Pre- and post-treatment comparison of the anxiety, depression and stress conditions of fathers with children with developmental dysplasia of the hip in early childhood

To compare the pre-and post-treatment depression, anxiety, and stress scores of fathers with children who were diagnosed with Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) during early childhood screening and to investigate the effect of socio-demographic differences. We included the parents of children diagnosed with DDH during the screening program in early childhood in the study, and their emotional states before and after treatment were evaluated in our clinic between April 2020 and January 2021 using the Turkish version of the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). The effects of socio-demographic changes on emotional status before or after treatment were analyzed from the data obtained. The emotional states of the parents before and after the treatment were compared. A total of 40 men with a mean age of 26.32 ± 4.40 years were included in the study. The participants' pre-treatment depression, anxiety, stress, and total scores were significantly higher when compared with the post-treatment scores (p = 0.001, p = 0.001, p = 0.001, p = 0.001, respectively). It was observed that socio-demographic variables did not affect depression, anxiety, and stress scores before or after treatment. It was observed that only the stress scores of the participants above the age of 30 before treatment were higher than the participants aged 20–24 (p = 0.020). In the fathers of children with DDH in early childhood, the increased levels of anxiety, depression, and stress before treatment create a temporary emotional state that regresses with treatment.

Rarely seen bilateral posterior shoulder fracture dislocation: simultaneous bilateral hemiarthroplasty

Posterior shoulder dislocation is a rare condition, while bilateral posterior shoulder fracture is extremely rare. Dislocations with a fracture of the bilateral posterior shoulder are observed more often after epileptic seizures. As dislocations with posterior shoulder fracture are rare, clinicians sometimes experience difficulty in diagnosing it timely. Although it can be diagnosed and treated early, based on a proper shoulder examination and accurate radiological imagery. In the treatment of posterior shoulder dislocations, closed reduction can be performed at an early stage, while methods of osteosynthesis with open reduction or arthroplasty are the most frequently used procedures at delayed stage. In this study, it was shown for the first time in literature, that a very rare case of dislocation with bilateral posterior shoulder fracture after epileptic seizure, in a 68 years old patient, had good clinical and functional results, following simultaneous hemiarthroplasty treatment.

Mediopatellar plica syndrome of the knee

Plica is a general term for folds in the synovial membrane of the knee. Sometimes plica can progress to a pathologic level and clinically important condition. Normally, plica has an elastic structure and slides softly between femur condyles when flexing or extending the knee. If it is inflamed and thickened due to edema, it loses its elasticity and becomes symptomatic

Comparison of Arthroscopic Treatment Methods in Talar Osteochondral Lesions A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized Clinical Trial

Background: The aim of the present study was to contribute new and updated information to the literature by comparing the clinical and radiologic results of arthroscopic microfracture, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) after arthroscopic microfracture, and BST-Cargel scaffold application after arthroscopic microfracture in the treatment of talar osteochondral lesions
