Cochrane Database Syst Rev
August 2023
Article Synopsis
- Donor site wounds from split-thickness skin grafts can lead to significant health issues, making the selection of an effective dressing essential for proper healing.
- This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of hydrogel dressings compared to other dressing types for treating these donor site wounds.
- The research reviewed data from various sources, focusing on randomized controlled trials, and ultimately analyzed two studies involving 162 participants to determine the impact of hydrogel dressings on healing outcomes.
Background And Purpose: Proximal femur is a common site for metastasis, it has a significant impact on patient's quality of life, and traditional treatment aims at protecting as much as possible from the femur. However, recent studies have demonstrated increased rate of complications and questioned the need for long stem in this high-risk group. Our purpose is to determine whether standard-length femoral stem is noninferior to long femoral stem in the treatment of proximal femoral metastasis.
