Prepared by Oguzhan BULUT SUMMARY Femoral shaft fractures are among the most prevalent pediatric orthopedic injuries and stand as the primary cause of hospital admission for orthopedic trauma in children. While treatment remains a subject of debate, there is a modern transition from traditional non-operative methods toward surgical stabilization due to advancements in fixation techniques…
Prepared by Dr. Oguzhan BULUT This article provides a clinical overview of Non-Accidental Trauma (NAT), commonly referred to as orthopedic child abuse. Recognizing these patterns is critical for healthcare providers, as orthopedic injuries are the second most common presentation of child abuse after skin lesions. Child abuse is the second most common cause of death among…
Prepared by Dr. Kayahan KARAYTUG Key Points Overview Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a highly successful and cost-effective procedure that reliably improves pain, function, and quality of life in patients with debilitating hip pathology. The most common indication is hip osteoarthritis, followed by osteonecrosis, congenital/developmental disorders, inflammatory arthropathies, and post-traumatic degeneration. Anatomy and Biomechanics The…

Prepared by Dr. Kayahan KARAYTUG 1) Overview Robotic-assisted total hip arthroplasty (R-THA) uses computer planning and robotic guidance (most commonly robotic-arm + haptic boundary control) to improve the accuracy and reproducibility of component placement and restoration of hip biomechanics. Goal: optimize cup position, leg length, offset, and combined anteversion, while reducing variability compared with manual…
Prepared by Dr.Murat BIRINCI SUMMARY High ankle sprains involve injury to the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis and typically result from external rotation forces.They are less common than low ankle sprains but are associated with longer recovery times and higher morbidity.Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion and often stress radiographs or advanced imaging.Treatment depends on stability,…
Prepared by Dr. Mehmet Yagiz YENIGUN Pediatric tibial eminence (spine) fractures and tibial tubercle fractures are two distinct injury patterns in growing knees. They differ in mechanism, age groups, treatment approach, and complications. Understanding classification, imaging, surgical indications, and outcomes is crucial for optimal care. Epidemiology & Mechanism Feature Tibial Eminence Fractures Tibial Tubercle Fractures…
