Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether use of custom-fabricated insoles improves the gait pattern in patients with displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures. Methods: Fourteen patients (7 female, 7 male; mean age: 39±12 years) and 11 healthy individuals (mean age: 42±13 years) were included in the study. Treatment protocol included conservative treatment involving immobilization, with or without closed reduction, active exercises, wear of a customfabricated insole and prospective follow-up. All patients were evaluated by physical examination, axial and lateral radiographs, computerized tomography, and computerized gait analysis. Results: The use of custom-made insoles significantly improved step and stride lengths and the peak values of fore-aft component in the involved foot and tended to increase plantarflexor moment and total ankle power. The majority of patients (71%) continued to have substantial mechanical abnormalities by computerized gait analysis. Plantar flexion moment, total ankle power, vertical component of ground reaction forces (GRFs), and total sagittal plane excursion were significantly decreased in the involved foot when compared to the uninvolved foot. Plantar flexion moment, total ankle power, vertical, fore-aft and mediolateral componentsof GRFs were significantly decreased in the involved foot when compared to the healthy control group. Conclusion: Use of a custom-made insole improves advancement of limb and weight-bearing in patients with a displaced intra-articular calcaneal fracture. Nevertheless, mechanical abnormalities persist in the affected limb, which does not appear to recover a gait pattern similar to that of normal walking.

Functional evaluation of intraarticular severely comminuted fractures of the calcaneus with gait analysis BOZKURT, Murat; Kentel, B. Behzat; Yavuzer, Gunes; Öçgüder, Ali; Heycan, Cengiz; Tönük, Ergin (Elsevier BV, 2004-11-01) Twenty-one patients (23 feet) treated nonsurgically for severely comminuted intraarticular fractures of the calcaneus were evaluated prospectively with a clinical scoring scale and computerized gait analysis. All patients had Sanders type III and type IV fractures. The treatment protocol consisted of no closed reduction, immobilization in removable splint, physiotherapy after edema subsided, and weightbearing after 8 weeks. All patients had a minimum follow-up of 2 years (mean, 38 months). Clinical results ...
Biomechanical Analysis of the Effect of Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Mandibular Distraction Osteogenesis Aykan, Andac; Ozturk, Serdar; Sahin, Ismail; Gürses, Senih; Ural, Ali Ugur; Oren, Nisa Cem; Isik, Selcuk (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2013-03-01) Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of bone marrow-derived stem cells on consolidation period by using a new biomechanical testing method on sheep mandible model.
Dynamic function of the fibula. Gait analysis evaluation of three different parts of the shank after fibulectomy: proximal, middle and distal BOZKURT, MURAT; Yavuzer, G; Tönük, Ergin; KENTEL, BEHZAT BAHADIR (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-12-01) The purpose of this case study was to investigate the dynamic features of fibular movement to gait pattern by analyzing the gait of individuals with three different parts of the fibula resected. Gait analyses revealed that proximal fibula resection impaired knee stability, whereas distal fibula resection disturbed ankle kinematics significantly. Except a mild secondary quadriceps weakness, middle fibula resection did not cause a significant biomechanical disturbance on gait.
Effects of Local Low-Dose Alendronate Injections Into the Distraction Gap on New Bone Formation and Distraction Rate on Distraction Osteogenesis Alp, Yunus Emre; Taskaldiran, Alper; Onder, Mustafa Ercument; KARAHAN, SİYAMİ; KOÇYİĞİT, İSMAİL DORUK; ATIL, FETHİ; TEKİN, UMUT (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2017-11-01) Bisphosphonates that constrain bone resorption have a direct effect on osteoclast function. In this experimental study, the effects of low-dose local alendronate injections on the distraction gap (DG) in rabbit mandible at 2 different rates were evaluated.
Analysis of factors affecting baseline SF-36 Mental Component Summary in Adult Spinal Deformity and its impact on surgical outcomes Mmopelwa, Tiro; Ayhan, Selim; Yuksel, Selcen; Nabiyev, Vugar; Niyazi, Asli; Pellise, Ferran; Alanay, Ahmet; Sanchez Perez Grueso, Francisco Javier; Kleinstuck, Frank; Obeid, Ibrahim; Acaroglu, Emre (AVES Publishing Co., 2018-5) Objectives: To identify the factors that affect SF-36 mental component summary (MCS) in patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD) at the time of presentation, and to analyse the effect of SF-36 MCS on clinical outcomes in surgically treated patients. Methods: Prospectively collected data from a multicentric ASD database was analysed for baseline parameters. Then, the same database for surgically treated patients with a minimum of 1-year follow-up was analysed to see the effect of baseline SF-36 MCS on t...
