Computed tomography evaluation of total knee arthroplasty implants position after two different surgical methods of implantation.

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 objectives of this study were to determine the reliability of a novel method of measuring the rotational alignment of an anatomical tibial tray, the difference in the rotational alignment of the femoral and tibial component according to pure measured resection or blended technique with tensor, and, finally, the difference in terms of clinical results according to the two different methods. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe performed a total of 60 consecutive TKAs: 30 according to pure measured resection and 30 according to blended technique with tensor (FuZion®). Clinical scores and CT scan were done at six months to measure patient's outcome and prosthetic components rotation.
resultsThe method of measurement of tibial tray had high agreement between different radiological observers. Mean external rotation alignment of the femur was 2.7° in standard group and 0.5° in the FuZion® group. For all clinical indices, we observed a large and significant improvement at follow-up, better in blended technique group, but without a clear superiority, and no statistically significant difference was evident between the two groups. At follow-up, HSS was to 89.7 in the FuZion® group and 89.0 in the standard group, KSS (clinical) was 92.6 in and 91.3 respectively, and KSS (Functional) was 91.0 in the FuZion® group and 87.6 in the standard group.
conclusionsOur CT measurement method is reliable and reproducible. All patients operated with this personalized knee system design obtained excellent results; the customization of femoral rotation with a blended technique is, probably, the key to optimize the outcomes and achieve the state of forgotten knee.
