The August 2014 Research Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: Antibiotic loaded ceramic of use in osteomyelitis; fibronectin implicated in cartilage degeneration; Zinc Chloride accelerates fracture healing in rats; advertisements and false claims; Net Promoter Score: substance or rhetoric?; aspirin for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis and dissection, stress and the soul.

The August 2014 Shoulder & Elbow Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: Myofibroblasts perhaps not implicated in post-traumatic elbow stiffness; olecranon tip biomechanically sound for coranoid reconstruction; obesity and elbow replacement don’t mix; single column plating successful for extra-articular distal humeral fractures; satisfaction not predictable in frozen shoulder; tenodesis and repair both acceptable in Grade II SLAP tears; glenoid bone grafting is effective and glenohumeral articular lesions best seen with an arthroscope.

The December 2012 Shoulder & Elbow Roundup³⁶⁰ looks at: whether allograft is biomechanically superior in large Hill-Sachs defects; glenoid bone loss in shoulder dislocators; repairing irreparable cuff tears; acromioclavicular joint injuries; whether more radiographs equals more surgery; whether reverse TSR is cheaper than hemiarthroplasty; autologous chondrocyte implantation in the shoulder; and fracture of the clavicle.
