    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2014) Kaymaz, Burak; Eroglu, Mehmet; Kaymaz, Nazan; Ucar, Mehmet
    A 16-year-old boy presented with a patellar mass and anterior knee pain without any trauma. On physical and radiologic assessment, a mass at the superolateral edge of the patella and a hyperintense lesion on T2 sequences of magnetic resonance imaging was detected. Excisional biopsy revealed a chondroma of patella. Primary bone tumors of the patella are extremely rare and occurence of chondroma in this localization is very uncommon. Although anterior knee pain is a very frequent and usually harmless, it is essential to consider the more severe disorders such as bone tumors.

    (Sage Publications Inc, 2015) Golge, Umut Hatay; Kaymaz, Burak; Komurcu, Erkam; Eroglu, Mehmet; Goksel, Ferdi; Nusran, Gurdal
    Background Patients consulting bone setters is common in the eastern and south-eastern regions of Turkey. The reasons for consulting bone setters instead of qualified doctors remains unclear. We investigated the characteristics of such patients who consult traditional bone setters after trauma prior to admission to hospital. Methods In the study, 3,422 of 14,080 patients were investigated admitted to hospital between January 2012 and February 2013 with trauma or sequelae of such who were previously treated by bone setters. The characteristics of these patients and the main reasons for consultation of bone setters instead of doctors were recorded. Results Most of the patients consulting bone setters were found to be young adults or children. Generally speaking, the poorly educated prefer bone setters despite having social insurance. The most common reason (29.3%) was a general preference and secondarily (27.1%) the fear of being disabled after medical treatment. However, the most common cause of patients' consultation at hospital subsequently was due to complications of treatment (46.8%); indeed the complication rate after bone setters' intervention was found to be 54.8%. Conclusion Although improvements have occurred in the access to and utilisation of healthcare services, consultation by patients of bone setters seems to be a sociocultural and educational issue rather than a problem of lack of medical insurance.
