Randomized Controlled Trial
Tranexamic Acid Use in Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of Fractures of the Pelvis, Acetabulum, and Proximal Femur: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
To assess the safety and efficacy of tranexamic acid (TXA) use in fractures of the pelvic ring, acetabulum, and proximal femur. ⋯ Therapeutic Level II. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Ultrasound-Guided Nerve Blocks as Analgesia for Nonoperative Management of Distal Radius Fractures-Two Consecutive Randomized Controlled Trials.
To investigate whether a conventional fracture hematoma block (FHB) or an ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve block has more superior analgesic effect during nonoperative management of distal radius fractures in an emergency department setting. Two peripheral nerve block types were investigated, one at the level of the elbow, or cubital nerve block (CNB), and another an axillary nerve block (ANB). ⋯ Therapeutic Level II. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
The Effect of Foot Massage on Pain Intensity and Anxiety in Patients Having Undergone a Tibial Shaft Fracture Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
To determine the effect of massage therapy on pain intensity and anxiety in patients who have undergone tibial shaft fracture surgery. ⋯ Therapeutic Level I. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
A Prospective Randomized Study on Operative Treatment for Simple Distal Tibial Fractures-Minimally Invasive Plate Osteosynthesis Versus Minimal Open Reduction and Internal Fixation.
To compare the radiologic and clinical results of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) and minimal open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) for simple distal tibial fractures. ⋯ Therapeutic Level II. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Effect of Tranexamic Acid on Transfusion: A Randomized Clinical Trial in Acetabular Fracture Surgery.
Given the increasing evidence that minimizing blood loss and limiting allogeneic transfusion can improve patient outcome, we are performing a randomized controlled trial of the use of tranexamic acid (TXA) during acetabular fracture surgery. ⋯ Therapeutic Level I. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.
