Degenerative meniscal tears of the knee: evaluation and management.

Meniscal injuries are among the most common orthopaedic injuries seen in knee clinics. Meniscal tears can occur as a result of acute injuries or chronic degeneration. However, the exact incidence of meniscal tears is difficult to ascertain because of the high number of asymptomatic tears and the high rate of degenerative tears in patients with advanced degenerative joint disease.

Metalwork Prominence and Operative Interventions for Treating Olecranon Fractures: Systematic Review of Randomised Controlled Trials.

In this systematic review of randomized controlled trials, we aimed to assess the effects of different surgical treatments for olecranon fractures in adults, especially the rate of metalwork prominence. We searched the Cochrane Bone, Joint, and Muscle Trauma Group's Specialized Register (2018), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL, 2018, Issue 1), Ovid MEDLINE (1946-2018), and Embase (1980-2018). We also searched ISRCTN registry, ClinicalTrials.
