    (2001) Kesemenli C.C.; Subaşi M.; Kirkgöz T.; Arslan H.; Necmioglu S.
    The fracture of the biggest sesamoid bone patella is encountered at a rate of 1% of all skeletal injuries. Partial patellectomy is advised in the treatment of comminuted fractures of patella. In this retrospective study, we evaluated 18 of 25 patients who had partial patellectomy in our clinic between 1986-1997. Five patients were female (%27.8) and 13 were male (%72.2). The mechanisms of injuries were as follows: 11 (%61) motor vehicle accidents; 4 (%22) falls from flat-roofed house; 2 (%11) gunshot; and 1 (%5) subsidence. The mean age of the patients was 34.3 (range, 13-65). Ten left (%55) and eight right (%45) partial patellectomy were performed. Ten (%55) patients had also additional pathologies. The median follow-up time was 5.2 years (range, 2-11 years). Patients were very well in the last follow-up. According to Cincinnati Knee Score, which was improved by Noyes, 5 patients (%30) had excellent, 8 (%42) good 3(%17) moderate and 2 (%11) bad results. In conclusion, in the following years, enlargement in patellar articular surface and ossification, which is developed compensationally in the extensor mechanism may be detected and misevaluated as osteoarthrosis. Hence, we determined that they had not restricted knee joint functions in our cases.

    Treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients with Leinbach type endoprostheses
    (2001) Kesemenli C.; Subaşi M.; Arslan H.; Kirkgöz T.; Necmioglu S.
    Intertrochanteric fractures are seen in elderly ages and occur mostly by minor trauma. Mortality and morbidity rates are high and internal fixation and external methods are used for the treatment. Twenty-seven patients with intertrochanteric fractures who were at the mean age of 78 ranging between 71-95 and were treated by Leinbach type endoprosthesis during 1995-1999 were evaluated. Fourteen (%51) patients were female and 13 (%49) were male. The patients underwent operation as early as they were convenient. If they could, they were advised to walk at the second or third day of the operation. Two (%7) patients died at the end of the operation and 1 (%3.7) patient died during the first week after the operation. The patients were followed up mean 14(5-21) months and evaluated according to the criteria of American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons which displayed good results in %80 of patients. In elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures due to pathologies and related complications and also complications due to immobilization are seen frequently. Treatment with endoprosthesis is thought to be helpful in decreasing these complications and early mobilization of the patients.
