Key Highlights
14 studies with 875 patients included in the analysis.
No significant differences in surgical time, AOFAS scores, or complication rates between techniques.
In a randomized clinical trial of patients at increased risk for persistent symptoms, clinician-supported biopsychosocial self-management was associated with lower pain impact and fewer chronic pain outcomes than guideline-based medical care.
