Distal radius: anatomical morphometric gender characteristics. Do anatomical pre-shaped plates pay attention on it?
The purpose of the study was to investigate differences in the osseous structure anatomy of male and female distal radii. ⋯ Male dimensions concerning the wide were significantly larger when compared with females. Regarding the PCA at the medial and lateral column, we found significant difference for lateral PCA concerning the gender. Overall, study results demonstrated an angle of 148.25° ± 6.83 for the medial PCA and 156.07° ± 7.00 for the lateral PCA.

Meta Analysis Comparative StudyCervical disc arthroplasty versus anterior cervical discectomy and fusion for treatment of symptomatic cervical disc disease: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of cervical disc arthroplasty with anterior cervical discectomy and fusion for treatment of symptomatic cervical disc disease. Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is the conventional surgical treatment for symptomatic cervical disc disease. Recently, cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) has been developed to address some of the shortcomings associated with ACDF by preserving function of the motion segment. Controversy still surrounds regarding whether CDA is better. ⋯ The meta-analysis revealed that CDA demonstrated superiorities in better neurological success, greater motion preservation at the operated level, lower rate of adverse events and fewer secondary surgical procedures compared with ACDF. However, the benefits of blood loss, lengths of hospital stay, neck and arm pain functional recovery are still unable to be proved.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyA comparison of acute and chronic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using LARS artificial ligaments: a randomized prospective study with a 5-year follow-up.
This prospective randomized study compared acute and chronic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using ligament advanced reinforcement system (LARS) artificial ligament in young active adults with a 5-year follow-up. ⋯ These results suggest that earlier ACL reconstruction using a LARS artificial ligament may provide an advantage in the treatment and rehabilitation of ACL rupture.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyCorticosteroid injection for trigger finger: blinded or ultrasound-guided injection?
Trigger digit is one of the most common causes of pain and disability in the hand. The mainstay of conservative treatment of this disease has been local steroid injection into the tendon sheath. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical benefit of an ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection compared to a blinded application. ⋯ Level 1(prospective randomised study).
