Open reduction and internal fixation are the standard of care to stabilize tibial plafond fractures. However, it remains uncertain as to whether fixation of the fibula affects the outcome. This study aimed to review the evidence base for comparable outcomes in tibial plafond fractures when undergoing open reduction and internal fixation of ipsilateral fibula fractures compared with open reduction and internal fixation of the tibia alone.

This meta-analysis compares outcomes of arthroscopic-assisted VLP to fluoroscopic-assisted VLP in distal radius fractures through a systematic review of the published literature.
Methods: A systematic search of publications from databases (Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane) was obtained from inception to May 2020.
Background: Precise and accurate alignments in total knee arthroplasty are important predictors for survivorship and functional outcomes. We aim to compare accelerometer-based navigation (ABN) to conventional instrumentation (CONV), patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) and computer-assisted surgery (CAS) in published literature.
Methods: A systematic search of publications from databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane) was obtained from inception to 15 August 2018.
Background And Aims: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) commonly affects women during their reproductive years, leading to concerns regarding pregnancy outcomes and therapeutic safety. The aim of this study was to assess the risks associated with anti-tumour necrosis factor α (anti-TNFα) therapy for pregnancy outcomes, including rates of congenital abnormality, based on published studies.
Methods: Published studies were screened from on-line databases and international meeting abstracts.
