In this edition of Cochrane Corner, two updated reviews have been published in the Cochrane database. The first is a very broad review of rehabilitation strategies for patients with ankle fractures and includes early mobilization, the use of removable splints, and physical therapy techniques for patients treated with and without surgery. The second evaluates interventions for fixing tibial plateau fractures, including fixation techniques and bone graft substitutes.

The February 2023 Trauma Roundup. 360. looks at: Masquelet versus bone transport in infected nonunion of tibia; Hyperbaric Oxygen for Lower Limb Trauma (HOLLT): an international multicentre randomized clinical trial; Is the T-shaped acetabular fracture really a “T”?; What causes cut-out of proximal femur nail anti-rotation device in intertrochanteric fractures?; Is the common femoral artery at risk with percutaneous fragility pelvis fixation?; Anterior pelvic ring pattern predicts displacement in lateral compression fractures; Differences in age-related characteristics among elderly patients with hip fractures

The December 2015 Trauma Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: Delay to surgery in hip fracture; Hexapod fixators in the management of hypertrophic tibial nonunions; Thromboembolism after nailing pathological fractures; Tibial plateau fracture patterns under the spotlight; The health economic effects of long bone nonunion; Adverse outcomes in trauma; The sacral screw in children; Treating the contralateral SUFE

The December 2014 Children’s orthopaedics Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: predicting drift in supracondylar fractures; do normal hips dislocate?; the burden of trampoline fractures; muscle eversion activity is strongly predictive of outcome in CTEV; the modified Dunn osteotomy; plaster and moulded casts; and psychology and fractures.

The August 2014 Trauma Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: On-table CT for calcaneal fractures; timing of femoral fracture surgery and outcomes; salvage arthroplasty for failed internal fixation of the femoral neck; screw insertion in osteoporotic bone; fibular intramedullary nailing on the ascendant; posterior wall acetabular fractures not all that innocent; bugs, plating and resistance and improving outcomes in olecranon tension band wiring.

The February 2013 Children’s orthopaedics Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: ABC treated with suction and curettage; peri-acetabular osteotomy; cast index; Perthes’ disease associated with accidental injury; brachial plexus birth palsy; MRI assessment of DDH; total meniscectomy; and paediatric septic arthritis.
