Meta Analysis[Systematic review of the earlier safety of closed suction drainage for knee arthroplasty].
To evaluate the earlier safety of closed suction drainage systems for knee arthroplasty. ⋯ There is insufficient evidence from randomised trials to support the routine use of closed suction drainage in knee arthroplasty. It results in an increase in the number of patients requiring blood transfusion. However, because of the poor trial methodology of many of the studies and the inadequate reporting of outcomes, further randomized trials on this topic are justified.

Meta Analysis[Systematic review of anterior versus posterior surgical treatments of thoracolumbar fractures].
To evaluate the effectiveness of anterior versus posterior surgical treatments of thoracolumbar fractures. ⋯ To compare with posterior fixation system, anterior surgical managements in the thoracolumbar spinal trauma might be the optimal choices because the lower rates of complications and loss of corrected kyphosis angle; better neurologic recovery, also. Besides, due to the lack of Evidence-based guidelines for the treatment of thoracolumbar spinal injuries, the results which indicated above need further study.
