- Internal fixation implants for intracapsular hip fractures in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Jan-2011

- Internal fixation versus arthroplasty for intracapsular proximal femoral fractures in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Sep-2011
Displaced intracapsular fractures may be treated by either reduction and internal fixation, which preserves the femoral head, or by replacement of the femoral head with an arthroplasty. This is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2003 and pr
- Interventions for apathy after traumatic brain injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Feb-2009
Apathy is a deficiency in overt behavioural, emotional and cognitive components of goal-directed behaviour. It is a common occurrence after traumatic brain injury (TBI), with widespread impact. We have systematically reviewed studies examining the effecti
- Interventions for improving mobility after hip fracture surgery in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Sep-2022
Improving mobility outcomes after hip fracture is key to recovery. Possible strategies include gait training, exercise and muscle stimulation. This is an update of a Cochrane Review last published in 2011.
- Interventions for increasing pedestrian and cyclist visibility for the prevention of death and injuries
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Aug-2009
Pedestrians and cyclists account for nearly one in three of all road users killed and seriously injured in road traffic crashes. Late detection of other road users is one of the basic driver failures responsible for collisions. Aids to improve pedestrians
- Interventions for ingrowing toenails

The management of sex offenders is a major public concern. Behavioural and pharmacological interventions have been used for many years and more recently cognitive behavioural based interventions have become popular around the world. Programmes designed fo
- Interventions for paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Nov-2008
Poisoning with paracetamol (acetaminophen) is a common cause of hepatotoxicity in the Western World. Inhibition of absorption, removal from the vascular system, antidotes, and liver transplantation are interventions for paracetamol poisoning.
- Interventions for preventing and treating stress fractures and stress reactions of bone of the lower limbs in young adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Nov-2008
Stress reaction in bone, which may proceed to a fracture, is a significant problem in military recruits and in athletes, particularly long distance runners.
- Interventions for preventing ankle ligament injuries
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Mar-2011
Some sports, for example basketball and soccer, have a very high incidence of ankle injuries, mainly sprains. Consequently, ankle sprains are one of the most commonly treated injuries in acute care.
- Interventions for preventing delirium in hospitalised non-ICU patients

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Nov-2009
Approximately 30 per cent of people over 65 years of age and living in the community fall each year; the number is higher in institutions. Although less than one fall in 10 results in a fracture, a fifth of fall incidents require medical attention.
- Interventions for preventing falls in older people in care facilities and hospitals

- Interventions for preventing injuries in problem drinkers
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Sep-2008
