Arthroscopic Treatment Outcomes Protocol

The data from each study was abstracted into predetermined tables using Google Sheets by 2 reviewers (D.L.L. and H.A.K.) and further reviewed by the third author (M.H.). The following data were abstracted from the studies if available: study characteristics (author, publication year, journal, level of evidence, study design, etc), number of patients, participants characteristics (i.e., age, sex, etc), follow-up length, details of the treatment performed (arthroscopic portals, TTC nail, etc), subjective outcomes (the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society [AOFAS] ankle-hindfoot score, visual analog scale for pain, etc) pain scale, and complications. Descriptions of the procedures, arthroscopy portals, patient positioning, and instruments used were summarized.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
