Review Meta Analysis
Timing of extremity fracture fixation in patients with traumatic brain injury: A meta-analysis of prognosis.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common public health problem. The optimal timing of fracture fixation in patients with TBI has remained controversial. We conducted a meta-analysis to quantitatively discuss the effects of fixation timing on the prognosis of patients with extremity fracture and concomitant TBI. ⋯ Late fracture fixation conducted >14 days after injury was associated with nonunion or malunion. Fixation performed within 24 hours did not influence mortality or adverse neurologic events.

Review Meta Analysis Comparative Study
Minimally Invasive versus Open Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion for Single-Level Degenerative Disease: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
We compared the safety and effectiveness of minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MI-TLIF) to open TLIF (O-TLIF) for lumbar degenerative disease. ⋯ Relative to O-TLIF, MI-TLIF was associated with less blood loss, a shorter hospital stay, and slightly less disability, at the expense of longer fluoroscopy times.

Review Multicenter Study
Navigable Channel-Based Trans-sulcal Resection of Third Ventricular Colloid Cysts: A Multicenter Retrospective Case-Series and Review of the Literature.
Developments in frameless neuronavigation and tubular retractors hold the potential for minimizing iatrogenic injury to the overlying cortex and subcortical tracts, with improved access to the ventricular system. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the surgical outcomes after resection of third ventricular colloid cysts using an integrated neuronavigation and channel-based approach. ⋯ Use of a channel-based navigable retractor provided a minimal trans-sulcal approach to third ventricular colloid cysts with the benefit of bimanual surgical control in an air medium for definitive resection of third ventricular colloid cysts.
