Domestic electric drills in the service of orthopaedic surgery: a potential and preventable source of surgical site infections
(2012-11-01) Kucukdurmaz, FATİH; IMREN, Yunus; Akkoyunlu, YASEMİN; Tuncay, Ibrahim; SEN, Cengiz; KÜÇÜKDURMAZ, FATİH; AKKOYUNLU, YASEMİN; TUNCAY, İBRAHİM
Objective: We aimed to assess the contamination potential of the exhaust air from venting ports of running domestic electric drills which are commonly used in orthopaedic surgeries by means of both microbiological sampling and particle counting. Methods: In an empty operating room, the exhaust air from five running sterile domestic electric drills measured using a particle counter and microbiological sampling was made via aspirating isolator with colony formations noted for a 2-week period. International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14644 criteria were implemented with respect to the sterility standards. Results: All of the drills produced statistically significantly higher levels of particles than the ambient air (p<0.01). There was no statistically significant difference in the number of collected particles among drills (p>0.05). No bacterial growth was detected in microbiological sampling via blood agar medium in the ambient air. Conversely, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Micrococcus luteus, and Staphylococcus capitis were isolated from the exhaust air of all running drills. There was no correlation between the number of particles produced by drills and the microbiological sampling. Conclusion: Domestic electric drills are not safe and may be a direct source of surgical site infection, as the use or re-use of these drills during orthopaedic surgery increases the risk of infection with contaminated aerosols that are produced by these devices.

Do dynamic condylar screw-plates lead to iatrogenic fracture?
(2013-01-01T00:00:00Z) Aytekin, Mahmut Nedim; KÜÇÜKDURMAZ, FATİH; Celik, Ismail; ESMER, ALİ FIRAT; Akpinar, Fuat; KÜÇÜKDURMAZ, FATİH
Aim: Although many anatomic, morphologic, and radiologic studies have been carried out for the femur, as for all other bones of the skeletal system, we could not find any morphometric studies useful for orthopedic surgeons who want to understand the effects of dynamic condylar screw-plates (DCS-Plates) on the distal femur. The aim of this study was to determine the amount of cortex loss in the distal femur when inserting a DCS-Plate.

Straight versus S-shaped sternotomy: a histologic study in the sheep model
(2014-10-01) KÜÇÜKDURMAZ, FATİH; İNAN, BEKİR; KÜÇÜKDURMAZ, FATİH
Introduction: Straight sternotomy is the most common access for open heart surgery. Techniques have been proposed for maximizing sternal stability in high-risk patients. This trend implies a growing need for newer surgical techniques. The aim of this experimental study in the sheep model is to evaluate median vs. S shaped sternotomy the feasibility of using a special device to accelerate the sternal instability and bone healing. Materials and methods: We enrolled 31 sheep, weighing 18–30 kg. For all animals a midline skin incision was made. In group I (n = 16 animals), straight median sternotomy and in group II (n = 15 animals), S-shaped incision was marked on the periosteum of the sternum by new created device for standard S-shaped sternotomy. Sternum biopsies were performed on second surgery month for all survived animals from the sternum and the surrounding soft tissue. Results: No early superficial wound complications were observed. Overall mortality in the initial approach group was 19.3% (6 sheep). In group I; 3 sheep had died on first surgery day, the reason may be hemorrhage and in group II; 3 sheep developed intractable VF during surgery procedure or immediately afterwards so died. There were statistically significant differences in the scores of bone healing between group 1 and group 2 (4.2 vs.7.3, ANOVA, p < 0.001). Discussion: Our work is based on the use of a standard S-shaped sternotomy procedure on sheep sternum. In our experience with the sternal healing in the sheep model, the process of new bone formation was accelerated with S- shaped cut than straight sternotomy procedure

A novel intramedullary nail for use in the treatment of supramalleolar malunion and nonunion: A preliminary report of three cases
(2016-10-01) KÜÇÜKDURMAZ, FATİH; KÜÇÜKDURMAZ, FATİH
Introduction: The fractures around the supramalleolar region are difficult to manage and deformities may occur following insufficient or inadequate treatment attempts. The treatment of those deformities is even more challenging. The available options for surgical fixation have inherent problems considering the soft tissue problems, infection and compliance of the patients. In this study, we report the preliminary outcome of new IMN system in use of supramalleolar deformities. Patients and methods: Three patients with supramalleolar deformities were recruited for this study. Two patients had periarticular distal tibia malunions and one patient had nonunion in same region. All patients were operated with using newly designed intramedullary nail system with a unique distal interlocking bolt screw. The outcome for each patient was followed-up and evaluated with using AOFAS score. Results: The patients were followed up for 3 years, 3 months, and 6 months, respectively. The AOFAS scores were 36, 33, and 21 preoperatively; and 75, 68, and 75 postoperatively in Patients 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Conclusion: In our patient series, adequate fixation following correction of the deformity was seen. Although the number of the cases are limited this study provides encouraging results regarding the outcome of new IMN system in use of supramalleolar deformities.

Morphometry of the medial tibial plateau in Turkish knees: correlation to the current tibial components of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
(2014-03-01) Kucukdurmaz, FATİH; Tuncay, Ibrahim; Elmadag, Mehmet; TUNCER, Nejat; KÜÇÜKDURMAZ, FATİH; TUNCAY, İBRAHİM; ELMADAĞ, NUH MEHMET
Objective: The objective of this study was to measure the resected surfaces of the tibia in knees of Turkish patients and to compare these measurements with the dimensions of tibial implants in current use. Methods: We made measurements of seven different dimensions of the medial tibial plateau at the virtual resection level for unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) on MRIs of 260 patients and the most commonly used four UKA implants in Turkey. Statistical analysis was performed by using Student's t-test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), chi-square test and Pearson's correlation coefficient by using SPSS software. Results: The anteroposterior and widest mediolateral dimensions of the tibial plateau of Turkish knees were found relatively more approximate to the dimensions of Oxford and Zuk prostheses compared to that of Accuris and Mitus (p<0.001). The distance between the central mediolateral dimension and the widest mediolateral dimension was 2.4 (range: 0-6.3) mm in males and 2.6 (range: 0-6.2) mm in females. The maximum mediolateral dimension was found posterior to the central mediolateral dimension in the majority (202 out of 260) of cases. These findings point towards the asymmetry in the AP halves of the resected medial tibial condyle. Conclusion: Tibial components designed according to anthropometric measurements based on both Western and Asian populations do not perfectly meet the requirements of Turkish population. Designing different UKA prostheses for different populations are required for best fit.
