Case ReportsDelayed osteochondral fracture fixation of the knee in a pediatric patient.
The frequency of osteochondral fractures in the knee joint in the pediatric population is not clearly known. Although fragment fixation is generally considered to be the ideal treatment method in acute injuries, the data of the results of late fixation in neglected and/or late-diagnosed cases are very limited. In this paper, we report our findings regarding the fixation of a delayed large osteochondral fracture in lateral femoral condyle in a pediatric patient.

Comparative StudyComparison of two different proximal femoral nails in instabil intertrochanteric fractures concerning radiological parameters.
The aim of this study was to compare two different nail types (i.e., Intertan (IT) and Talon Distal Fix Nail / Lag Screw (TDFN)) used in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures in mobile patients over 65 years of age in terms of radiological parameters. ⋯ Intertan nail is superior to TDFN in preventing varus collapse and the cut-out complications as well as in maintaining of radiological parameters until fracture union. On the other hand, the higher complication rate is a disadvantage of this nail.

Assessment of demographic, clinical and histopathological features of patients who underwent appendectomy due to a presumed diagnosis of acute appendicitis.
To compare the clinical, biochemical, and histopathological features of patients who underwent appendectomy due to a presumed diagnosis of acute appendicitis (AAp). ⋯ This study suggests that a relationship exists between demographic features, histopathological findings of appendectomy specimens, seasons, days of the week, and working days in patients undergoing appendectomy.

The primitive cable car (varangel) accident-related fatalities: A retrospective autopsy study.
The primitive cable car is the generic name given to the cable transportation settings driven between one or more steel cables is known as 'varangel.' In this retrospective autopsy study, it was aimed to discuss the common injury patterns of the fatalities associated with the use of these primitive cable car systems. ⋯ Primitive cable cars may be fatal and must be under official control.

Case ReportsManagement of tracheal stenosis after corrosive acid ingestion: A case report.
Although corrosive injury of the digestive tract is a well-known clinical entity, damages of the airway and a critically life-threatening condition, have not been clearly documented. Tracheal stenosis is very rare associated with corrosive acid ingestion. ⋯ She was treated by serial dilation, repair of tracheal laceration, and placement of a temporary polyurethane-coated nitinol stent. Careful and accurate stent placement may provide significant and life-saving airway improvement as observed in the presenting pediatric case.
