A finite element analysis of relationship between fracture, implant and tibial tunnel.

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
The purpose of this article was to use finite element analysis (FEA) to study the relationship of tibial tunnel (TT) with fracture pattern and implants. A computed tomography scan of full-length tibia and fibula was obtained. Models were built after three-dimensional reconstruction. The corresponding plates and screws were constructed and assembled together with fracture models. FEA was performed and contourplots were output. The Von Mises stresses of nodes and displacements of elements were extracted. Student's t test was used to compare the values of Von Mises stresses and displacements between corresponding models. Differences in Von Mises stresses and displacements of fragments and implants between models with and without TT were nearly all statistically significant. However, the displacements of fragments and implants for all models were < 2 mm. TT in fracture models had larger Von Mises stresses than TT in intact tibial model. However, displacements of TT in fracture models showed similar or even smaller results to those in intact tibial model. Although almost all the tested parameters were statistically significant, differences were small and values were all below the clinical threshold. This study could promote open reduction and internal fixation with one-stage reconstruction for treatment of tibial plateau fractures associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures.
