Things have not been quiet in the Cochrane Collaboration in the four months since the last 'Cochrane Corner', with the publication of six new or updated reviews summarised here, all conducted with the bulletproof Collaboration's methodology representing the pinnacle of evidence relevant to orthopaedic surgeons.

The August 2013 Trauma Roundup. 360 . looks at: reverse oblique fractures do better with a cephalomedullary device; locking screws confer no advantage in tibial plateau fractures; it’s all about the radius of curvature; radius of curvature revisited; radial head replacement in complex elbow reconstruction; stem cells in early fracture haematoma; heterotrophic ossification in forearms; and Boston in perspective
