Acute total hip arthroplasty in acetabular fractures using modern porous metal cup.

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 aim of this study was to report the clinical and radiological outcome of using the modern porous metal cup in patients undergoing acute total hip arthroplasty (THA) for selected subset of acetabular fractures. PATIENT AND
methodsEighteen patients with acetabular fracture underwent acute THA with modern porous metal cup from a single manufacturer. Fifteen males and three females with a mean age of 46.4 years (range 21-57 years) were ambispectively followed up for a minimum period of 48 months. All patients were evaluated clinically with Harris Hip Scores (HHS) and radiographically with serial X-rays.
resultsNo patient was lost to follow-up. The HHS was excellent in nine patients, good in six patients, fair in two patients, and poor in one patient. All the fractures were united and the cups were well integrated. There was no lucent line seen in any acetabular zones on the X-rays. One patient had infection, which resolved with debridement. There was one dislocation following fall, which was reduced by closed means and remained stable. One of the two patients with heterotopic ossification had restricted movement of hip but not restricting the activities of daily living. No failures of acetabular component were seen in the study.
conclusionThe current study showed that the modern porous metal cup provides sufficient primary stability and appear suitable for primary THA in acute acetabular fractures at mid-term follow-up: (i) In selected fractures, acute THA can be extended to young adult patients as well. (ii) Modern porous metal cup may provide sufficient stability with or without additional fixation required.
