TL;DR: The best evidence showed that hemiarthroplasty and THA likely result in similar revision rate, function, mortality, periprosthetic fracture, and dislocation at up to 5 years, with a small, possibly unimportant benefit in health-related quality of life with THA.

TL;DR: Surgical treatment led to a greater likelihood of union at 1 year of follow-up among adult patients with displaced mid-third clavicle fractures and outperformed nonoperative treatment with minor improvements in DASH and Constant scores, though not approaching the MCID.

TL;DR: A network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials on DRF treatment found no clinically important differences in terms of the DASH score at 1 year; although differences were found, all were less than the MCID of 10 points.

TL;DR: There is a lack of consensus on critical outcomes after surgery for thumb CMC joint OA, and a standardized COS created by stakeholder consensus would improve the consistency and therefore the quality of future research.

TL;DR: The incidence of symptomatic VTE in hip fracture patients recruited to the FAITH and HEALTH trials was 2.5%.
