Gait analysis in short-term follow-up of medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy.
Article in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundBiomechanical gait changes are proposed as adaptations to medial knee osteoarthritis (OA), and little is known about which parameters can be modified early by high tibial osteotomy (HTO) surgery. The aim of this study was to identify early gait changes in a postoperative period of 6 months as compared to a control group, in three different spatial planes.
methodsTwenty-one patients with OA were submitted to three-dimensional gait analysis preoperatively and 6 months after HTO surgery. Sixteen healthy individuals were selected for the control group.
resultsCompared to the control group, OA patients walked more slowly, with a shorter stride length, and with a higher knee varus and flexion angles. The gait changes detected in the postoperative of 6 months were a significant reduction in knee varus angle and adductor moment in coronal plane; an important reduction in knee extension and an increased extensor moment in sagittal plane; also an increased foot external rotation angle in axial plane was observed. Flexion angle peak in swing phase, adductor and flexor moments were the gait parameters with postoperatively results that were closer to those of the control group.
conclusionsEven in a short follow-up of 6 months, HTO determines positive results in biomechanical gait, not only in the coronal plane but also in the sagittal and axial planes and should be taken into account during the rehabilitation process.
