    Persistent infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a patient with Behcet's disease after rotator cuff repair surgery: A case report
    (2021) Haberal, Bahtiyar; Simsek, Duygu Turkbey; Kuru, Ilhami; 0000-0002-1668-6997; 34842115; W-9080-2019
    Tuberculosis (TB) infection is a common health problem in low socioeconomic populations in developing countries. Osteoarticular TB is a disease that rarely occurs outside the vertebral column and is often diagnosed late or misdiagnosed, particularly in non-weight bearing joints. A 51-year-old female patient with Behcet's disease presented with shoulder TB following rotator cuff repair surgery, leading to joint resection as a result of recurrent infections with no reproduction in culture samples due to delayed diagnosis. Surgical excision was proposed for the treatment of draining a mass with a sinus tract opening into the joint on the anterior aspect of the right shoulder. A diagnosis was able to be reached after 13 operations, based on the presence of TB bacilli in the pathological examination of the samples. In conclusion, TB should be considered in the absence of reproduction in culture samples taken during persistent post-surgical infections.

    Is simple decompression enough for the treatment of idiopathic cubital tunnel syndrome: A prosoective comparative study analyzing the outcomes of simple decompression versus partial medial epicondylectomy

    Objectives: This study aims to compare the clinical and functional outcomes of simple in-situ decompression and partial medial epicondylectomy for the treatment of idiopathic cubital tunnel syndrome (CuTS). Patients and methods: Between March 2014 and December 2016, 71 patients (31 males. 40 females: mean age 46.7 years: range. 38 to 62 years) with CuTS scheduled to undergo simple in-situ decompression (group 1) or partial medial epicondylectomy (group 2) were prospectively reviewed. All patients were analyzed with clinical examination (Tinel sign. Froment's and Wartenberg's signs, elbow flexion test, subluxation), and McGowan scores before and after surgery. Final outcomes were reviewed with Wilson and Krout grading system. Results: There was no significant difference between the study groups in regard to Wilson and Krout grading and McGowan scores postoperatively. Group 1 had significantly better grip and key pinch strength values compared to group 2 at the final follow-up control. Conclusion: In-situ decompression and partial medial epicondylectomy represent efficient and safe methods for the treatment of idiopathic CuTS. When their efficiency is compared. in-situ decompression had better grip and key pinch strength values and more excellent outcomes compared to partial medial epicondylectomy.
