The December 2015 Shoulder & Elbow Roundup360 looks at:

The April 2015 Foot & Ankle Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: Plantar pressures linked to radiographs; Strength training for ankle instability?; Is weight loss good for your feet?; Diabetes and foot surgery complications; Tantalum for failed ankle arthroplasty?; Steroids, costs and Morton’s neuroma; Ankle arthritis and subtalar joint

The December 2014 Foot & Ankle Roundup360 looks at: Charcot feet, biomarkers and diabetes; weight bearing following Achilles tendon rupture; endobuttons and mal-reduced diastasis; evidence for stem cell therapies in osteochondral lesions of the talus; syndesmosis fixation in SER ankle fractures; and self-reporting for foot and ankle outcomes.

The first Cochrane Corner of 2014 reports on a bumper number of new and updated reviews from the Cochrane Collaboration. Since November the Cochrane collaboration have turned their beady eye to scrutinise several topical (and sometimes controversial) orthopaedic issues such as pin site care, the use of Continuous Passive Motion (CPM) in the rehabilitation of total knee replacement (TKR) and the efficacy of nerve blocks.

The February 2014 Shoulder & Elbow Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: whether arthroscopic acromioplasty is a cost-effective intervention; shockwave therapy in cuff tear; whether microfracture relieves short-term pain in cuff repair; the promising early results from L-PRF augmented cuff repairs; rehabilitation following cuff repair; supination strength following biceps tendon rupture; whether longer is better in humeral components; fatty degeneration in a rodent model; and the controversial acromioclavicular joint dislocation.
