Anterior cruciate ligament rupture is a common knee injury. Surgical treatment, usually involving reconstruction of the ligament, is widely used especially in active individuals.
- Surgical versus conservative interventions for displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Dec-2012
Fractures of the calcaneus (heel bone) comprise up to 2% of all fractures. These fractures are mostly caused by a fall from a height, and are common in younger adults. Treatment can be surgical or non-surgical; however, there is clinical uncertainty over
- Surgical versus conservative interventions for treating acromioclavicular dislocation of the shoulder in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Oct-2019
Dislocation of the acromioclavicular joint is one of the most common shoulder injuries in a sport-active population. The question of whether surgery should be used remains controversial. This is an update of a Cochrane Review first published in 2010.
- Surgical versus conservative interventions for treating ankle fractures in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Jun-2012
The annual incidence of ankle fractures is 122 per 100,000 people. They usually affect young men and older women. The question of whether surgery or conservative treatment should be used for ankle fractures remains controversial.
- Surgical versus conservative interventions for treating anterior cruciate ligament injuries
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Apr-2016
Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a common injury, mainly affecting young, physically active individuals. The injury is characterised by joint instability, leading to decreased activity, which can lead to poor knee-related quality of life
