Femoral shortening osteotomy in total hip arthroplasty for severe dysplasia: a comparison of two fixation techniques.

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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to compare two distinct fixation methods for a total hip replacement performed via transverse femoral shortening osteotomy for patients with severe hip dysplasia.
methodsIn this retrospective study we compared two fixation methods for total hip replacement of 78 hips in 76 patients exhibiting Crowe type IV developmental hip dysplasia (DDH). The hip replacements were performed via a transverse femoral shortening osteotomy and carried out between September 2009 and December 2013. Group I patients underwent fixation of the shortened femoral segment via a cable attached to the osteotomied segment, and group II patients underwent fixation with a plate and screw. We compared the two techniques based on operating time, osteotomy site union time, Harris hip score, hip loosening signs, and overall clinical outcomes.
resultsThe mean operating time for groups I and II was determined to be 116.5 ± 12.8 min and 137.7 ± 14 min, respectively (p < 0.05), while the average union time was 113 ± 51 days for group I and 152 ± 37 days for group II (p < 0.05). Fixation of the femur with a cable (group I) is therefore faster and results in more rapid union time when compared to plate osteosynthesis at the osteotomy site (group II). We observed only one non-union in group I compared with three in group II (p = 0.49). Harris hip scores at the final patient follow-up were 82.8 ± 7.8 and 80.8 ± 6.7 for groups I and II, respectively (p = 0.23). Thus, notably no significant differences were observed between the groups with regard to clinical outcomes such as the Harris hip score or loosening of the replacement components.
conclusionFixation of the removed femoral segment with a cable provided adequate rotational stability and decreased the operating time, leading to early union at the osteotomy site.
