Repairing peripheral nerve defects by vein grafts filled with adipose tissue derived stromal vascular fraction: an experimental study in rats.
There are many studies in the literature combining vein grafts with cell cultures, muscle, tendon, and nerve tissues, but none of them could replace isolated nerve grafts for nerve repair in clinical settings. There are studies in the literature indicating that adipose tissue derived stromal vascular fraction (SVF) enhances peripheral nerve healing. Considering these facts, an experimental study was performed in rats based on combining SVF with vein grafts for peripheral nerve defect repairs. ⋯ In conclusion, our results support the usage of stromal vascular fraction-vein graft combination for peripheral nerve defect repairs.

Comparative StudyThe comparison of triceps-reflecting anconeus pedicle and olecranon osteotomy approaches in the treatment of intercondylar fractures of the humerus.
This study aimed to evaluate the functional outcomes of patients with intra-articular distal humerus fractures treated with triceps-reflecting anconeus pedicle (TRAP) and olecranon osteotomy. ⋯ TRAP is a succesful approach in the treatmet of intra-articular distal humerus fractures that provides better arc of elbow motion, reduces complications and reoperation rates.

Observational StudySurvival probability in self immolation attempters: a prospective observational cohort study.
Self-immolation is one of the most violent methods of suicide in developing countries. The objective of the present study was to investigate the survival rate and factors affecting survival of self-immolation patients. ⋯ Burn percentage is the strongest risk factor, those with high burns percentage should be hospitalized quickly and without waste of time.

Comparative StudySurgical treatment of distal tibia fractures: open versus MIPO.
Treatment of the distal tibial fractures are challenging due to the limited soft tissue, subcutaneous location and poor vascularity. In this control-matched study, it was aimed to compare the traditional open reduction and internal fixation with minimal invasive plating (MIPO). We hypothesized that superior results may be achieved with MIPO technique. ⋯ MIPO technique can be beneficial for the treatment of distal tibia AO/OTA A and B type fractures with reduced hospital stay, cost-effectiveness, and infection rate.

Case ReportsInteresting X-ray and computed tomography images of a cervical trauma patient.
Patients admitted to emergency departments with loss of consciousness following trauma often have cervical vertebrae fractures and spinal cord injuries with a ratio of 5-10%. Computed tomography (CT) and radiography are important for diagnosis. The aim of this study was to describe the interesting CT and radiography findings of a patient who had C3-4 dislocation anddistraction that was called shearing injury. ⋯ Images were interesting. NEXUS and Canadian Rules were also referred to for clinical evaluation. Imaging modalities, espacially reformatted CT images, make it easier to diagnose where and what the problem is.
