    Abstract Background: Clinical studies have shown that posterior malleolar fractures treated with a posterior buttress plate have improved outcomes compared to anterior-to-posterior screw fixation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of posterior malleolus fixation on clinical and functional results.
    Methods: The patients with posterior malleolar fractures who were treated between January of 2014 and April of 2018 at our hospital were investigated retrospectively. Fifty-five patients included in the study were divided into three groups according to the fixation preferences of fractures (group I, posterior buttress plate; group II, anterior-to-posterior screw; and group III, nonfixated). The groups consisted of 20, nine, and 26 patients, respectively. These patients were analyzed according to demographic data, fixation preferences of fractures, mechanism of injury, hospitalization length of stay, surgical time, syndesmosis screw use, follow-up time, complications, Haraguchi fracture classification, van Dijk classification, American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society score, and plantar pressure analysis.
    Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of gender, operation side, injury mechanism, length of stay, anesthesia types, and syndesmotic screw usage. However, when the age, follow-up time, operation time, complications, Haraguchi classification, van Dijk classification, and American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society scores were evaluated, statistically significant differences were observed between the groups. Plantar pressure analysis data showed that group I yielded balanced pressure distribution between both feet compared to the other study groups.
    Conclusions: The posterior buttress plating of posterior malleolar fractures yielded better clinical and functional outcomes compared to the anterior-to-posterior screw fixation and nonfixated groups.

    Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intra-knee stromal vascular fraction (SVF) injection in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis at the midterm (3-year) follow-up.
    Methods: SVF injection was applied to 25 knees of 20 patients. Eighteen patients (90%) were female, and the means ± standard deviations of age was 61.9 ± 7.8 (range, 50-76) years. Patients who received conservative treatment for at least 6 months and had radiographic Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grades 2 and 3 varus gonarthrosis were included in the study. SVF was obtained from the umbilical region by liposuction using local anaesthesia. Patients were followed-up for 36 months. Their visual analogue scale (VAS), Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and Lysholm scores were evaluated before and at 6, 12, 24 and 36 months post-SVF injection.
    Results: A statistically significant improvement (p < 0.05) was observed in VAS, WOMAC and Lysholm scores at the first 2-year follow-up compared to baseline. However, no statistically significant difference (n.s.) was observed in VAS, WOMAC and Lysholm scores at the 3-year follow-up compared with baseline.
    Conclusion: Intra-articular SVF injection decreased pain and significantly improved the functional outcomes in the first 2 years in knees with grade 2-3 osteoarthritis; however, these positive effects of the injection disappeared in the 3rd year. Although short-term successful results of SVF have been reported in the literature, prospective studies are needed for medium- and long-term results.

    Abstract Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effect of a supervised dynamic exercise program on somatosensory temporal discrimination (STD) which indicates the central sensory processing ability.
    Patients and methods: Forty-eight patients (mean age: 43 years; range, 19 to 64 years) with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) were included in this prospective, randomized study between April 2018 and October 2018. Demographics and clinical measurements were recorded. The STD threshold was measured by a researcher blinded to the treatment groups. After baseline assessments, the patients were randomized into two groups: the supervised exercise group (SEG) and the home exercise group (HEG) as the control group. The SEG performed submaximal aerobic exercise and low-medium resistant isotonic exercises under the supervision of a physiotherapist, 1-h per day, three days in a week for four weeks. The HEG was given a home-based exercise program consisting of low-to-medium resistance isotonic exercises and aerobic exercises 1-h per day, three days in a week for four weeks. After exercise program, clinical assessments and STD threshold measurement were repeated.
    Results: Clinical and STD threshold measures improved significantly after four-week exercise program in both groups. The improvements in clinical measures were significantly higher in the SEG. However, there was no difference in the STD threshold improvement between the groups. No correlation was found between the STD threshold measure and clinical features in any patients.
    Conclusion: Although a significant improvement was achieved in impaired STD threshold with SEG, it was not found to be superior to the amelioration observed with HEG.

    Abstract Purpose: The aim of this study was to present to the literature a rare injury mechanism that causes knee dislocation (KD) and describe its characteristics.
    Methods: A retrospective review of patients with KD who were treated between January 2014 and December 2019 at our hospital was performed. Patients with KD due to rotavator machine injury were included in Group 1 and all patients with KD due to other etiological reasons were included in Group 2. Patients' age, gender, side, injury mechanism, time to surgery, length of stay (LOS), operation time, follow-up time, neurological injury status, vascular injury status, open injury status, and surgical interventions were evaluated.
    Results: A total of 34 patients were evaluated in the study. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of age, gender, side, or follow-up time (
    Conclusion: As a rare injury mechanism for KD, rotavator machine injuries cause more neurovascular injuries in patients compared to other injury mechanisms and increase the time to surgery and LOS due to preoperative soft tissue damage.

    Abstract The purpose of this study was to compare the methods of distal radial shortening osteotomy (RSO), lateral closing distal radial wedge osteotomy (RWO), and scaphotrapeziotrapezoid (STT) fusion in the treatment of stage 3A Kienböck's disease (KD). The research was planned as a single-center and retrospective study for the period 2008-2018. Patients were allocated to three groups according to surgical method: group 1, patients with negative ulnar variance, undergoing RSO; group 2, patients with non-negative (neutral or positive) ulnar variance, undergoing RWO; and group 3, patients with non-negative ulnar variance, undergoing STT fusion. Radiological measurements were compared: pre- and postoperative Stahl index, radioscaphoid angle, and carpal height ratio. Clinical comparison used QuickDASH and modified Mayo wrist scores. Fifty-one patients, with a mean age of 34 ± 12 years (range; 16-69 years), were included. Mean follow-up was 4.47 ± 1.8 (range 2-9) years. No statistically significant difference was observed between the groups in terms of change in carpal height ratio or Stahl index (respectively; P = 0.08, P = 0.065). A significant difference was observed in change in radioscaphoid angle between patients undergoing STT fusion versus RWO (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in postoperative functional scores between groups, and similar postoperative functional scores were achieved with STT fusion and with RWO in the surgical treatment of stage 3A KD with positive or neutral ulnar variance. Good medium-term radiological and clinical results were obtained with RSO in patients with stage 3A KD with negative ulnar variance.
