Background: Intra-articular and comminuted fractures of the calcaneus constitute a significant orthopedic challenge. Calcaneal fracture management should primarily aim to achieve good clinical and biomechanical outcomes, pain reduction, and normal function following treatment.
Research Question: How does Ilizarov treatment of calcaneal fractures affect gait parameters?
Methods: This retrospective study included 21patients (7 women, 14 men) who were treated for intra-articular calcaneal fractures with the Ilizarov method in the period 2021-2022.
Up to 75% of calcaneal fractures are intra-articular fractures, which may severely impair foot function and lead to disability. We retrospectively analyzed 21 patients with intra-articular calcaneal fractures who had been treated with the Ilizarov method in the period 2021-2022. The mean patient age was 47 years (range 25-67 years).

We also assessed reactions of attending physicians to comprehensive navigation.
Methods: Clients who completed navigation as an employee benefit or through membership in an insurance organization were polled to determine whether they needed help beyond that provided by the provincial health system and the extent to which that help was provided by navigation.
Purpose: To provide recommendations for appropriate cytotoxic chemotherapy dosing for obese adult patients with cancer.
Methods: The American Society of Clinical Oncology convened a Panel of experts in medical and gynecologic oncology, clinical pharmacology, pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenetics, and biostatistics and a patient representative. MEDLINE searches identified studies published in English between 1996 and 2010, and a systematic review of the literature was conducted.
