Article Synopsis
- Displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures are challenging for surgeons and have historically shifted from conservative management to more operative fixation methods.
- A study on 17 patients treated with percutaneous fixation using cannulated screws showed impressive outcomes, with 94% of fractures achieving good to excellent results according to several scoring systems.
- The method proved effective without any wound complications, although there were minor issues with a broken k-wire and prominent screws in a couple of patients.
Background: This systematic review aims to determine the best modality for the management of meniscal cysts and its associated meniscus tear; whether the meniscal cyst treated via arthroscopy or open methods and whether meniscal debridement or repair achieves better results.
Methods: This systematic review was performed using PRISMA guidelines. A literature search of PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane was carried out in July 2020 using the search terms 'meniscal cyst' and 'treatment'.
Short graft anterior cruciate igament reconstruction is increasing in popularity for performing a primary ACLR. The short graft coupled with the all-inside technique using closed sockets and suspensory fixation at both femoral and tibial ends are its defining features. The outcomes of this technique have been comparable to well established transportal ACLR techniques.

Methods: A comprehensive evidence-based literature review of PubMed and Cochrane Databases was conducted in March 2019, which identified 11 relevant articles assessing the efficacy of plantar fascia radiofrequency microtenotomy.
