    Effects of the incson preference n acetabular surgery on the postoperatve functonal outcomes
    (Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2019) Erem, M.; Copuroglu, C.; Copuroglu, E.; Ciftdemir, M.; Ozcan, M.; Saridogan, K.
    Background: Many factors are known to affect the functional outcomes of the acetabular surgery. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of incision preferences and number of incision on scores and clinical functional outcomes. Patients and Methods: Forty-seven adult patients who had undergone acetabular surgery and had been followed up for at least 1 year in our clinic were included in the study. Demographic data, trauma type, acetabular fracture type based on the Judet ve Letournel classification, presence of any additional traumatic fractures, time to surgery, operation duration, surgical technique, and postoperative complications were recorded. Range of motion measurements, SF-36 and Harris Hip function scale score, and full weight-bearing times were evaluated on the postoperative first year follow-up and reviewed retrospectively. Results: Our study suggests that use of double incisions in the surgery of associated fractures shortens the full weight-bearing time. The localization and the number of incisions were found to be unrelated with the Harris Functional Hip scale, SF-36 (PCS, physical component score), and SF-36 (mental component score, MCS) scores. Conclusion: Incision type and number of incisions must be determined based on the fracture type and fracture localization for better functional outcomes. The factors that have the most effects on the functional outcomes are the type and the localization. In associated fractures, performing multiple incisions reduces the time for full weight bearing and enables patients to return to their daily routine early but have no effect on the functional outcomes.

    Prognosis and risk factors of nerve injuries in displaced pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures
    (Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2020) Ozcan, M.; Altinoz, O.; Erem, M.; Ciftdemir, M.; Copuroglu, C.; Turan, F. N.
    Background: Supracondylar humerus (SCH) fractures are serious injuries due to the neighborhood of critical neural and vascular structures. One of the most devastating complications of SCH fractures is neurological damage, since it may cause permanent disability. The aim of this study is to categorize neurological complications, to report long-term functional outcomes, and to determine risk factors associated with childhood SCH fractures. Methods: The records of 375 children were reviewed retrospectively. Data about amount and direction of displacement, the shape of the fracture, age at the time of fracture, gender, time from impaction to surgery, time of surgery, type of neurological injury, and recovery time were recorded. Results: Neurological complications were seen in 37 (9.85%) children. Thirteen (35.1%) of the children had an iatrogenic nerve injury. All iatrogenic injuries were fully recovered in this study. However, 2 children who had combined neurological injury of radial, ulnar, and median nerves did not recover. Nearly 95% of all children who had neurological injury recovered fully. An anterior long and sharp bone fragment (spike) was observed in most of the children with neurological injury, and this spike was seen in 14 (58.3%) patients who had a trauma-related injury (n = 24). Conclusion: The prognosis of these nerve injuries is excellent, especially the iatrogenic ones. A long and sharp bone fragment (spike) may be responsible for nerve injuries in some children. Surgical exploration is not necessary after an iatrogenic nerve injury when there is no neurotmesis. Patience and care are utmost needed to handle neurological complications.
