RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Triple pelvic osteotomy (TPO) is indicated when the anatomic and functional realignment of the hip joint is needed. Although the traditional approach for TPO involves a separate incision for ischial cut, there has been a trend for single-incision TPO in recent years. This study aims to compare the clinical and radiologic results of 2 different approaches. METHODS: Forty-two hips of 39 patients treated using TPO with a minimum of 24 months of follow-up were included in our cohort. Demographics, perioperative, and radiologic parameters were evaluated. Harris Hip Score and International Hip Outcome Tool were used for clinical evaluation. RESULTS: A single anterolateral incision approach was used in 18 hips (17 patients), whereas a 3-incision approach was used in 24 hips (22 patients). The mean follow-up was 4.7 years in the 3-incision group and 3.8 years in the single-incision group ( P =0.43), with mean surgery age at 8.7 years (range, 5.4 to 12) for single-incision and 9.7 years (range, 7.7 to 11.7) for 3e-incision ( P =0.22). There were no significant differences observed between the 2 groups concerning radiographic measurements, complications, and functional scores. The mean surgical time was 118.6 minutes in the single-incision group and 97.9 minutes in 3-incision group ( P =0.036). Mean intraoperative blood loss was 181.7 ml in the single-incision group and 243.4 ml in 3-incision group ( P =0.028). Three-incision group demonstrated significantly higher intraoperative blood loss, leading to lower hemoglobin values ( P =0.042). CONCLUSION: The single-incision TPO demonstrated similar outcomes compared with the traditional 3-incision approach in terms of radiologic correction and functional improvement. The single-incision technique exhibited advantages such as reduced intraoperative blood loss and potential benefit of decreased pain due to fewer scars. However, it required a longer surgical time compared with the 3-incision approach. Surgeons should consider patient-specific factors and their expertise when selecting the most appropriate approach for each case. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III-retrospective comparative series.

Background/aim: Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are frequently associated with distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the sigmoid notch and ulna styloid fracture types on DRUJ subluxation following closed reduction and casting of DRFs via calculating radioulnar ratio (RUR) on postreduction computed tomography (CT) images. Materials and methods: In our study, postreduction CT images of 202 patients with distal radius fractures were evaluated retrospectively. CT images were evaluated for RUR, sigmoid notch fracture, and ulna styloid types. Sigmoid notch fractures were classified as nondisplaced in the sigmoid notch fractures (NDS) and displaced sigmoid notch (DS) fractures; ulna styloid fractures were grouped as the proximal half ulna styloid (PHUS) and distal half ulna styloid (DHUS) fractures. Results: The mean age of Rozental type 3b (62.8 years) was significantly higher among others. The mean RUR value was significantly higher in Rozental type 3a in compared to type 1a and type 2 fractures. PHUS fractures were more common with DS fractures than DHUS fractures. Conclusion: DS fractures and higher patient age are associated with DRUJ subluxation on postreduction CT images following DRFs. DS fractures are seen more commonly with PHUS fractures than DHUS. Patients with PHUS should be carefully assessed for sigmoid notch fractures and DRUJ congruency. These findings could be helpful for preoperative decision making in the treatment of DRFs.

BACKGROUND: Current treatment options for patellofemoral (PF) instability have required functional scoring systems. The Banff Patellar Instability Instrument (BPII) 2.0 and Norwich Patellar Instability (NPI) scores were explicitly created to meet the need to evaluate PF instability. Different patient-reported outcome measurements (PROMs) are used to evaluate anterior knee problems. OBJECTIVES: To test the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the BPII 2.0 and NPI score. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Fifty-one patients that operated for PF instability, older than eighteen years old, were included in this study. Turkish translation of the BPII 2.0 and NPI scores was undertaken through translation into Turkish by an independent translator. Two tests were repeated seven days apart. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used for test-retest reliability. Internal consistency was analyzed using Cronbach's alpha. Validity was assessed by correlating the Kujala and Lysholm knee scores. RESULTS: Fifty-one patients (34 females/17 males), the average age was 25 ± 7, were included in this study. Cronbach's alpha value was 0.829 for BPII 2.0 and 0.843 for NPI for the first time answered by patients. ICC values applied to evaluate test-retest reliability were 0.904 (p < 0.05) for BPII 2.0 and 0.915 (p < 0.05) for NPI. There was a moderate correlation between the BPII 2.0 Turkish version and the Kujala score. There was a very high correlation between the Turkish version of the BPII 2.0 and Lysholm knee scores. An excellent negative correlation was found between Norwich and Kujala scores (r = -0.819, p < 0.05). The correlation coefficient between Norwich and Lysholm scores was -0.662, indicating a high negative correlation (p < 0.05). The correlation coefficients between the Turkish version of BPII 2.0 and NPI were -0.533 (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The Turkish version of the BPII 2.0 and NPI score is a reliable and valid instrument for Turkish-speaking patients with patellofemoral instability.
