Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis of clavicular midshaft fractures under insertion guide.
The less invasive stabilization systems for the distal femur and proximal lateral tibia have been developed to simplify the surgical technique of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO). MIPO, however, has simply been introduced into clavicular midshaft fixation without the aid of insertion guide though the procedure for midshaft clavicular fractures was found to produce satisfactory clinical and radiologic outcomes without serious complications. The purpose of this study was to determine the outcome of MIPO of clavicular midshaft fractures using an insertion guide. ⋯ MIPO using insertion guide is believed to be an acceptable and effective choice in the operative treatment of clavicular midshaft fractures.

Mid-term outcomes of arthroscopic suture fixation technique in tibial spine fractures in the pediatric population.
Tibial spine fractures are avulsion injuries that are a similar mechanism to anterior cruciate ligament rupture. Although its incidence is not very common, it can cause possible complications and permanent sequelae in the knee joint if not treated correctly. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mid-term results of the arthroscopic suture technique for tibial spine fractures in a pediatric population. ⋯ The outcomes of the arthroscopic suture technique for the treatment of tibial spine fractures in a pediatric population were both clinically and functionally satisfactory. Anatomic reduction and early rehabilitation increased the success rate in the treatment of these fractures. Longer follow-up will provide more information.

2020 has started with Covid-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, govermental stringent precautions and lockdown measures have applied in Turkey. Although there was no limition for health care, people hesitate to go hospitals with the fear of Coronovirus transmission and all addmisions to hospitals decreased. ⋯ Covid-19 pandemic made people hesitate to go to hospital even for emergencies. Unfortunately this fear caused unexpected consequences. Patients have developed complications due to delayed addmisions to specified medical centers for specific health problems. As a result, patients requiring special treatment, should be encouraged to immediatly seek professional medical advice especially for reel emergencies even during pandemic.

The comparison of tracheostomy and translaryngeal intubation regarding free radical formation and pulmonary effects.
Our aim in this study was to compare the blood gas changes, the malondialdehyde (MDA) and endogenous antioxidant glutathione (GSH) levels in blood and lung tissues after ischemia/reperfusion, the histopathological damage in lung tissue in rats provided respiratory support with mechanical ventilation after translaryngeal intubation and tracheostomy. ⋯ This is the first study to show tracheostomy to be more advantageous than translaryngeal intubation in terms of blood gases, ischemia/reperfusion damage, and structural changes in the lung tissue.

Reverse sural flap: Our clinical experience with car tire injuries in the anterolateral aspect of the foot.
Defects due to car wheel injury at the anterolateral aspect of the foot are challenging due to the characteristics of the region and the trauma. The aim of this study was to present the results of the patients whose skin defects on the dorsolateral aspect of the foot due to tire injuries were treated with reverse sural artery fasciocutaneous flaps. ⋯ In case of tire injuries at the anterolateral aspect of the foot, low complication and high success rates can be achieved with a case-based approach with reverse sural artery fasciocutaneous flap coverage.
