Displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures can be treated with open reduction and internal fixation through various methods, including the extensile lateral approach, sinus tarsi approach, percutaneous reduction and fixation, external fixation, and calcaneoplasty. Although the gold standard is the extensile lateral approach, this method has significant wound-healing complications associated with it. Literature shows that the reduction achieved through minimally invasive techniques is equal to that achieved with the extensile lateral approach, while reducing the amount of postoperative complications. This article outlines a technique that uses the sinus tarsi approach with subcutaneous plate fixation.

Background: Grip Strength has been established as a practical and efficient method for screening and diagnosing sarcopenia. It is recognized that with advancing age, there is a more significant decline in lower limb muscle mass compared to the upper limb. However, due to the inherent complexity of assessing lower limb muscle strength compared to measuring Grip Strength, these assessments have not been universally adopted for sarcopenia screening.

Subtalar arthroereisis (AR) is a minimally invasive procedure that corrects FFF by limiting excessive pronation of the subtalar joint. Two main techniques exist: endosinotarsal AR, which involves placing an implant in the sinus tarsi, and exosinotarsal AR, which uses a screw external to the sinus tarsi.

This systematic review and network meta-analysis (NMA) sought to compare different antidepressant treatments for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) in order to facilitate evidence-based choices. A literature search of PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Embase from inception until April 13th, 2023 identified randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) of adults with depression who had not responded to at least two antidepressant trials; all RCTs had ≥10 participants per study arm, and participants with bipolar or psychotic depression were excluded. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool-2 was used to assess study quality.
