Patients older than 16 years and those with additional maxillofacial fractures were excluded. All patients were treated by closed reduction and external fixation. The patients and parents were asked about their satisfaction in a survey 6 months' postoperatively. They were divided into groups according to the time of intervention, and the results. Twenty-four patients, age range 4-16 years, with isolated nasal fractures were included in the study. The mean (SD) time before intervention was 5.5 (1.8) days. The first group comprised 16 patients whose fractures were reduced between days 1 and 5 after the injury, and the second the 8 whose fractures were reduced between days 6 and 10. At 6 months 15 of the 24 were satisfied with the result, and 9 were not. In the group treated between days 1-5, 12/16 were happy with the result, and in the group treated between days 6-10, 3/8 were satisfied. Closed reduction gives good results in the treatment of nasal fractures in children. Early intervention increases the rate of satisfaction.

The aim of this study is to introduce a new technique, anterior vaginal wall darn (AVWD), which has not been used before to repair the anterior vaginal wall prolapse, a common problem among women. Materials and Methods. Forty-five women suffering from anterior vaginal wall prolapse were operated on with a new technique. The anterior vaginal wall was detached by sharp and blunt dissection via an incision beginning from the 1 cm proximal aspect of the external meatus extending to the vaginal apex, and the space between the tissues that attach the lateral walls of the vagina to the arcus tendineus fascia pelvis (ATFP) was then darned. Preoperation and early postoperation evaluations of the patients were conducted and summarized. Results. Data were collected six months after operation. Cough stress test (CST), Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification (POP-Q) evaluation, Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7), and Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6) scores indicated recovery. According to the early postoperation results, all patients were satisfied with the operation. No vaginalmucosal erosion or any other complications were detected. Conclusion. In this initial series, our short-termresults suggested that patients with grade II-III anterior vaginal wall prolapsus might be treated successfully with the AVWD method. 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12619/7225 Comment on "Use of Reduced-Dose Periarticular Injection for Pain Management in Simultaneous Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty" (Volume 27 [Number 9] 2012) Köse, Kamil Çağrı 2013-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12619/7223 Comment on "Injectable calcium phosphate cement for augmentation around cancellous bone screws.
