    Does the Type of Surgical Technique and the Use of Prophylactic Antibiotics Affect the Clinical Results in Symptomatic Ingrown Toenail Patients?
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2024) Sargin, Serdar; Gulcu, Anil; Aslan, Ahmet
    Ingrown toenails are a common reason for referral to orthopedics and podiatry clinics. Recurrence and infection are common complications in ingrown toenail surgery. This study investigates the effect of an electrocautery matrixectomy on the recurrence and clinical outcomes in the Winograd technique applied in ingrown toenail surgery and whether prophylactic antibiotic use is necessary for these surgeries. One hundred forty-three patients who underwent surgery for ingrown toenails were analyzed retrospectively. Eighty-two patients underwent the Winograd procedure with electrocautery matrixectomy, whereas 61 patients underwent the Winograd procedure. While 78 patients were given prophylactic antibiotics, 65 patients were not. Patient satisfaction was evaluated with a surgical satisfaction questionnaire (SSQ). A visual analog score was used to evaluate the pain. Recurrence was observed in 3 toenails in the Winograd and electrocautery groups, while recurrence was observed in 9 toenails in the Winograd group (P = .018). In both groups, there was no statistically significant difference between the infection rates between patients who took antibiotics and those who did not (P > .05). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of SSQ scores (P > .05). It was observed that the surgery performed had a positive effect on pain, and this effect was statistically highly significant in both groups (P < .05). The outcomes of the present study suggest that the addition of an electrocautery matrixectomy to the Winograd technique in the surgical treatment of symptomatic Ingrown toenails may decrease recurrence rates. Additionally, this study showed that oral antibiotics, when used in addition to Ingrown toenail surgery, do not reduce postoperative morbidity.

    Reproducible and Reliable Method for Syndesmotic Screw Fixation: An MRI-Based Cross-Sectional Image Analysis
    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2022) Sargin, Serdar; Atik, Aziz; Ulusal, Ali Engin; Aslan, Ahmet; Kulunk, Mert Ismail
    Ankle arthrosis may be an unexpected potential result in syndesmotic injuries because of instability and malreduction. For anatomical reduction and stabilization, a reliable and stable reference point is crucial to correctly place syndesmotic screw. The aim of this study was to determine a reliable reference point and to quantify the ideal angle for placement of the screw. In this prospective cohort study, 99 healthy volunteers underwent right ankle magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. On the axial sections, the ideal axis of the syndesmotic screw and other reference points were depicted with 4 lines and 2 angles which were evaluated at the level 2 cm above the tibial plafond. Values were recorded by 2 independent observers to assess for interobserver reliability. The mean value of syndesmotic screw position according to the ground line was 28 degrees +/- 6.4 degrees like Arbeitsgemeinschaft fur Osteosynthesefragen suggestion. Furthermore, it was determined that the syndesmotic screw could be placed more precisely in the position when placed at an angle of 26.2 degrees +/- 1.1 degrees with the axis perpendicular to the line passing through the anterior tibial and Achilles tendons. Ideal syndesmotic screw positioning must be stable enough in case not to be affected by lower extremity alignment deficiencies or foot deformities. So, the anterior tibial and Achilles tendons can be used as reproducible and reliable landmarks for the placement of syndesmotic screws. (C) 2021 by the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons.

    Should We Suture Arthroscopic Portals? Effects on Intra-articular Fluid Retention
    (Georg Thieme Verlag Kg, 2023) Sargin, Serdar; Atik, Aziz; Aslan, Ahmet
    Knee arthroscopy is one of the most common surgical procedures in orthopaedics and especially in sports medicine. Portal problems and effusion after knee arthroscopy have been reported. The fluid retention within the joint in knee arthroscopy can affect clinical outcomes, but there is no consensus on portal management. The studies of portal management in knee arthroscopy have mainly addressed wound healing and cosmetic problems. There is insufficient information in the literature about whether the irrigation fluid used in this effusion contributes to the process. This study investigates whether arthroscopic irrigation fluid is retained in the joint and whether portal-closure management has an effect on effusion. In this randomized, prospective study, 91 patients (46 [50.5%] sutured-portal group and 45 [49.5%] open-portal group) were included. Suprapatellar knee-diameter measurement and the number of times the dressing was changed were used to assess intra-articular fluid collection. The visual analog scale (VAS) score, Oxford knee score, and Knee Society score were used to evaluate knee problems. All portal wounds in both groups healed without any problems. Superficial or deep infection was not observed in either group. There was no statistically significant difference in VAS score, Oxford knee scores, and Knee Society scores between groups. Although there was a decrease in the knee diameter of both groups between the early postoperative period and first postoperative day, a statistically significant difference in knee diameter was found, especially in the open-portal group. There was a significant difference between the groups in terms of the number of dressings used in the first 24hours after surgery. Leaving portals open may be effective in preventing intra-articular fluid retention. We thus advise leaving the arthroscopy portals open with just a simple dressing for selected patients.
