Minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fusion using triangular titanium implants versus nonsurgical management for sacroiliac joint dysfunction: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Minimally invasive sacroiliac joint (MISIJ) fusion is a surgical option to relieve SIJ pain. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare MISIJ fusion with triangular titanium implants (TTI) to nonoperative management of SIJ dysfunction.

Methods: We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials.

Accuracy of Umbilical Cord Complete Blood Count in Detecting Early-Onset Neonatal Thrombocytopenia.

Background: Neonatal thrombocytopenia (NTCP) is a common hematological disorder whose platelet count falls below the normal limit of 150 x 10/L. NTCP can cause late complications if left untreated. The current study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of the umbilical cord complete blood count (UC CBC) in detecting early-onset neonatal thrombocytopenia (EO-NTCP).

Operative versus non-operative management of primary patellar dislocation: A systematic review and network meta-analysis.

Background: Acute patellar dislocation is a common knee injury in adolescents and adults that is associated with a high incidence of medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) injuries. The aim of this network meta-analysis was to compare the different operative and non-operative protocols for the management of primary patellar dislocation (PPD).

Methods: We searched Medline, Embase, and CENTRAL databases.
