Kai Bauwens,Gerrit Matthes,Michael Wich,Florian Gebhard,Beate Hanson,Axel Ekkernkamp,Dirk Stengel +6 more
TL;DR: Navigated knee replacement provides few advantages over conventional surgery on the basis of radiographic end points and its clinical benefits are unclear and remain to be defined on a larger scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Periacetabular and intertrochanteric osteotomy for the treatment of osteoarthrosis in dysplastic hips
TL;DR: The results of periacetabular osteotomy, with and without intertrochanteric osteotomies, performed between January 1984 and December 1990, were reviewed for forty-two patients who had osteoarthrosis in a congenitally dysplastic hip.
Journal ArticleDOI
Primary total hip arthroplasty versus hemiarthroplasty for displaced intracapsular hip fractures in older patients: systematic review
TL;DR: Single stage total hip arthroplasty may lead to lower reoperation rates and better functional outcomes compared with hemiarthroplasty in older patients with displaced femoral neck fractures, but heterogeneity across the available trials and distinct subgroup effects preclude definitive statements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergency ultrasound‐based algorithms for diagnosing blunt abdominal trauma
TL;DR: The experimental evidence justifying FAST-based clinical pathways in diagnosing patients with suspected abdominal or multiple blunt trauma remains poor and this Cochrane Review may be regarded as a review which provides the best available evidence for clinical practice guidelines and management recommendations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficacy of total ankle replacement with meniscal-bearing devices: a systematic review and meta-analysis
TL;DR: Ankle arthroplasty improves pain and joint mobility in end-stage ankle arthritis and its performance in comparison to the current reference standard remains to be defined in a properly designed randomized trial.
