    Treatment of infected nonunion of the juxta-articular region of the distal tibia
    (TURKISH ASSOC ORTHOPAEDICS TRAUMATOLOGY, 2016-01-01) Eralp, Ibrahim Levent; Kocaoglu, Mehmet; Dikmen, Goksel; Azam, Mohsin E.; Balci, Halil Ibrahim; Bilen, F. Erkal
    Objective: The purpose of this study was to summarize our clinical results with distraction osteogenesis for the treatment of infected tibial nonunion around the ankle joint. Methods: Between 1994 and 2009, 13 patients with a mean age of 50 years (range: 27-79 years) underwent tibial reconstruction for the treatment of infected nonunion of the distal tibia, with a mean bone loss of 4.8 cm (range: 1-7 cm). Lengthening over an intramedullary nail as a second procedure was used in 2 patients, bifocal compression and distraction technique in 5 cases, compression with Ilizarov external fixator in 5 cases, and Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF, Smith \& Nephew, Memphis, TN, USA) in 1 case. At final follow-up, functional and radiographic results were evaluated according to Paley's bone and functional healing criteria. Results: Mean duration of follow-up was 36 months. Mean external fixation time was 198 days, and mean external fixation index was 29 days/cm. According to Paley's bone healing criteria, there were 10 excellent, 2 good, and 1 poor result(s)

    The triangle between the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments: an arthroscopic anatomy study
    (TURKISH ASSOC ORTHOPAEDICS TRAUMATOLOGY, 2015-01-01) Kaya, Alper; Koken, Murat; Akan, Burak; Karaguven, Doga; Guclu, Berk
    Objective: The goal of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is to place the graft in closest proximity to the native ACL anatomy. This study aims to examine the angular relation between intact anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments (PCL) from an arthroscopic perspective. Methods: Forty patients (20 male, 20 female) with a mean age of 35.12 (range: 18-40) years that underwent knee arthroscopy for reasons other than ACL rupture were included in the study. Following diagnostic examination and repair of the primary pathology, the triangle between ACL and PCL was seen at different flexion degrees of the knee joint (120, 90, 60, and 30 degrees) through standard anterolateral (AL) and anteromedial (AM) portals. The narrow top angle of the triangle between the long intersecting axes of ACL and PCL was measured using recorded images by 3 blind observers. Results: The average ACL-PCL angle was 61 degrees, (standard deviation +/- 2 degrees) at 90 degrees of knee flexion. The angles were narrower when viewed through the AM portal. The degree of the angles was not affected by age, sex, body mass index (BMI), or the side (right or left) on which the procedure was performed. There was good-to-excellent intra-and interobserver reliability. Conclusion: The angular relation between intact ACL and PCL has the potential to provide a better view of the anatomy during arthroscopic ACL surgery. To perform better anatomic reconstructions, it is important to create a 60 degrees angle between the ACL graft and PCL (as viewed through AL portal) at 90 degrees of knee flexion.

    Reconstruction of Composit Oromandibular Defects
    (AVES, 2017-01-01) Altinkaya, Altug; Yazar, Sukru; Ertas, Burak; Korkut, Nazim; Unal, Omer Faruk
    Objective: Mandibular defects are generally observed as composite defects which soft tissue defects are accompanied to bone defects. This situation may cause difficulties in choosing the surgical method during the reconstruction period. The purpose of this paper is to convey our clinical approach and results on composite mandibular defects. Methods: Eleven patients, applying to our clinic between 2011 and 2015, were operated in a single session with the team of otorhinolaryngology, because of oromandibular cancer. Ten of the patients were male and one was woman. The age range was between 7 and 54 ages (Average age 35.5). Results: While mandibular resection was performed on all patients, skin resection was performed on six patients, mucosa resection was applied on eight patients
