    Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the impact of performing surgeries with necessary precautions and to evaluate demographic characteristics of operated patients during novel coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the infection rates during hospitalization and within 14 days after surgery.

    Effect of rotational deformities after pediatric femoral fracture on clinical outcome
    (2022-03-01) AKGÜLLE, AHMET HAMDİ; KESİMER, MEHMET DENİZ; Igrek S., AKGÜLLE A. H., KESİMER M. D.
    Femoral shaft fractures are the most common pediatric injuries that require hospitalization. Early closed reduction and spica casting are one of the most popular treatment options. One of the significant complications of spica casting is rotational deformities of the fracture. The present study aimed to determine the potential effects of rotational deformities in pediatric patients who underwent early spica casting after a femoral shaft fracture. Pediatric patients who underwent early spica casting following femoral shaft fractures were screened retrospectively. Radiological measurements were made on the patients\" initial postop radiographs who could be measured rotationally according to the defined radiological method. Twenty-three patients with more than 10 degrees of rotation in their measurements were included in the study. Differences in leg length and rotation between both legs were calculated with clinical examination methods for all patients in the study. The gaits of the patients were observed; patient and family complaints were obtained. We found a strong and positive correlation between the rotational measurement made on the X-ray and the clinical measurement (R: 0.634, P: 0.001). For measurements made on X-ray, the mean rotational value was calculated as 27.2 +/- 6.9 degrees. After the patients\" clinical examination, an average of 3.0 +/- 1.7 degrees rotational difference was found between the broken limb and the healthy limb. No patient or family complained of trauma. Early spica casting, according to the age of the patient, is an effective treatment method. There may still be certain degrees of deformity after treatment, but patients well tolerate them even at high degrees. Accordingly, it was concluded that the rotational deformities less than 30 degrees would not cause clinical problems on children under 4 years of age which may require postoperative revisions or the use of various costly imaging techniques and include radiation.

    COVID-19 pandemisinin el cerrahisi üzerine etkisi Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on hand injuries
    (2022-07-01) ÇAVUŞ ÖZKAN, MELEKBER; SARAÇ, ÖMER; KESİMER, MEHMET DENİZ; DURMUŞ KOCAASLAN, FATMA NİHAL; SAÇAK, BÜLENT; AKDENİZ DOĞAN, ZEYNEP DENİZ; ÇAVUŞ ÖZKAN M., Saraç Ö., KESİMER M. D., AKDENİZ DOĞAN Z. D., DURMUŞ KOCAASLAN F. N., SAÇAK B.
    BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to evaluate etiologies of hand injuries in emergency department (ED), to compare the etiologies of hand injuries at the time of this study with the previous year, to assess whether novel coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic affected the treatment decisions, and to investigate the COVID-19 infection rate within the first 14 days after admission. METHODS: A total of 229 patients admitted to ED with hand injury between March 15 and April 30, 2020, were included in the study. The control group consisted of 439 ED admissions with hand injury in the previous year (March 15-April 30, 2019). Data including age, sex, cause of trauma, treatment, and COVID-19 infection status within 14 days after ED admission were compared between groups. RESULTS: The mean age was 32.30±15.63 years in the study group and 30.85±18.54 years in the control group. The number of patients consulted to the surgery department decreased by 52.6% and the number of patients admitted to ED with hand injuries de-creased by 47.6% during the pandemic, compared to the previous year (p=0.0001). The incidence of home accidents increased and the glass cuts and penetrating/perforating injuries were the most common causes during the pandemic most of which occurred at home. CONCLUSION: The COVID-19 pandemic-mandated social restrictions led to a significant decrease in the number of ED admissions with hand injuries and the type of injuries. The incidence of home accidents increased with more time spent indoors. This study may be a useful guide for ED admissions of hand injury cases and management planning in the current and future pandemics.
