    Complete Ossification of the Superior Transverse Scapular Ligament in an Turkish Male Adult
    (Soc Chilena Anatomia, 2013) Buyukmumcu, M.; Seker, M.; Ozbek, O.; Akin, D.; Koc, O.; Aydin, A. D.; Salbacak, A.
    Scapula has three margins and angles and located posterolateral of thorax. One of the anatomical structures of scapula is suprascapular notch located medial to coracoid process base. Suprascapular notch can be seen in different shapes and depths. Suprascapular notch is surrounded by transverse scapular ligament which is a short and strong ligament. Suprascapular notch creates an osteofibrosis passage with this structure within suprascapular nerve passes. It has been reported that this osteofibrosis structure can intirely or partially ossify. All lesions of nerves occured in course as result of exposure to compression, tension and bending are called entrapment neuropathy. Like other peripheral nerves, suprascapular nerve can be exposed to compression while passing suprascapular notch. As a result of this compression suprascapular entrapment neuropathy may occur. There are direct trauma, repetitive microtrauma, neurit, progressive compressive lesions in suprascapular entrapment neuropathies etiology. A suprascapular notch taken foramen shape can be a predisposing factor to entrapment neuropathy. In the retrospective screening from Necmettin Erbakan University, Meram Medical Faculty, Department of Radiology archive, a male patient at age 68 with suprascapular notch variation has been detected. This patient's right suprascapular notch had became foramen by an osseous bridge. Diameters of foramen has been measured as 5.27 mm transverse 6.48 mm vertical. We believe having detailed knowledge of suprascapular notch is significant as a possible course of back and shoulder pain is entrapment of suprascapular nerve in suprascapular notch causing nerve paralyses, and it will give a right direction to clinicians in surgical practices.

    Evaluation of Normal Tibial Tubercle to Trochlear Groove Distance in Adult Turkish Population
    (Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2018) Ortug, A.; Ormeci, T.; Yuzbasioglu, N.; Albay, S.; Seker, M.
    Purpose: Many studies have confirmed the significance of tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove (TTTG) distance measurement for the preoperative assessment of tibial tubercle osteotomy and refixation of the patients that need surgery. TTTG distance is being used as threshold value for surgery decision. The purpose is to determine the TTTG values for the adult Turkish population and compare this with the values of other studies and establish a possible index. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 200 patients (97 female, 103 male) aged between 18 and 65 years, retrospectively, who had magnetic resonance imaging at Istanbul Medipol Mega University Hospital Radiology Department. Individuals with no knee surgical history and deformation included to research group, any deformities related with knee were excluded. The scans were analyzed in Picture Archiving Communication System program and compared with other populations. Significance was evaluated with independent Student's t-test. Results: The mean TTTG distance was found 10.07 +/- 1.60 mm in males, 9.96 +/- 1.41 mm in females, and 10.02 +/- 1.51 mm for total cases. There was no statistically significant difference between sex (P > 0.05). However, overall TTTG distance of right and left knees found significantly different (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Obtained results are similar with the results of Caucasian population but different than Asian. It is believed that these results will be significant in evaluation of patellofemoral disorders and helpful in treatment.
