Travmatik izole dirsek çıkıkları erken çocukluk döneminde oldukça nadir görülür. Ancak çocukluk çağında posteriyor dirsek çıkıkları daha sıktır ve genellikle dirsek çevresi kırıkları ile birlikte görülür. Biz bu çalışmada, 8 yaşındaki bir erkek çocuğunda evde dirsek üzerine düşme sonrasında gelişen ve nadir görülen izole posteriyor dirsek çıkığı olgusunu inceledik. Genel anestezi altında kapalı redüksiyon ve uzun kol ateli uygulanan çocuk hasta için iki haftalık immobilizasyon önerildi. Klinik takipleri sonunda hastanın dirsek hareketlerini tam ve ağrısız olarak yapabildiği gözlendi. Karşılaştırmalı dirsek grafileri çekilmesi tanısal açıdan önemlidir..
Aim:According to the ethnic demographical backgrounds, gracilis(G), and semitendinosus(ST) tendon antropometric properties may vary among the individuals of Turkish and active sporter patient populations. In this study, aimed was to define the G and ST tendon proportional anatomical corellations intraoperatively prior to graft harvesting that are uniquely specific to the Turkish ethnicity.Materials-Methods:The study was begun with 50 active sporting patients who were undergone arthroscopic graft anterior cruciate ligament hamstring tendon reconstruction(aACLHTR) in 2013-2014 at our institution. 15 patients were excluded due to premature graft ruptures, and not meeting the minimum of 4hrs/w active sporting criteria. This retrospective cohort was conducted with a total of 35 knees. Inclusion criteria were; Turkish ethnicity, having been undergone aACLHTR between 2013-2014, having been at an age of 16-50 years, having eligible intraoperative antropometric records, having consistent postoperative follow-ups, having been diagnosed to have complete ACL tear, having no ipsilateral/contralateral, congenital/acquired limb deformities or trauma, surgery or lymphedema history. Exclusion criteria were unwillingness to give written consent, having been a premature graft rupture during harvesting, having insufficient data recordings to meet the eligibility criteria. All the surgeries were performed by one senior surgeon who was blind to the study. All the demographical data, and measurements were recorded by a research assistant who was blind to the study. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to detect linear relationship between numerical variables. Beta coefficients were estimated by univariate linear regression analysis. All analysis were performed by using SPSS for windows version 22.0 considering the P<0.05 as statistically significant.Results:Mean age 29.9±8.3, Female/Male ratio %8.6/91.4, Right/Left ratio %68.6/31.4, Mean BMI 27.2±4.5, Mean limb length 87.8±6.4 Mean ST length 26.8±2.1, Mean G length 24.06±2.2, Mean ST thickness 6mm±0.9, Mean G thickness 4.5±0.8. ST-G thickness, and ST-G length correlations were r=0.754, p=0.001, r=0.614, p=0.001 respectively. Univariate linear regression analysis revealed statistically significant relationships; 56.8% of variation in G thickness was explained by ST. 1 mm increase in ST thickness resulted in 0.68 mm increase in G thickness, and 37.7% of variation in G length was explained by ST. 1 mm increase in ST length resulted in 0.68 mm increase in G length.Conclusions:With the ST-G index, surgeons would be intraoperatively able to template aACLHTR with a more durable, and adequate planning of hamstring graft construct combination unique to sporters’ demographic specifics, and to sports’ biomechanical specifics. Thus, the possiblity of antropometrically inadequate graft combinations would be precautioned.Scatter plot of relationship between Gracilis and Semitendinosus tendon length and thickness
