Mahmut Aydin M.D., et al. reported a research article named «A comparative analysis of 3D bioprinted gelatin-hyaluronic acid-alginate scaffold and microfracture for the management of osteochondral defects in the rabbit knee joint?» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1626 and aimed to compare the radiological, biomechanical, and histopathological results of microfracture treatment and osteochondral damage repair treatment with a new scaffold product produced by the three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting method containing gelatin-hyaluronic acid-alginate in rabbits with osteochondral damage. This research article concluded that 3D bioprinted scaffolds exhibited comparable radiological, biomechanical, and histological properties to the conventional microfracture technique for osteochondral defect treatment.

Tolga Tolunay M.D., et al. reported an original article named «Does cranial bone ossification differ in children with developmental dysplasia of the hip?» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1479 and aimed to compare cranial bone ossification between patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) and healthy individuals..This original article concluded that no significant difference between the fontanel ossifications of children with and without DDH; however, we found that the ossification of the skull bones of children with DDH was different compared to healthy children.

Fatih İlker Can, M.D. and Burak Şener, M.D. reported an original article named «Cross-leg flaps: A nonmicrosurgical alternative treatment method in complex lower extremity trauma reconstruction» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1562 and aimed to present our experiences with cross-leg flap surgery, which demonstrates successful outcomes in lower limb soft tissue defects without the necessity of microsurgical intervention.This original article concluded that cross-leg flap method is an effective and respectable option for extremity salvage as a good alternative to free flaps for the management of traumatic complex lower limb defects. This method is simple, provides abundant blood supply to the wound, and does not require microsurgical experience or a good working recipient artery.

Ali Perçin, M.D., et al. reported an original article named «Effects of hexagonal boron nitride on mechanical properties of bone cement (Polymethylmethacrylate)» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1513 and aimed to investigate the effects of adding hexagonal boron nitride at four different concentrations to polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement, which is commonly used in orthopedic surgeries, on the mechanical properties and microarchitecture of the bone cement.This original article concluded that adding hexagonal boron nitride (HBN) to bone cement at a low concentration (0.5 g / 40 g PPMA) significantly increases the mechanical strength in terms of MPa (compression forces) without adversely affecting porosity.

Serkan Davut, M.D. and Yunus Doğramacı, M.D. reported an original article named «Evaluation of the relationship between the anatomical characteristics of the vastus medialis obliquus muscle and the patella chondral lesion occurrence» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.771 and aimed to investigate the relationship between the vastus medialis obliquus (VMO) muscle distal insertion features and patellar chondral lesion presence.This original article concluded that the formation and localization of the patellar chondral lesions are affected by the insertion width type of the VMO muscle into the patella. Group 2-type insertion is associated with a lower lesion frequency rate than Groups 1 and 3.

Fatih Günaydın, M.D., et al. reported an original article named «A new and simple method for patellar height measurement: Fibula-condyle-patella angle» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1553 and aimed to evaluate the inter-observer reliability of fibula-condyle-patella angle measurements and to compare it with other measurement techniques.This original article concluded that the fibula-condyle-patella angle is a reliable technique with a good inter-observer reliability for measuring patellar height.

M. Zeki Gültekin, M.D., et al. reported an original article named «The role of the psychological attributes of parents and children, and fracture history in upper extremity fractures in school-age and adolescents: A case-control study» 10.52312/jdrs.2023.1486.

13/07/2025

Hamza Özer, M.D., et al. reported an original article named «Gerdy’s tubercle as a novel anatomical landmark for the proximal tibial cut in total knee arthroplasty» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1531 and aimed to explore the use of Gerdy’s tubercle (GT) as an innovative and dependable anatomical landmark for the proximal tibial cut in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in cases with extensive knee degeneration.This original article concluded that proper alignment in TKA is crucial for success, but identifying an extra-articular landmark for horizontal tibial resection remains challenging, particularly in severely arthritic knees. This study introduces GT as a novel anatomical landmark for TKA, offering a more reliable reference for achieving desired joint levels in knees with significant degenerative changes.

Christopher Lim, M.D., et al. reported an original article named « Use of thioglycolate broth as a pre-analytic transport medium in the diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1364 and aimed to investigate whether adding tissue samples directly into thioglycolate (TG) broth yielded a greater number of anaerobic organisms than freshly sampled tissue in suspected hip and knee prosthetic joint infections (PJIs). This original article concluded that in hip and knee arthroplasty, there is no benefit in substituting or adding TG broth as a culture medium to better identify both general bacterial species and C. acnes infections specifically. However, the use of TG may be useful in confirming a true positive result for infection.

Yun Yang, M.D., et al. reported an original article named «Hidden blood loss in unilateral open-door cervical laminoplasty for multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1439 and aimed to evaluate the hidden blood loss (HBL) and its possible risk factors after unilateral open-door cervical laminoplasty (UOCL) in patients with multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy (MCSM). This original article concluded that surgical time is an independent risk factor for HBL. Therefore, HBL should not be overlooked in patients with MCSM undergoing UOCL, particularly in the patients with expected long surgical time.

Li Wang, M.D., et al. reported an original article named «Factors influencing shoulder stiffness after open reduction and internal fixation of proximal humeral fractures» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1529 and aimed to investigate the factors associated with shoulder stiffness following open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of proximal humeral fractures. This original article concluded that high-energy injury, time from injury to surgery longer than one week, and BMI >24.0 kg/m2 were identified as independent risk factors for shoulder stiffness after proximal humeral fracture surgery, which should be treated with caution in clinical treatment.

Xin Fu, M.D., et al. reported an original article named «Comparison between intramedullary nail and conventional plate for displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures: A meta-analysis» 10.52312/jdrs.2024.1542 and aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of the intramedullary nail and conventional plate for the treatment of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures from clinical comparative trials.This original article concluded that the intramedullary nail showed a shorter duration of operation, reduced length of hospital stay, and fewer postoperative total complications and wound-healing complications in treating displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures.
