    An alternative treatment method for defective pseudoarthrosis le; evaluation of eight patients treated with Artelon plus Kryptonite
    (Acta Medica Belgica, 2016) Uras, Ismail; Yavuz, Osman Yuksel; Uygun, Murat; Paslioglu, Ebubekir; Komurcu, Mahmut
    Pseudoarthrosis with bone loss is one of the most challenging orthopaedic problems for surgeons. Bone loss usually leads to technical difficulties during surgery due to instability in the fracture area. Eight patients with pseudoarthrosis of different long bones were operated on by the same surgeon. The median age was 53 years (25-61), and the median time period after the index operation was 21 months (1272 months). Radiographic union was achieved in all patients in 3.62 months (2-5 months). Efficient healing with new bone formation was observed in all of the patients. The result of the current case series is promising. This treatment method can be used for the treatment of pseudoarthrosis without increasing morbidity. Long-term follow-up and larger case series are needed for evidence of the adequacy and reliability of this method of treatment.

    Effect of Ankaferd Blood Stopper on muscle healing
    (Canadian Soc Clinical Investigation, 2016) Uygun, Murat; Yavuz, Osman Y.; Uras, Ismail; Duman, Ibrahim G.; Haltas, Hacer; Komurcu, Mahmut
    Purpose: Ankaferd Blood Stopper (ABS), which is a standardized mixture of herbal extracts obtained from five plants, has been proven as an efficient hemostatic agent and is still used in emergency situations. It is not known exactly if decreased bleeding has positive or negative effects on muscle healing and fibrosis, so the purpose of this study was to test the effect of ABS on muscle healing and morphology. Methods: A total of 66 outbred Wistar rats were divided into three control and three experimental subgroups. In the experimental groups, ABS was sprayed on the cut surface of the soleus. In the control groups, a saline solution was sprayed on the cut surface of the soleus. Subgroups were euthanized after 2 weeks, 3 weeks and 4 weeks, respectively. In each subgroup, eight rats were used for the biomechanical study to determine muscle healing and three rats were used for the histopathological investigation. Results: Although muscle strength in the control groups was lower than that of the experimental groups in early weeks, no differences were found between the control and the experimental groups at 4 weeks. Conclusions: ABS has no negative effect on muscle healing. We also observed that ABS accelerated muscle healing compared to the control group. ABS could be used in hemostasis of open fractures and elective orthopedic surgeries.

    Maternal Height and Infant Body Mass Index Are Possible Risk Factors for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip in Female Infants
    (Okayama Univ Med School, 2015) Atalar, Hakan; Gunay, Cuneyd; Yavuz, Osman Yuksel; Camurdan, Aysu Duyan; Uras, Ismail; Eren, Ali
    Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a wide-spectrum disease with a multifactorial etiology and, despite its prevalence, no definitive etiology has yet been established. The aim of this study was to investigate new risk factors for DDH by evaluating newly defined potential risk factors. A total of 71 infants were separated into 2 groups: Group 1, 28 female first-born infants diagnosed with DDH and their mothers; and Group II, 43 healthy female first-born infants and their mothers. The maternal height and weight before pregnancy, infant height and weight at birth, and body mass index (BMI) of both mother and infant were determined. Calculations were made of the ratios between these parameters. Of the examined risk factors, only maternal height and the ratio of maternal height to infant BMI (MH/I-BMI) were found to be significant for DDH in infants. In conclusion, the results of this study show that a short maternal height and a low MH/I-BMI increase the risk of DDH. Further studies with a larger series are necessary to confirm these results.

    Our Experiences in the Surgical Treatment of Bayne Type III and IV Radial Longitudinal Deficiencies
    (Modestum Ltd, 2015) Komurcu, Mahmut; Yuce, Serdar; Yavuz, Osman Yuksel; Uras, Ismail; Uygun, Murat; Kurklu, Mustafa
    Radial longitudinal deficiencies are characterized by radial deviation of the wrist, a short and bowed forearm and a non-functional or absent thumb. The deformity is caused by varying degrees of underdevelopment and malformation including hypoplasia of the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and vessels. This study describes our results from centralization in 8 limbs with Bayne type III-IV radial longitudinal deficiencies. We reviewed 8 limbs from 6 patients with a centralization performed between 2002 and 2010. The median patient age at the time of the operation was 2.75 years (range 2-14 years). The sex ratio was 4 male and 2 female. All patients underwent centralization. One patient had an additional 6.5 cm elongation of the ulna bone by means of a circular external fixator (CEF). The median follow-up time from centralization was 4,5 years (range 2-10 years). The result was considered to be excellent in 4 cases, good in 3 cases and fair in 1 case. Radial deviations regenerated in all cases. During follow-up, a radial deviation of 15 degrees developed in one patient; this deviation did not require surgical correction. Hand and wrist movements were within acceptable levels. Movement and function of the wrist and forearm can be obtained through centralization of the wrist and ulnar elongation when necessary. A cosmetically pleasant appearance can be ensured.

    The efficacy of semirigid hip orthosis in the delayed treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2014) Uras, Ismail; Yavuz, Osman Yuksel; Uygun, Murat; Yildirim, Hamdullah; Komurcu, Mahmut
    This study assessed the use of semirigid hip orthosis to stabilize the femoral head into the acetabulum in the delayed treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH; Graf type IIb or more severe) under the age of 6 months. Ninety-eight hips from 75 patients (four boys, 71 girls) were evaluated retrospectively. The mean age at treatment initiation was 3.2 +/- 1.3 months (1-6 months). As the dysplastic hip matured into a type I hip, we applied the weaning regimen for 1 month. Seventy-two patients (96%) were treated successfully in 4.2 +/- 1.1 months (2-8 months). All of the failures were type IV hips. We did not detect any acetabular or femoral head pathology in the later follow-up. Semirigid hip orthosis is safe and effective as the first-line treatment method for delayed DDH except in type IV hips in patients under 6 months of age.
