Comparison of quadriceps snip and tibial tubercle osteotomy in revision for infected total knee arthroplasty.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purposeControversies exist regarding the ideal approach in a revision total knee arthroplasty for infection, providing adequate exposure with minimum complications. The purpose of this study was to compare the results of second stage revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) between tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) and quadriceps snip (QS) approaches for infected TKA.
methodsThe clinical and radiological outcomes of 27 patients of TTO and 21 patients of QS in second stage revision TKA for infected TKA were compared with an average follow up of 51 months. We evaluated the clinical outcomes including HSS score, WOMAC score, flexion contracture, and maximal flexion between two groups. The radiological outcomes in terms of femorotibial alignment, patellar height and complications were also compared.
resultsAt the final follow-up, KSS score, HSS score, WOMAC score, flexion contracture, and maximal flexion showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups. The femorotibial alignment and patellar height also showed no differences between the two groups. During the surgery, patellar tendon partial avulsion was more commonly observed in the QS group than in the TTO group (five vs two cases).
conclusionBoth tibial tubercle osteotomy and quadriceps snip in revision TKA were considered as good approaches without significant complications. However, cautious exposure of patellar tendon or strong fixation of the osteotomy is needed to minimize the complications.
