PURPOSE OF THE STUDY In this study, it was aimed to examine the preoperative and postoperative quality of life and psychiatric symptoms of the patients with primary coxarthrosis after total hip arthroplasty. MATERIAL AND METHODS 150 patients undergone total hip arthroplasty were involved in this study. The socio-demographical data form prepared by the researchers was utilized before and after the operation in order to demonstrate disease-related socio-demographical characteristics of the patient. The Quality of Life Scale Short Form (SF-36), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Visual Analog Scale (VSA) were implemented in the preoperative period and at 6th and 12th week after the operation. RESULTS Of the patients involved in study, 28.7% were male and 71.3% were female. Their mean age was 58.34±11.92 year. While statistically significant differences were found between the preoperative and postoperative periods in terms of physical function, physical role limitation, emotional role limitation, energy, social function, pain, and general health subscales of SF-36, no significant differences were found relating mental health subscale. In BAI, BDI, VAS, and HHS comparison, statistically significant differences were found between the preoperative and postoperative periods, except for BAI. CONCLUSIONS In this study, it was determined that primary coxarthrosis affects significantly the quality of the patients' lives in a negative way and can be accompanied by mental symptoms. After total hip arthroplasty, significant improvement was observed in quality of life, depression and pain scores. Key words: total hip prosthesis, quality of life, mental symptoms.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: The aim of this study was to determine the changes in total antioxidant capacity (TAC) during the fracture healing process. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twenty patients with isolated closed femoral fracture, between the ages 18 and 60 years, were included in the study. The control group was formed with healthy volunteers. Venous blood was drawn from the healthy volunteers once, and from the patients five times during 14 days after fracture. TAC was measured in the sera of these samples. RESULTS: In the patient group, the serum TAC was the highest in the first 6 hours, whereas there was a decreasing trend on the 3rd, 7th and 14th days, and an increasing trend on the 5th day. The mean serum TAC in all measurements of the patient group were lower than those in the control group. CONCLUSION: The present study suggests that TAC may be decreased in considerable amounts during the first 2 weeks of fracture healing.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: The aim of this study was to evaluate comparatively the outcomes of pediatric displaced supracondylar fractures of humerus which were treated with either closed reduction and percutaneous pinning (CRPP) or open reduction and percutaneous pinning (ORPP). MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included 100 children with displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus, who were treated with either CRPP (group 1) or ORPP (group 2); the numbers of subjects in the study groups were equal. The treatment outcomes were assessed clinically and radiologically. RESULTS: Ninety-six percent excellent or good cosmetic results were achieved in both groups, and 94% / 90% excellent or good functional results were achieved in groups 1 and 2 (respectively). There was no signifiant difference between Baumann and humero-capitellar angles of intact and operated sides in both groups, but there was an average carrying angle difference of 2,96 degrees in the group 1 and 1,52 degrees in the group 2 and these differences were statistically signifiant. Five cases (10%) from each group had superfiial pin tract infection. Hypertrophic incision scar occurred in 6 (12%) patients performed ORPP. CONCLUSION: Both CRPP and ORPP are successful treatment methods in the management of non-complicated and non-comminuted displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus in pediatric ages and their outcomes are similar. Incision scar and the long duration of operation are the disadvantages of open surgery. For fiing the fracture, placement of two K-wires from the medial and lateral aspects which cross each other is enough to achieve a good stability. In ORPP practices, lateral incision is a simple and reliable approach despite of the dissatisfying scar tissue formation.
