Randomized Controlled TrialPrediction of clinical outcomes of single- and double- bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction techniques using magnetic resonance imaging.
The objective of the study is to compare the clinical results of the single-bundle (SB) and double-bundle (DB) anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repairing techniques using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). ⋯ The post-operative ACL angle can predict the degree of clinical recovery in patients undergoing SB ACL reconstruction.

Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis of clavicular midshaft fractures under insertion guide.
The less invasive stabilization systems for the distal femur and proximal lateral tibia have been developed to simplify the surgical technique of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO). MIPO, however, has simply been introduced into clavicular midshaft fixation without the aid of insertion guide though the procedure for midshaft clavicular fractures was found to produce satisfactory clinical and radiologic outcomes without serious complications. The purpose of this study was to determine the outcome of MIPO of clavicular midshaft fractures using an insertion guide. ⋯ MIPO using insertion guide is believed to be an acceptable and effective choice in the operative treatment of clavicular midshaft fractures.

Effect of boric acid on cartilage formation of osteochondral defects in rabbit knee: An experimental study.
The present study aimed to investigate the healing of articular cartilage with boric acid (BA) injection in an experimental cartilage defect model of rabbit knee. ⋯ The healing process of the cartilage injury could be improved by BA injection administration. In future, BA may safely be used as an additional treatment modality in clinical practice to enhance the healing process of cartilage injuries, which are commonly observed orthopedic problem.

Case ReportsContinuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration in metformin-associated lactic acidosis caused by a suicide attempt: A report of two cases.
Lactic acidosis is the most important and life-threatening side effect of metformin that is widely used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this case report, two cases who were treated in our intensive care unit for lactic acidosis due to high-dose metformin intake for suicidal purposes are presented. The first patient could be successfully treated with continuous venous-venous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) and supportive therapy. The second case required endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation in addition to CVVHDF and supportive therapy due to delay in treatment.
