Wrist ganglion cysts typically do not show noticeable symptoms but can affect aesthetics and even compress adjacent blood vessels and nerves. Compression therapy can eliminate cysts. ⋯ This study examined a rare case of a wrist ganglion cyst that, after repeated compression and recurrence, enveloped the radial artery. This not only caused wrist swelling and pain but also increased the difficulty and risk of surgical treatment.

In this study, it was aimed to screen fatty liver in individuals with metabolic disorders, and to investigate the use of some anthropometric calculations and body composition indices in demonstrating fatty liver disease. ⋯ As a result of our study, we found that various body composition indices, especially BRI, were associated with fatty liver. Especially in female, it was seen that screening of fatty liver with cut-off values of body composition indices, and confirmation by ultrasonography, if necessary, may enable early diagnosis. In male, it was seen that body composition indices and fatty liver could not be determined directly, only BMI and waist circumference were indicative.

To investigate and compare the median nerve-cross sectional area at the wrist region of the dominant and non-dominant hands of high- and low- smartphone users. ⋯ Smartphone overuse resulted in an enlarged median nerve, especially in the dominant hand.

To explore the therapeutic effect of titanium locking plate combined with suture anchor (SA) repair in the treatment of proximal humeral fractures (PHF). ⋯ In patients with PHF, the combination of titanium locking plate and SA has a more significant therapeutic effect than that of titanium locking plate alone, which is associated with improved shoulder joint function and range of motion, and reduced incidence of complications.

To determine gender and ethnic distribution of developmental dysplasia of hip in newborns using Graf method for ultrasound. To determine the significance of association between developmental dysplasia of hip with ethnicity in newborns using Graf's method ultrasound. ⋯ There is no significant difference in incidence of DDH with gender. However, there is a significant association between ethnicity and incidence of developmental dysplasia of hip in neonates of 28 days age. Incidence of DDH is high in the Sindhi, Punjabi and Pathan populations.
