    The Correlation Between Knee Osteoarthritis and the ABO Blood Group System in A Turkish Population
    (2021) Yaradilmis, Yuksel Ugur; Haberal, Bahtiyar; Demirkale, Ismail; Altay, Murat; 0000-0002-1668-6997; W-9080-2019
    Aim: This study aimed to determine the validity of the relationship between primary knee osteoarthritis and the ABO blood group system in the Turkish population and whether ABO group system could be a risk factor for early-onset knee osteoarthritis or revision surgery. Material and Methods: A retrospective examination of the data of 2752 patients who underwent knee arthroplasty surgery in our clinic between 2011 and 2019 was carried out. A total of 2436 primary knee osteoarthritis (PKO) patients underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery and 206 patients underwent revision knee arthroplasty (RKA). A control group was formed of 22350 individuals aged >40 years from the same geographical region. The frequency of the ABO subgroups (A, B, O, AB) was compared between the primary knee osteoarthritis group and the control group. In addition, ABO subgroups (A, B, O, AB) were determined in the group of patients aged <65 with knee osteoarthritis (early-onset knee osteoarthritis) or revision group. Results: In the PKO group, the female to male ratio was 8:1, and the mean age was 67.2 +/- 8 years. The most significant relationship between blood groups and osteoarthritis was found in Group A (p=0.001). Group AB had a significant but low relationship (p=0.002). However, no statistically significant difference was found between age <65 years and >65 years of age (p=0.642). In comparison with the PKO group and RKA, Group A in the revision group was seen at a statistically significantly higher rate (p=0.043). Discussion: Group A blood group was found to be associated with both primary knee osteoarthritis and revision knee arthroplasty.

    The mid-term effects on quality of life and foot functions following pilon fracture
    (2020) Yaradilmis, Yuksel Ugur; Okkaoglu, Mustafa Caner; Kilic, Alparslan; Haberal, Bahtiyar; Demirkale, Ismail; Altay, Murat; 0000-0002-1668-6997; 32946104; W-9080-2019
    BACKGROUND: Although pilon fractures are uncommon, they are of importance to orthopaedic surgeons because of the difficulty of treatment. Poor outcomes and high complication rates are seen despite various surgical methods. This study aims to examine the changes affecting the quality of life and foot functions in patients applied with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for a pilon fracture. METHODS: In this study, a total of 45 patients treated with ORIF for a pilon fracture in our clinic between January 2010 and December 2016 were evaluated with AOFAS and SF-12 in a total of 10 categories according to demographic data, fracture classification and surgical technique. In addition to functional values, patient records were examined regarding complications, including infection, soft-tissue defect, malalignment, non-union, arthrosis and Sudeck atrophy. In patients with AOFAS <85 and low SF-12 scores, variables were examined and the relationship with complications was evaluated. RESULTS: The mean follow-up period was 3.7 years (range 2 to 7). The AOFAS value was determined to fall to <85 when the Ruedi Allgower classification increased (p=0.010), when AO classification increased (p=0.020), when there was a concomitant lateral malleolar fracture (p=0.028), and when the status was non-anatomic according to the Ovadia Bell criteria (p=0.031). The SF-12 PCS value was observed to decrease when the Ruedi Allgower classification increased ( p=0.018) and when the status was non-anatomic according to the Ovadia Bell criteria (p=0.012). A correlation was determined between the SF-12 PCS and the AOFAS values (p=0.000). CONCLUSION: The reasons for the failure of ORIF in tibia pilon fractures were found to be Ruedi 3 classification, concomitant lateral malleolar fracture, and non-anatomic surgical reduction. Failure in foot functions has a direct effect on quality of life in both the short and mid term.
