Femoral shortening and cementless arthroplasty in Crowe type 4 congenital dislocation of the hip.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeIn reconstruction of congenital hip dislocation by total hip arthroplasty (THA), positioning of the acetabular component in the true acetabulum is sometimes accompanied by shortening of the femur. Shortening of the femur is of importance for minimising risk of damaging neurovascular structures due to excessive limb lengthening. Furthermore, reduction of the femoral head into the true acetabulum remains challenging without shortening of the femur.
methodsWe performed a consecutive case series of cementless THA with femoral shortening and Crowe type 4 congenital dislocation. All acetabular cups were placed in their original anatomical location. In all cases a proximal diaphyseal step-cut shortening osteotomy was performed and stabilised with two to three titanium cerclage bands.
resultsAt an average of 60 months follow-up (range 36-96), 12 patients (13 THA) were scored clinically by the Merle D'Aubigne and Harris hip scores. In ten cases good to excellent outcome scores were observed. During the follow-up period no cases of aseptic loosening, nerve palsy, nonunions or dislocations were found.
conclusionsThis technique seems to be an excellent treatment option in the case of Crowe type 4 hips presenting with endstage osteoarthritis.
