- Surgical treatment for the thumb-in-palm deformity in patients with cerebral palsy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Oct-2008
Thumb-in-palm deformity in patients with spastic cerebral palsy is a deformity that impairs the ability to use the thumb and thus severely limits hand function. From the variety of operative procedures that have been described, it may be clear that there - Surgical treatment options for carpal tunnel syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Mar-2014
Carpal tunnel syndrome is a common disorder for which several surgical treatment options are available. - Surgical versus conservative interventions for anterior cruciate ligament ruptures in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Apr-2016
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 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 fractures of the middle third of the clavicle
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jan-2019
Clavicle fractures are common, accounting for 2.6% to 4% of all fractures. Eighty per cent of clavicle fractures are located in the middle third of the clavicle. Although treatment of these fractures is usually non-surgical, displaced clavicle fractures m - Surgical versus conservative management for odontoid fractures
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Oct-2010
Fractures of the odontoid process of the second cervical vertebra can result in instability, neurological damage and death. Treatment includes conservative management (external immobilisation devices) or surgical treatment (internal fixation by posterior - Surgical versus conservative treatment for acute injuries of the lateral ligament complex of the ankle in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-Nov-2009
Ankle sprains are one of the most commonly treated musculoskeletal injuries. The three main treatment modalities for acute lateral ankle ligament injuries are immobilisation with plaster cast or splint, 'functional treatment' comprising early mobilisation - Surgical versus medical interventions for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Nov-2014
Nasal polyps cause nasal obstruction, discharge and reduction in or loss of sense of smell, but their aetiology is unknown. The management of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, aimed at improving these symptoms, includes both surgical and medical t - Surgical versus medical methods for second trimester induced abortion
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Apr-2008
Determining the optimal method of performing second-trimester abortions is important, since they account for a disproportionate amount of abortion-related morbidity and mortality. - Surgical versus nonsurgical interventions for flail chest
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 28-Jul-2015
Thoracic trauma (TT) is common among people with multiple traumatic injuries. One of the injuries caused by TT is the loss of thoracic stability resulting from multiple fractures of the rib cage, otherwise known as flail chest (FC). A person with FC can b - Surgical versus non-surgical interventions for treating humeral shaft fractures in adults
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 16-Nov-2011
Fractures of the shaft of the humerus account for 1% to 3% of all fractures in adults. The management of these fractures, including surgical intervention, varies widely. - Surgical versus non-surgical interventions in people with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Apr-2015
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine. While AIS can progress during growth and cause a surface deformity, it is usually not symptomatic. However, if the final spinal curvature surpasses a certain critical thr - Surgical versus non-surgical management for pleural empyema
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Mar-2017
Empyema refers to pus in the pleural space, commonly due to adjacent pneumonia, chest wall injury, or a complication of thoracic surgery. A range of therapeutic options are available for its management, ranging from percutaneous aspiration and intercostal - Surgical versus non-surgical management of abdominal injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Nov-2015
Injury to the abdomen can be blunt or penetrating. Abdominal injury can damage internal organs such as the liver, spleen, kidneys, intestine, and large blood vessels. There are controversies about the best approach to manage abdominal injuries. - Surgical versus non-surgical management of pleural empyema
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jul-2009
Pleural empyema is a collection of pus between the lungs and the chest wall. There is debate about treatment options with the advent of both fibrinolytic enzymes to facilitate tube drainage and less invasive video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). - Surgical versus non-surgical treatment for acute anterior shoulder dislocation
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Apr-2010
Acute anterior dislocation is the commonest type of shoulder dislocation. Subsequently, the shoulder is less stable and more susceptible to redislocation, especially in active young adults. - Surgical versus non-surgical treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis
