Three dimensional patient-specific printed cutting guides for closing-wedge distal femoral osteotomy.

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
purposeMedial closing-wedge distal femoral osteotomy (MCWDFO) was used to treat valgus knee malalignment combined with lateral compartment disease. The clinical outcome of the osteotomy depends on the accurate correction of valgus malalignment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of a MCWDFO assisted by three-dimensional (3D)-printed cutting guides and locking guides. PATIENTS AND
methodsThirty-three consecutive patients (33 knees) were operated on using the same MCWDFO. 3D-printed cutting guides and locking guides were used to locate the osteotomy cut plane and to facilitate closing the wedge in 12 patients (3D-guide group). Another 21 patients (conventional group) underwent MCWDFO following the conventional technique. The desired correction was defined as a weight-bearing line (WBL) coordinate 50% of the width of the tibial plateau from the medial tibial margin. The deviation between the planned and executed WBL coordinate, surgical time and fluoroscopic time were compared.
resultsThe mean deviation between the planned and executed WBL coordinate was 4.9% in the 3D-guide group and 7.6% in the conventional group (P = 0.024). Shorter surgical time was found in the 3D-guide group (mean, 77.7 minutes vs. mean, 96.5 minutes; P < 0.001), while the mean number of intra-operative fluoroscopic images was 6.1, compared with 34.7 in the conventional group (P < 0.001).
conclusionThe use of 3D-printed cutting guides and locking guides can increase the precision of the MCWDFO in patients with lateral compartment disease and valgus deformity, making our surgery more efficiency and occupying less fluoroscopic time.
