The efficacy of preoperative tranexamic acid administration among patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Aim: To conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that investigated the effectiveness of tranexamic acid (TXA) among patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR).

Methods: Five databases were screened until December 18, 2022. The included RCTs were assessed for risk of bias, and the endpoints were summarized as mean difference/standardized mean difference (MD/SMD) or risk ratio (RR) with the 95% confidence interval (CI) in a random-effects model.

Serial Post-Operative Radiographs in Surgically Managed Pediatric Supracondylar Humeral Fractures: Are They Always Required?

Objective:  Supracondylar humeral fractures are among the most common pediatric fractures that require surgical intervention when displaced. Recent attention has been directed towards the utilization of serial radiographs in the post-operative period and their effect on decision-making. This study aimed to determine the usefulness of postoperative radiographs early post-operatively, with the goal of determining the optimal frequency for these radiographs.
