Publication Metadata only All arthroscopic coracoclavicular button fixation is efficient for Neer type II distal clavicle fractures(2020-05-07T04:00:00Z) KAPICIOĞLU, Mehmet; Erden, Tunay; Bilgin, Emre; Bilsel, Kerem; KAPICIOĞLU, MEHMET; ERDEN, TUNAY; BİLSEL, İSMAIL KEREMPurpose Neer type II distal clavicle fractures are associated with a high rate of non-union or malunion due to impaired coracoclavicular ligament stability. The purpose of this study was to assess the clinical and radiological outcomes of arthroscopically assisted indirect osteosynthesis for type II distal clavicle fractures using a cortical suture button device. Methods Seventeen patients Neer type II fractures of the distal clavicle were treated surgically using cortical suture button fixation between 2012 and 2017. The clinical and radiological results were assessed using the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Shoulder Score (ASES), Constant-Murley score and visual analogue scale (VAS) score. Results Anatomic reduction and bone healing were achieved in all patients at the final follow-up. The median age of the patients was 31 years (range 19-57). The mean follow-up was 25.9 months (range 14-64). The average delay before surgery was 2 days (range 1-4). At the final follow-up, the mean ASES, Constant-Murley score and VAS score were 92.6 +/- 3.2 (range 84.9-96.6), 96.2 +/- 2.4 (range 92-100) and 0.47 +/- 0.51 (range 0-1), respectively. All patients were able to resume work as well as sport activities. The postoperative complications included two coracoid process fractures, and none of the patients required additional surgery related to the index procedure. Conclusion All arthroscopic coracoclavicular button fixation of Neer type II distal clavicle fractures would provide sufficient stability and union with satisfactory radiological and clinical outcomes. This arthroscopic fixation technique would be more efficient than other osteosynthesis methods because it is a minimally invasive surgery with a low complication rate.Publication Metadata only Periprosthetic joint infection with streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis: Case report(2020-01-01T00:00:00Z) Erden, Tunay; Gultepe, Bilge Sumbul; KÜÇÜKDURMAZ, FATİH; ERDEN, TUNAY; SÜMBÜL, BİLGEStreptococcus dysgalactiae (SD) is a common pathogen among elderly population. However, to our knowledge, there is no periprosthetic joint infection case reported that is infected with Streptococcus dysgalactiae subspecies equisimilis (SDSE) in the English literature. In this article, we report a 77 -year -old male patient who had undergone total knee arthroplasty three years ago and had the diagnosis of cellulitis at his leg followed by swelling, pain and hyperemia localized at his knee. Three knee aspirations were performed and the SDSE was identified. There was no direct contact of patient to animals.Publication Open Access Comparison of Clinical Outcomes and Safety of Single-stage Bilateral and Unilateral Unicompartmental Knee Arthroplasty(2019-01-01T00:00:00Z) YILDIZ, FATİH; Erden, Tunay; UZER, GÖKÇER; TUNCAY, İBRAHİM; YILDIZ, FATİH; ERDEN, TUNAY; UZER, GÖKÇER; TUNCAY, İBRAHİMObjective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of bilateral Oxford medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in the patients under a single anesthetic procedure. Methods: Between October 2013 and December 2015, 225 knees of 181 (age 67.5 years) patients with at least two years of follow-up were evaluated. They were divided into two groups as unilateral group (group 1, n=137) and one stage simultaneous bilateral group (group 2, n=44) for the comparisons. The outcome parameters were femoral and tibial component positions measured on the full-length radiographs, clinical outcomes using Oxford Knee Score (OKS), International Knee Documentation Committee Score (IKDC), patient reported satisfaction and complications. Results: Between the groups, the mean follow-up periods (p=0.125), age (p=0.447), preoperative body mass index (p=0.288), OKS (p=0.314) and IKDC (p=0.127) scores were not significantly different. Postoperatively, the mean flexion of the femoral component (p=0.544), posterior slope (p=0.511), varus-valgus angulation of the tibial components (p=0.358) were statistically similar berwcen groups. Although the mcan varus-valgus angulation of the femoral components (p=0.033) was statistically different between groups, the difference was too small to make clinical significance. The mean postoperative OKS (p=0.272) and IKDC (p=0.106) were similar between the groups. In group 1, 21 (16.0%) patients reported excellent, 91 (69.5%) good and 4 (3.1%) moderate satisfaction. Fifteen (11.5%) patients reported non-satisfaction. In group 2, patients reported excellent satisfaction in 20 (24.4%) knees, good in 50 (61.0%) knees patients moderate in 2(2.4%) knees. Patients reported non-satisfaction in 10 (12.2%) knees (p>0.05). Eight (5.8%) complications in group 1 and, 3 (3.4%) complications in group 2 were observed. The number of complications was not statistically different between the groups (p=0.535). Conclusion: One-stage simultaneous bilateral Oxford medial UKA is a safe and effective method with acceptable complication rates compared to unilateral surgery.
