Cementless rectangular stems yield satisfactory results in osteoporotic bones.
The present study aims to investigate the effects sof osteoporosis on prosthesis survival by comparing the femoral stem survival rates of patients with poor and relatively good bone quality. ⋯ Our study supports the conclusion that cementless hip arthroplasty can be applied even in advanced elderly and osteoporotic patients without additional intraoperative or postoperative risks.

Closed reduction percutaneous pinning versus open reduction internal fixation in the treatment of intraarticular distal radius fractures: Mean four-year results.
This study was performed to compare the results of closed reduction percutaneous pinning (CRPP) versus open reduction internal fixation with a volar locking plate (ORIF) in the treatment of intraarticular distal radius fractures (IDRF) average four-year follow-up. ⋯ ORIF with a volar locking plate has better functional and radiological results than CRPP in IDRF patients' average four-year follow-up.

Case ReportsCause of an acute abdomen never seen: Intraabdominal perforation of an umbilical pilonidal sinus abscess.
Pilonidal sinus is a well-known disease of the sacrococcygeal region, which is caused by hair shafts penetrating the epidermis. The granulomatous reaction is the characteristic of this chronic inflammatory disease. Umbilical pilonidal sinus is an acquired disease that may appear in many guises and mimic several umbilical conditions. ⋯ Treatment is based on clinical experience rather than on evidence-based medicine. The umbilical pilonidal sinus, which is not treated medically or surgically, may cause regional or generalized infections. We suggest that our case which has never had symptoms before and has caused acute abdomen, will be considered in the diagnosis of acute abdomen.

Testicular torsion in the medicolegal perspective: Why is the diagnosis missing?
By examining patients with testicular torsion (TT) that caused problems in medicolegal terms, the present study aims to define markers causing medical neglect or malpractice in similar conditions and perform a retrospective examination to characterize the medical aspects of patients with TT. ⋯ Physicians should perform the required evaluations for a suitable diagnosis and treatment by putting aside their medicolegal concerns and prevent the problems by giving priority to patient health. For the correct diagnosis and proper management of TT, it is necessary to increase the information levels of physicians, and patients should be explored urgently in the event of any clinical suspicion.
