Comparative analysis of surgical treatment modalities for a popliteal pterygium: a meta-analysis

CONCLUSION: The management of PP demands a comprehensive approach, considering individual patient characteristics and treatment outcomes. While different surgical modalities offer distinct benefits, a classification or guideline to treat this deformity is still lacking. Further research is essential to validate findings, refine treatment approaches, and enhance the quality of life for individuals with PP.PMID:38613612 | DOI:10.1007/s00402-024-05292-8
