Ultrasonographic comparison of bilateral patellar tendon dimensions in patients treated via intramedullary tibial nailing using a transpatellar approach.
One of the most common complications following intramedullary nailing of a tibial shaft fracture is anterior knee pain. The etiology of pain remains unclear. Patellar tendon entry point is the most suspected reason for anterior knee pain. This study, sonographically examined the patellar tendons of patients treated via intramedullary nailing. ⋯ Level IV, therapeutic study.

ReviewWorldwide arthroplasty research productivity and contribution of Turkey.
Bibliometrics is increasingly used to assess the quantity and quality of scientific research output in many research fields worldwide. However, to the best of our knowledge, no studies have documented the main characteristics of arthroplasty publications from different countries. This study aimed to evaluate the worldwide research productivity and status of Turkey in the field of arthroplasty using bibliometric methods and to provide an insight into the arthroplasty research for surgeons and researchers. ⋯ There is a rapid increase in the number of articles in arthroplasty research from 2006 to 2016. The United States was the most productive country as measured by total publications in the arthroplasty field. However, some small European countries with high in-come have higher quality of articles and better productivity when adjusted for population. Gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and research foundation had positive affect on arthroplasty publications, both qualitatively and quantitatively.
