Anthropometry of the medial tibial plateau in the Chinese population: the morphometric analysis and adaptability with Oxford Phase III tibial components.

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 objective of this study was to measure resected surfaces of the medial tibial plateau and to provide accurate anatomical parameters for the Chinese population and improve the unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) component design in the future.
methodsThis study measured different dimensions of the medial tibial plateau on MRIs of 1000 consecutive healthy Chinese people without knee deformity. The anteroposterior (AP) dimension and mediolateral dimensions at defined points (recorded as WA, WB, WC) of the medial tibial plateau were measured. The aspect ratio (WB/AP, recorded as AR) was also recorded. The measured results were grouped to compare with the dimensions of the Oxford Phase III tibial component. An independent t test was used to compare the differences between the males and females.
resultsThe Oxford Phase III tibial component showed mediolateral overhang or undersize for the whole range of measured anteroposterior dimensions of the resected medial tibial plateau. A total of 71.3% patients' resected surface did not match the Oxford Phase III tibial component well. The study also found a decrease in the aspect ratio (WB/AP) with an increase in the AP dimension in the medial tibial plateau.
conclusionsThere is a difference between the morphology of the Chinese knee joint and the configuration of the Oxford Phase III tibial components. The results of this study provided accurate anatomical parameters for Chinese and guidelines for designing UKA components suitable for the Chinese population. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Retrospective comparative study, Level III.
