Öğe Central defect type partial ACL injury model on goat knees: The effect of infrapatellar fat pad excision(BioMed Central Ltd., 2015) Karakilic B.; Taskiran E.; Doganavsargil B.; Uzun B.; Celik S.; Kaya Bicer E.Background: The mid-substance central defect injury has been used to investigate the primary healing capacity of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in a goat model. The sagittal plane stability on this model has not been confirmed, and possible effects of fat pad excision on healing have not been evaluated. We hypothesize that excising the fat pad tissue results in poorer ligament healing as assessed histologically and decreased tensile strength of the healing ligament. We further hypothesize that the creation of a central defect does not affect sagittal plane knee stability. Methods: A mid-substance central defect was created with a 4-mm arthroscopic punch in the ACLs of right knees of all the subjects through a medial mini-arthrotomy. Goats were assigned to groups based on whether the fat pad was preserved (group 1, n = 5) or excised completely (group 2, n = 5). The left knees served as controls in each goat. Histopathology of the defect area along with measurement of type I collagen in one goat from each group were performed at 10th week postoperatively. The remaining knees were evaluated biomechanically at the 12th week, by measuring anterior tibial translation (ATT) of the knee joints at 90° of flexion and testing tensile properties (ultimate tensile load (UTL), ultimate elongation (UE), stiffness (S), failure mode (FM)) of the femur-ACL-tibia complex. Results and discussion: Histopathology analysis revealed that the central defect area was fully filled macroscopically and microscopically. However, myxoid degeneration and fibrosis were observed in group 2 and increased collagen type I content was noted in group 2. There were no significant differences within and between groups in terms of ATT values (p = 0.715 and p = 0.149, respectively). There were no significance between or within groups in terms of ultimate tensile load and ultimate elongation; however, group 2 demonstrated greater stiffness than group 1 that was correlated with the fibrotic changes detected microscopically (p = 0.043). Conclusions: The central defect type injury model was confirmed to be biomechanically stable in a goat model. Resection of the fat pad was noted to negatively affect defect healing and increase ligament stiffness in the central defect injury model. © 2015 Karakilic et al.Öğe Evaluation of the risk factors for acute occupational hand injuries(2011) Kaya Bicer E.; Kucuk L.; Kececi B.; Murat Ozturk A.; Cetinkaya S.; Ozdemir O.; Coskunol E.Objectives: To evaluate the effect of demographic and occupational factors on the severity of the acute occupational hand injuries. Methods: Patients with acute hand injuries presenting to the emergency department of the Ege university hospital between 01.08.2008 and 27.02.2009 were included. A questionnaire investigating demographic and occupational factors of the patients and their injuries was filled out for each patient. Modified Hand Injury Severity Score (MHISS) was used to assess the severity of the injury. Results: A total of 144 subjects were included. Forty-three patients had occupational hand injuries. Age at injury, occupation, and main earning status did not alter the MHISS score significantly. Also, the mechanism of injury, occupational experience, timing of the injury, glove use, safety training did not have a significant effect on the injury severity. The injury pattern was found to have a statistically significant effect on the MHISS score. Conclusion: The potentially modifiable factors such as the working conditions, safety training and use of gloves are important in the etiology of occupational acute hand injury. Most probably, in this study the size of the sample was not large enough to be able to demonstrate any relation between these and the injury severity. However, attempts to modify these factors by various strategies may reduce the incidence of acute hand injury at work. Precautions and widespread educational programs can prevent occupational acute hand injury. © 2011.Öğe The relationship between the level of lesion and progression in Reimer’s index of spina bifida patients(Springer Verlag, 2017) Gunay H.; Sozbilen M.C.; Altınisik M.; Kacmaz I.E.; Kaya Bicer E.Aim: We aimed to evaluate the influence of the lesion level and acetabular displasia on the progression of hip dislocation in patients with spina bifida. Material and method: Two hundred twelve hips of 106 cases with spina bifida were evaluated both clinically and radiologically. Their vertebral level of lesions, clinical examinations, radiological migration index, and acetabulum terms were noted and were evaluated in terms of their relations with the level of lesion-migration and dysplasia. Data analysis method was evaluated using SPSS 22.0 program. Results: Deficiency of acetabulum was present in 33 % of the cases with spina bifida. Dysplastic floor was found to be as equally important as the level of lesion in the progression of hip dislocation (p = 0.002). Progression and dislocation incidences were observed to be higher in the thoracic level (p = 0.008). Reimer’s progression index was seen to be a reliable way of assesment. Conclusion: The development of hip dislocation and progression are not solely connected with muscle imbalance. Encountered more frequently in these cases, acetabular dysplasia is a factor that is as important as the level of lesion in the formation of hip dislocation and progression. Hip dislocation is associated with more progression in the higher level lesions. Reimer’s index is a reliable assessment criteria. © 2016, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.Öğe Sagittal flexion angle of the femoral component in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty: Is it same for both medial and lateral UKAs?(2010) Kaya Bicer E.; Servien E.; Lustig S.; Demey G.; Ait Si Selmi T.; Neyret P.The flexion of the femoral component in the sagittal plane in unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) was analyzed radiographically in this study. Thirty medial and 30 lateral UKAs were included. The sagittal flexion angles were measured both relative to the posterior femoral cortex and midline sagittal distal femoral axis. Both of the measurement methods revealed that the femoral components were inserted in a significantly more flexed fashion in the medial UKA group. Neither preoperative nor postoperative tibial slope did have any significant effect on the sagittal flexion angle. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study demonstrating an angular difference in the sagittal flexion of the femoral components between medial and lateral UKAs. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
