BACKGROUND Nonoperative treatment of posterolateral knee injuries tends to yield poor results. In patients with chronic posterolateral knee injuries, failure to correct genu varus alignment will often result in failure of the posterolateral knee repair or reconstruction. PURPOSE To prospectively assess the functional outcomes of patients with combined grade 3 posterolateral instability and ge...

STUDY DESIGN A retrospective, multicenter, medical record review and independent analysis of computed tomographic scans was performed in 46 patients to determine radiographic arthrodesis rates after 1-segment, 2-segment, or 3-segment instrumented posterolateral fusions (PLF) using autograft, bone marrow aspirate (BMA), and a nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite bone void filler (nHA). OBJECTIVE To ...

Objectives: Thoracotomy causes intense postoperative pain which may become chronic. Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS)leads to less compared with thoracotomy. In this study, we analyzed scores in patients who underwent lungresections VATS or thoracotomy.Patients and Methods: Patients lung resections uniportal, biportal thoracotomy between May 2015– 2017 were included the study. Visual Analo...

Aspergilloma (a saprophytic infection) typically colonizes lung cavities due to underlying diseases such as tuberculosis, bronchiectasis, cavitary cancer, sarcoidosis, and pulmonary infarctions. Rarely, aspergilloma has been noted within a hydatid cyst. Even if this was the case, it is more common find coexistence of echinococcal cysts in immunocompromised individuals. It is, however, very unco...

BACKGROUND Increased stability of posterolateral corner knee injuries has been observed clinically after proximal tibial medial opening wedge osteotomies. HYPOTHESIS Static varus and external rotatory stability will be significantly improved in a knee with a grade 3 posterolateral knee injury after a proximal tibial medial opening wedge osteotomy. STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study. ...

Introduction: Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is now commonly used for primary spontaneous pneumothorax. In the present study we compared the outcomes of this technique with those obtained by conventional thoracotomy.Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional stud, forty patients were enrolled into two groups: VATS (n=20) and thoracotomy (n=20). In both groups the blebs were resected ...
