Objective: Morton's neuroma presents a challenge in terms of pain management. This study aimed to evaluate the available evidence on the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation for Morton's neuroma.
Design: PRISMA guidelines were followed.
Background/objective: The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the current evidence on the relative efficacy of ozone injections for improving patient-reported outcomes (PROMs).
Methods: A literature search was conducted in four databases, and PROMs were analyzed. Odds ratios (ORs), mean differences, and standard mean differences with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated.
Background: Introduction: Robotic surgery in total hip arthroplasty (THA) has emerged as a promising approach for improving precision and reducing errors. This meta-analysis aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of robot-assisted MAKO total hip arthroplasty.
Methods: Studies were searched using four databases.
: Hallux valgus is a common foot deformity that requires surgical correction to restore proper alignment. Precision in the osteotomies performed during these surgeries is critical to avoid complications and improve outcomes. However, variability in surgeon experience can negatively affect precision.

- The NATALEE trial evaluated the effectiveness of ribociclib in combination with nonsteroidal aromatase inhibitors (NSAI) compared to NSAI alone over three years for treating HR+/HER2- early breast cancer patients.
- The study involved 5,101 patients who were randomized to receive either ribociclib plus NSAI or NSAI alone, with the primary focus on invasive disease-free survival (iDFS).
- Results showed that ribociclib plus NSAI significantly improved iDFS, with 90.7% of patients remaining disease-free compared to 87.6% for those on NSAI alone, while safety profiles remained consistent with no new safety concerns.
