In obese patients, does robotic assisted total knee arthroplasty provide advantages over conventional total knee arthroplasty with respect to patient-important outcomes?

For the treatment of adhesive capsulitis (tennis elbow), which is better: steroid or platelet-rich plasma?

What provides the most effective thromboprophylaxis after arthroplasty or hip fracture surgery: aspirin or enoxaparin?

In patients with insertional Achilles tendinopathy, can radial shockwave therapy provide effective pain relief?

In patients with distal radius fractures managed surgically with an open reduction and internal fixation procedure, is immobilization post-operation necessary?

EDITOR'S PICK

Comparison of the Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma vs Corticosteroid in Treating Adhesive Capsulitis

13 randomized controlled trials including 1056 patients with adhesive capsulitis were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis comparing platelet-rich plasma (PRP) vs corticosteroid (CS) injections. Pooled outcomes of interest included Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain scores, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) scores, and shoulder range of motion (ROM) measures including abduction, flexion, external rotation, and internal rotation. PRP and CS demonstrated comparable short-term pain relief and functional outcomes at 1 month, while PRP showed significantly greater improvements in pain, function, and multiple range of motion measures at longer-term follow-up. Overall, the findings suggest that PRP may provide more sustained clinical benefits than CS for adhesive capsulitis, particularly during the chronic or fibrotic stages of disease.
