- Surgical interventions for symptomatic mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis

- Surgical interventions for the prevention or treatment of lymphoedema after breast cancer treatment

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer amongst women worldwide, and one distressing complication of breast cancer treatment is breast and upper-limb lymphoedema. There is uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of surgical interventions in both t
- Surgical interventions for the rheumatoid shoulder

Involvment of the shoulder joint in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) leads to severe destruction of the glenohumeral joint. When conservative treatment does not result in sufficient improvement, surgical procedures may be considered as the only ben
- Surgical interventions for treating acute Achilles tendon ruptures
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 1-Aug-2010

- Surgical interventions for treating distal tibial metaphyseal fractures in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Mar-2015
The distal tibial metaphysis is located in the lower (distal) part of the tibia (shin bone). Fractures of this part of the tibia are most commonly due to a high energy injury in young men and to osteoporosis in older women. The optimal methods of surgical
- Surgical interventions for treating extracapsular hip fractures in older adults: a network meta‐analysis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Feb-2022
Hip fractures are a major healthcare problem, presenting a challenge and burden to individuals and healthcare systems. The number of hip fractures globally is rising. The majority of extracapsular hip fractures are treated surgically.
- Surgical interventions for treating fractures of the olecranon in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Nov-2014
Fractures of the olecranon (the bony tip of the elbow) account for approximately 1% of all upper extremity fractures. Surgical intervention is often required to restore elbow function. Two key methods of surgery are tension band wire fixation and plate fi
