Publication High-dose short-course oral corticosteroid protocol for treatment of primary frozen shoulder: A retrospective cohort study(Sage Publications Ltd, 2021-07-01) Atıcı, Teoman; Ermutlu, Cenk; Akesen, Selcan; Özyalçın, Ali; ATICI, TEOMAN; ERMUTLU, CENK; AKESEN, SELCAN; ÖZYALÇIN, ALİ; Tıp Fakültesi; Anesteziyoloji ve Yoğun Bakım Bölümü; 0000-0002-3396-3407; AEQ-5464-2022; A-5095-2018; ELR-9087-2022; FPA-5997-2022Objective To evaluate the effect of high-dose prednisolone on the functional outcome of patients with early-stage primary frozen shoulder. Methods Eighteen patients treated with oral prednisolone at an initial dose of 1 mg/kg/day for primary frozen shoulder were retrospectively evaluated. The patients' range of motion, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) score, Constant-Murley score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, and visual analog scale score were recorded at baseline and at 4 weeks and 6 months after treatment. Results Rapid recovery of shoulder motion was noted at 4 weeks with the exception of abduction, which was maintained at 6 months. Significant improvement in pain perception and the Constant-Murley score was evident at 4 weeks and extended to 6 months. The DASH and ASES scores did not show significant improvement in the first 4 weeks but were significantly improved at 6 months. Conclusion High-dose oral prednisolone treatment provides rapid symptom resolution that persists long after drug discontinuation. The early treatment period is characterized by marked reduction in pain and rapid recovery of shoulder motion. Improvements in functional outcomes and disability indices tend to be more subtle in the early period but significantly improve during late treatment.Publication Efficacy of single-dose radiotherapy in preventing posttraumatic tendon adhesion(Springernature, 2020-06-02) Ermutlu, Cenk; ERMUTLU, CENK; Kaleli, Tufan; KALELİ, HÜSEYİN TUFAN; Yalçınkaya, Ulviye; YALÇINKAYA, ÜLVİYE; Çetintaş, Sibel; ÇETİNTAŞ, SİBEL; Atıcı, Teoman; ATICI, TEOMAN; Tıp Fakültesi; Ortopedi Ana Bilim Dalı; 0000-0001-8259-3695; 0000-0003-1109-8958; 0000-0002-3396-3407; AAH-8924-2021; AAB-6136-2022; A-5095-2018; AAB-2795-2021Background and AimPosttraumatic peritendinous adhesion is the greatest obstacle to achieve normal tendon function following lacerations of extrinsic flexor tendons of the hand. In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether single-dose radiotherapy (RT) has the potential to modulate intrasynovial tendon adhesions.Materials and MethodsA total of 80 tendons from the third to fourth flexor profundus of both hind paws of 20 adult New Zealand rabbits were used in this study. Rabbits in the RT group received 3 Gy of X-irradiation in a single fraction. Histopathological evaluation of longitudinal sections of tendons was made using the Tang grading system for peritendinous adhesions. Intratendinous quality of the healing tissue in the laceration zone was assessed using a modified Movin scale.ResultsAdhesion and inflammatory response were greater in the RT group (p(<)0.001). Tendon healing in the radiation group was found to he more uniform and organized compared with the control group. However, this difference was not statistically significant. The nuclei of the tenocytes in the radiation group showed a closer resemblance to normal tendon tissue when compared with the control group (p=0.007).ConclusionsDespite RT's certain advantages such as extracorporeal use, anti-inflammatory effect, and homogenous tissue penetration, 3-Gy X-irradiation resulted in increased peritendinous posttraumatic adhesion, possibly due to dose imbalance. Increased roundness in the tenocyte nuclei was present in the RT group. Studies with different dosing regimens and a higher number of subjects are necessary to establish an ideal dose suppressing the synovial response without compromising tendon healing.Publication Comparison of radiofrequency ablation and curettage in osteoid osteoma in children(Atha Comunicacao & Editora, 2019-03-01) Göksel, Ferdi; Aycan, Aye; Ermutlu, Cenk; ERMUTLU, CENK; Gölge, Umut Hatay; Sarısözen, Bartu; SARISÖZEN, MEHMET BARTU; 0000-0002-9730-5454; 0000-0001-8259-3695; 0000-0003-4071-8052; ABI-7283-2020; AAB-2795-2021Objective: Osteoid osteoma, which is observed in the adolescent and young adult population as benign bone tumors, appears as a single nidus with a diameter < 2 cm and is treated with open surgery. However, technological advances in medicine have made it possible to apply less invasive procedures in surgery. Methods: Between 2006-2014, 24 patients < 18 years of age were treated for osteoid osteoma. Patient demographic data, surgical data, complications, and recurrences were noted. Results: Twenty-four patients (mean age, 11 [2-18] years) were treated and followed up for a mean 3.58 (range, 1-9) years. Mean patient age in the curettage group was 12.1 (range, 3-18) years. Mean operation length was 69.5 (range, 60-120) minutes. Mean hospital stay was 1.3 (range, 0-2) days. Mean patient age in the radiofrequency ablation (RFA) group was 10.7 (range, 2-17) years. Five patients were female and 8 were male. Mean operation length was 49.6 (range, 20-90) minutes. Mean hospital stay was 0.3 (range, 0-1) days. Mean follow-up time was 1.76 (range, 1-4) years. Mean operation length, hospital stay, and follow-up were significantly shorter in the RFA group. Conclusions: Considering reduced costs due to shorter hospitalization periods and the ability to reach anatomically difficult locations, percutaneous procedures are likely to replace the conventional open approach.Publication Comparison of efficacy between the genicular nerve block and the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee (IPACK) block for total knee replacement surgery: A prospective randomized controlled study(Türkiye Ortopedi Travmatoloji, 2021-03-01) Akesen, Selcan; Akesen, Burak; Atıcı, Teoman; Gurbet, Alp; Ermutlu, Cenk; Özyalçın, Ali; AKESEN, SELCAN; AKESEN, BURAK; ATICI, TEOMAN; GURBET, ALP; ERMUTLU, CENK; ÖZYALÇIN, ALİ; Tıp Fakültesi; Anesteziyoloji ve Reanimasyon Ana Bilim Dalı; 0000-0002-3396-3407; 0000-0002-6503-8232; JHR-5447-2023; AEQ-5464-2022; ELR-9087-2022; AAH-9833-2021; A-5095-2018; A-7994-2018Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee (IPACK) block and genicular nerve block on postoperative pain scores, the need for rescue analgesics, range of motion (ROM), walking distance, and perioperative monitorization variables in patients undergoing total knee replacement (TKR) surgery.Methods: Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I-III patients were enrolled in this study and then were randomly assigned into three groups: the IPACK block group (17 female, 3 male; mean age=67.5 +/- 1.4 years), genicular nerve block (16 female, 4 male; mean age=68 +/- 1.76 years), and the control group (13 female, 7 male; mean age=63 +/- 1.67years). All the patients underwent TKR under spinal anesthesia. The visual analog scale (VAS) score, mobility, pre- and intra-operative monitorization of systolic and diastolic holding area, non-invasive blood pressure, heart rate, and SPO 2 were compared between the groups.Results: Patients in the IPACK and genicular block groups had a significantly lower visual analogous scale (VAS) at postoperative 4 hours (p<0.01), 8h (p<0.01), 12h (p<0.01), and 24h (p<0.05). VAS score was significantly lower in the genicular block group at the postoperative 4h (5.5 +/- 0.55) and 8h (5.0 +/- 0.53) in the mobile state compared to the IPACK (8.0 +/- 0.47 and 8.0 +/- 0.43, respectively) and the control group (9.5 +/- 0.20; 10 +/- 0.28, respectively) (p<0.01). The use of patient-controlled-analgesia (PCA) devices and button push count for analgesics demand were significantly lower in the genicular block group on the immediate postoperative period (p<0.01 at the postoperative 0 to 4 h). The total consumption of morphine equivalents on the postoperative day 0 was significantly lower in the genicular block group (p<0.01, and p<0.001 for IPACK and control groups, respectively). The degree of flexion was significantly higher in the genicular block group at the postoperative 12h compared to the IPACK and the control group (p<0.001). The length of hospital stay was significantly lower in the genicular block group compared to the IPACK and the control group (p<0.05 for both variables).Conclusion: IPACK and genicular blocks both are effective in improving patient comfort during and after TKR surgery and reducing the potential need for systemic analgesic and opioids. The genicular block seems to be a promising technique that can offer improved pain management in the immediate and early postoperative period without adverse effects on systemic and motor variables.Publication Bone loss following cementless hemiarthroplasty for the treatment of femoral neck fracture(Springer Heidelberg, 2020-01-31) Murat, Mert; Ermutlu, Cenk; Ünkar, Ethem Ayhan; Topalhafızoğlu, Sertaç; Şenel, Ahmet; Öztürkmen, Yusuf; ERMUTLU, CENK; Uludağ Üniversite; Tıp Fakültesi; Ortopedi ve Travmatoloji Ana Bilim Dalı; AAB-2795-2021Background With the advances in medicine, an increasing number of the ageing population are a public health concern in terms of age-related complications. Among them, displaced neck fractures often require surgical intervention or arthroplasty to achieve the mobilization of the elderly and good life quality. The aim of the study is to monitor the changes in bone mineral density (BMD) around the femoral stem and the effects on functional outcomes in patients treated with cementless hemiarthroplasty following femoral neck fracture. Materials and Methods Seventy-one patients aged 70 years or older who were treated with cementless hemiarthroplasty for a displaced femoral neck fracture were prospectively followed for 2 years. The percent change in the periprosthetic BMD in each Gruen zone was compared to the baseline using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Demographic factors [age, body mass index (BMI), and sex] that could possibly influence BMD and the clinical outcome were evaluated. Results Fifty-one patients were available for the final follow-up. The mean age was 76.5 (range 70-89) years. The mean BMI was 28.9 (range 22.7-37.2). The mean Harris hip score at the final follow-up was 84.3 (range 72-93). There was a significant decrease in BMD in all Gruen zones (p < 0.001), except in zone 3 (R3, p = 0.547). The reduction in BMD was highest in the calcar and the greater trochanter region. The femur diaphysis was relatively spared, with zone 3 showing no significant bone mineral loss. The age and BMI of the patients were not correlated with the postoperative change in BMD in any of the Gruen zones. The degree of reduction in bone density was not correlated with the clinical outcome. Conclusions Cementless hemiarthroplasty for the treatment of femoral neck fracture in elderly patients achieves a good clinical outcome despite significant bone loss around the femoral stem. The reduction in BMD is more pronounced in the metaphyseal region.Publication Primary treatment of complex proximal humerus fractures using humelock cementless reversible shoulder arthroplasty in the elderly(Turkish Assoc Trauma Emergency Surgery, 2021-07-01) ; Atici, Teoman; ATICI, TEOMAN; Ermutlu, Cenk; ERMUTLU, CENK; Yerebakan, Selcan; Özyalcin, Ali; ÖZYALÇIN, ALİ; Tıp Fakültesi; Anestezi ve Reanimasyon Ana Bilim Dalı; 0000-0002-3396-3407; AEQ-5464-2022BACKGROUND: Proximal humerus fractures are quite common, constituting 5% of all fractures. Plate osteosynthesis of comminuted fractures in the elderly with osteoporotic bones is prone to complications, including loss of reduction, intraarticular protrusion of screws, avascular necrosis and non-union. Hemiarthroplasty may be preferred to achieve a stable fixation, which permits early shoulder motion. Prerequisites for the successful functional outcome of this surgical technique are to have an intact rotator cuff, which is often torn, and achieve proper soft tissue balance, which is technically demanding. In RSA design, deltoid muscle replaces the function of the supraspinatus, compensating for a dysfunctional rotator cuff or a displaced tuberculum. We designed a retrospective study to evaluate the results of proximal humerus fractures treated with reverse shoulder arthroplasty using Humelock II reversible prosthesis in elderly patients.METHODS: Thirty-one patients (25 females, six males) above 65 years old who underwent reverse shoulder arthroplasty between 2014 and 2019 for Neer 3-4 part fractures or head split injuries were included in this study. Patients with a previous internal fixation attempt, cases with neurological deficit or previous upper extremity fractures, patients who presented later than three weeks after the trauma, cases with less than six months follow-up and patients with additional fractures were excluded. Twenty-eight patients were available for final analysis. Fracture mechanism, time from trauma till surgery, hospital stay and preoperative ASA scores were noted. Humelock II Reversible (FX Solutions) implants were used in all cases. Patients' shoulder range of motion and functional outcome using UCLA, DASH and Constant scores at minimum six months follow-up were evaluated.RESULTS: The mean age was 72.2 (65-95) years, and mean follow-up time was 15.5 (6-48) months. The mean UCLA, Constant and Dash scores at the last follow-up were 27.6 (14-35), 67.9 (38-80) and 30.8 (9.9-79.2), respectively. Mean shoulder flexion, abduction, internal and external rotation were 130 (110-160), 100 (70-140), 40 (15-60) and 39 (15-75) degrees, respectively.CONCLUSION: RSA is a very reliable treatment for proximal humerus fractures in patients over 65 years old. Early active and passive shoulder exercises can be started postoperatively, and good functional outcome and wide ROM can be achieved with this age group. Although stable fixation of the tuberculum is not required for shoulder abduction, it facilitates external rotation and should be attempted in all cases. Clinical outcomes of patients who underwent RSA due to proximal humerus fracture are as good as the outcomes of patients with different etiologies.Publication Evaluation of children with arthritis: 9 years retrospectif study(Galenos Yayınevi, 2020-08-01) Yeşil, Edanur; Çelebi, Solmaz; Özcan, Nur; Özer, Arife; Turan, Cansu; Bülbül, Beyhan; Ermutlu, Cenk; Sarısözen, Bartu; Hacımustafaoğlu, Mustafa; YEŞİL, EDANUR; ÇELEBİ, SOLMAZ; Özcan, Nur; Özer, Arife; TURAN, CANSU; BÜLBÜL, BEYHAN; ERMUTLU, CENK; SARISÖZEN, MEHMET BARTU; HACIMUSTAFAOĞLU, MUSTAFA KEMAL; Tıp Fakültesi; Ortopedi ve Travmatoloji Ana Bilim Dalı; Çocuk Enfeksiyon Bilim Dalı; 0000-0002-8926-9959; 0000-0003-3146-6391; 0000-0002-5720-1212; 0000-0003-4071-8052; 0000-0003-4646-660X; GSO-3630-2022; AEQ-5464-2022; JCD-9679-2023; ENK-4130-2022; JRU-9977-2023; DLB-3888-2022; IVB-4013-2023; GAX-3172-2022; ABI-7283-2020; CTG-5805-2022INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and laboratory findings and treatment responses of patients with arthritis.MATERIALS and METHODS: The medical records of 111 children (0-18 years) were evaluated who were hospitalized with the diagnosis of arthritis between January 2010 and January 2019 retrospectively. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and laboratory findings and to investigate the treatment and prognostic features of the patients.RESULTS: : A total of 111 patients, 66% were male and the mean age was 91+56 (median 83,1-215) months. The most of the patients (n=62,56%) were between 3-10 years of age. Septic arthritis was diagnosed in 60% (n=67) of the patients. This diagnosis was followed by reactive arthritis (10%), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (10%), toxic/transient synovitis (5%) and other arthritis. On admission, there were pain in 96%, joint swelling in 63%, redness in 21%, increased temperature of the joint in 41%, decreased range of motion in 64%, and inability to walk in 38% of the patients. The most frequently involved joints were knee (51%) and hip (35%). The possibility of septic arthritis was significantly higher in patients with high fever (p=0,0001). The response to ibuprofen was higher in non-septic arthritis (p=0,0001). Arthrocentesis was performed in 55% (n=61) of the cases and 34% (n=38) of the patients had underwent intra-articular debridement surgery. Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes were the most common microorganisms growth in joint fluid culture. When septic arthritis and other arthritis cases were compared, the effusion amount, the amount of fluid taken by puncture were significantly higher and the level of CRP and leukocytes were higher in septic arthritis group (p=0,001;p=0,025;p=0,018;p=0,032,respectively). Osteomyelitis was observed in 19%(n=21) of the cases.CONCLUSIONS: In this study, the probability of septic arthritis was found to be statistically significant in patients with fever, leukocyte>12100/mm(3), CRP>3 mg/dl, and effusion measured 8.5 mm or more by ultrasonography. Also, ibuprofen response was higher in non-septic arthritis group.Publication Evaluation of titanium release from titanium alloy implants in patients with spinal instrumentation(Sage Publications Ltd, 2021-01-01) Ulusaloğlu, Armağan Can; Atıcı, Teoman; Ermutlu, Cenk; Akesen, Selcan; ATICI, TEOMAN; ERMUTLU, CENK; AKESEN, SELCAN; Tıp Fakültesi; Ortopedi ve Travmatoloji Ana Bilim Dalı; 0000-0002-3396-3407; AEQ-5464-2022; A-5095-2018; ELR-9087-2022ObjectiveThis study was performed to investigate the baseline serum titanium levels in patients with short-segment titanium alloy posterior instrumentation and to assess patient-, implant-, and surgery-related factors that might affect the serum titanium level.MethodTwo groups of patients were included in the study. The study group comprised 39 patients who had undergone short-segment posterior instrumentation from January 2013 to June 2016. The control group comprised 11 randomly selected patients who presented to the outpatient clinic with no history of orthopedic surgery. The serum titanium levels and inter-group differences were analyzed.ResultsThe mean serum titanium level was significantly higher in the study group than in the control group. No significant difference was observed between patients with different etiologies, implants used for fusion, numbers of instrumented segments, or postoperative durations.ConclusionThe serum titanium levels of patients with posterior lumbar spinal instrumentation are significantly higher than those of the normal population even after achievement of solid fusion. These levels are not affected by the use of transverse connectors, the use of cages, the operated segments, or the duration of implants.Publication Augmenting posterolateral fusion with transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion cage improves clinical outcome, but not fusion rate, of posterior decompression(Sage Publications, 2020-04-01) Atıcı, Teoman; Yerebakan, Selcan; Ermutlu, Cenk; Özyalçın, Ali; ATICI, TEOMAN; Yerebakan, Selcan; ERMUTLU, CENK; ÖZYALÇIN, ALİ; Tıp Fakültesi; Anesteziyoloji ve Yoğun Bakım Ana Bilim Dalı; 0000-0002-9518-541X; 0000-0001-8259-3695; 0000-0003-3772-1699; AAB-2795-2021; EGQ-9946-2022 ; A-5095-2018; JHR-5447-2023ObjectiveThis study was performed to compare fusion rates and clinical outcomes of posterior decompression by posterolateral fusion (PLF) versus transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) for treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study involved 157 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis treated with instrumented PLF alone or instrumented PLF combined with TLIF from 2010 to 2018. The patients were divided into two groups: the PLF group (Group A), in which posterior decompression with instrumented PLF was performed, and the cage-augmented group (Group B), in which TLIF was added to the procedures described for the PLF group. Patient outcomes (Oswestry Disability Index, visual analog scale score, and 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey scores) and fusion rates were compared.ResultsThe fusion rate was similar between the two groups. Among patients with two- and three-level fusion, improvements in the clinical outcome scores were significantly greater in Group B than Group A.ConclusionCombining TLIF with PLF provides better clinical outcomes than PLF alone when multilevel fusion is indicated. TLIF augmentation does not improve the fusion rates in either single- or multi-level surgery.Publication Less malunion and shorter bone union time with titanium elastic nail treatment for isolated femoral shaft fractures in three- to six-year-old children(Springernature, 2022-02-18) Eken, Gökay; EKEN, GÖKAY; Ermutlu, Cenk; ERMUTLU, CENK; Sarısözen, Bartu; SARISÖZEN, MEHMET BARTU; Atıcı, Teoman; ATICI, TEOMAN; Çakar, Adnan; DURAK, KEMAL; ÇAKAR, ADNAN; Tıp Fakültesi; Ortopedi ve Travmatoloji Ana Bilim Dalı; 0000-0003-4071-8052; 0000-0002-3396-3407; AEQ-5464-2022; ABE-9918-2021Purpose Titanium elastic nail (TEN) is a good option for femoral shaft fractures in school-age children, whereas a spica cast is favored for younger patients. We aimed to compare these treatment modalities in a group of children aged three to six years. Methods 34 patients aged 3-6 years with an isolated closed femoral shaft fracture treated with TEN or one-leg spica cast immobilization were retrospectively assessed. Age, gender, weight, mechanism of injury, hospital stay time, bone union time, radiographic shortening, malunion, and complications were compared between the treatment groups. Results 16 (47.1%) patients who were treated with TEN (Group T) and 18 (52.9%) patients with spica casting (Group S) were included with a mean of 51 (24-94) months follow-up. The mean age was 4.98 years and statistically similar between both groups (mean, 5.2 vs. 4.8 years; p = 0.234). The patients in Group T were heavier (mean, 19.3 vs. 17.2 kg; p < 0.001) and were more likely to have a higher-energy mechanism of injury (p = 0.006). The mean late femoral shortening of Group S patient's was 6.5 +/- 3.5 mm and significantly higher than Group T, which was 2.0 +/- 2.9 (p = 0.050). However, effective late femoral shortening rates were not statistically different between groups (p = 0.347). Malunion was seen in six (33.3%) patients in Group S, whereas none of the patients in Group T had malunion at the last follow-up examination and were statistically different (p = 0.011). Conclusion Our study identified radiographic evidence favoring TEN over spica cast immobilization in treating preschool-age children with an isolated femoral shaft fracture in terms of malunion.
