60.2 (12-184) months. All patients with stages 1 and 2 spondylodiscitis had grade E injury
