Traumatic brain injuries are ignored or discriminated in prospective clinical trials on shoulder fractures: a systematic review.

Purpose: Current literature suggests a significant epidemiological association between traumatic brain injury (TBI) and proximal upper limb fractures in addition to major clinical consequences. A systematic review was conducted to assess how TBI is taken into consideration in interventional studies on shoulder fractures.

Methods: The following data sources were used: MEDLINE, EMBASE, EBM Reviews, CINAHL, and OpenGrey databases.

Improved clinical outcomes of outpatient enhanced recovery hip and knee replacements in comparison to standard inpatient procedures: A study of patients who experienced both.

Background: The benefits of combining enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) interventions with an outpatient program for total hip/knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA) are uncertain. This study's main objective was to evaluate adverse events with an ERAS-outpatient compared to standard-inpatient care and secondary objectives were to compare pain, functional recovery, PROMs and satisfaction.

Hypothesis: The ERAS-outpatient program would result in reduced adverse events compared to standard-inpatient care.
