TL;DR: PT stiffness is correlated and affected by gender, body mass index and QF muscle strength whereas PT thickness is correlation and affected only to BMI and Qf muscle strength.

TL;DR: Virtual reality exergaming programs with these programs were found more effective than home exercise programs at short term in subjects with SAIS.

TL;DR: Life expectancy is low in DM patients requiring below-knee amputations for untreatable foot problems and survival could be predicted by duration of insulin use, age, sex, and renal insufficiency.

TL;DR: The DHS-BLADE and cannulated compression screws might be equally effective in terms of postoperative fracture union, however, the DHS- BLADE has advantages over cannulation compression screws for preventing femoral neck shortening, screw migration, and cut-out.

TL;DR: The present meta-analysis suggests that the ASPN D-repeat polymorphism is not associated with an increased KOA risk, however, future large studies with gene–gene and gene–environment interactions are needed to validate these findings.

TL;DR: The use of the free quadriceps tendon autograft for ACL reconstruction leads to less pain and analgesic consumption in the immediate postoperative period compared with the use of hamstrings Autograft.

TL;DR: The results suggested that all fixation systems enhance biomechanical stability significantly, and anterior column plate combined with quadrilateral area screws has quite comparable results to double column plates, they were superior to anterior column Plate combined with posterior screws.

TL;DR: Both plating systems had similar biomechanical stabilities when anatomic plates with distal locking screws were used in intraarticular distal humerus fractures in artificial Humerus models.

TL;DR: There is insufficient evidence to show any difference between the unilateral and bilateral approaches in both the PVP and PKP treatment in osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, in view of the current evidence.

TL;DR: The results suggest that decrease of arch mobility on the dominant foot is associated with posterior sway by causing knee or hip strategy and preventing ankle strategy even in small perturbations.

TL;DR: Early surgical decompression within 8 h after tSCI was beneficial in terms of neurologic improvement compared with late surgery, and is recommended for patients with t SCI.

TL;DR: It was found that there was no significant benefit from using PS instrumentation in primary knee arthroplasty to aid in the positioning of either the tibial or femoral components.

TL;DR: Female patients, patients with upper extremity tendinopathy and older patients appeared to benefit more from PRP injection, and results were most promising with patellar and lateral epicondylar tendinopathic in the short to medium term.

TL;DR: Prevalence of valgus malunion was higher in the IMN group and recurvatum was more prevalent in the MIPO group, however, successful results have been obtained with IMN in this fracture pattern.

TL;DR: The lateral patellofemoral ligament is part of the lateral retinaculum cut during arthroscopic or open release and its anatomic and morphometric characteristics are investigated to find greater width of the LPFL at the insertion point corresponds to greater LPFL and anterior-posterior lateral condylar lengths.

TL;DR: It is indicated that delphinidin may play a critical role as a chemotherapeutic agent by preventing the development and progression of osteosarcoma cells by inhibiting autophagy, permitting ROS to accumulate and finally enhance apoptotic cell death.

TL;DR: Neoadjuvant radiotherapy was effective for myxoid liposarcomas histopathologically, although these histopathological features did not affect the patients' oncological outcomes.

TL;DR: The Turkish version of the OMAS (OMAS-Tr) was developed after the translation and back-translation, which included the stages recommended by Beaton, and was a valid and reliable tool to assess ankle fracture-related problems.

TL;DR: The optimal trajectories for sacral alar iliac screws (SAISs) in a Japanese patient population and the clinical assessment of insertion accuracies are more lateral in males and more caudal in females.

TL;DR: Motor recovery was significantly better in the rats treated with PRP 24 h after injury than the control group, and positive effects of platelet rich plasma on nerve regeneration after spinal cord injury was demonstrated.

TL;DR: Lack of experience was the most important factor in the misdiagnosis of perilunate fracture dislocation or isolated dislocation, according to the results of this study.

TL;DR: With lower rates of wound site infection in the early and AC arthrosis in the late postoperative period, CC fixation method with the Bosworth screw may be a better surgical option than Acromioclavicular fixation with K-wires.

TL;DR: It is concluded that early excision of HO can provide better elbow function, as indicated by ROM and MEPS, and that the time from an elbow injury to surgery may be shortened.

TL;DR: Sildenafil appear to increase the perfusion of femoral head by up-regulating VEGF through PKG pathway, which could prevent ANFH.

TL;DR: Even though FAI is considered to be a pathology associated with hip osteoarthritis; it is very common in asymptomatic population; it was showed that prevalence of radiological FAI findings in asylptomatic adult population was 29.6% in Turkey.

TL;DR: It is suggested that early surgical reconstruction may not be a prerequisite to returning to recreational physical activities after injury in patients with ACL tears.

TL;DR: Management strategies have to be considered particularly in the early postoperative period in patients who had undergone above knee amputation and below ankle amputations were higher at EPP, but these high scores had disappeared over time.

TL;DR: Post-operative flexion cut off value was 115° and had a positive effect on the postoperative patient satisfaction and was a significant variable on patient satisfaction as was the total increase in ROM.

TL;DR: Interventions to increase helmet use and measures to improve stability are likely to reduce these costs and shorten hospital stays.

TL;DR: Vitamin D deficiency may lead to lower functional capacity, and clinically, Vit D levels should be checked in musculoskeletal pain patients at risk of Vit D deficiency.
