Patient-specific high tibial osteotomy for varus malalignment: 3D-printed plating technique and review of the literature.
Review in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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
purposeWe report our experience with a 3D patient-specific instrument (PSI) in an opening-wedge tibial osteotomy for the correction of varus malalignment in a patient with prior anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Previous studies have not reported the use of 3D PSI in patients with prior knee surgeries.
methodsA pre-operative CT was used to create a 3D model of the lower extremity using Bodycad Imager. The pre-operative medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA), lateral distal femoral ankle, hip-knee-ankle (HKA), and tibial slope were calculated. The Bodycad Osteotomy software package was used to create a simulated osteotomy and correction. The resulting 3D patient-specific surgical guide and plate were used to conduct the high tibial osteotomy. Radiographic measurements and range of motion were evaluated at 6-week follow-up.
resultsThe arthroscopy and open portions of the procedure were performed in 65 min, with only three fluoroscopy shots taken intraoperatively. At 6-week follow-up, the patient had 125° of flexion and minimal pain. The angular correction of the bone was achieved within 1.9° (planned MPTA 91.9° vs. actual 90°); the HKA angle was achieved with an error of 0.7° (planned 2.4° vs. actual 1.7°); and there was no change in the posterior tibial slope (planned 13.5° vs 13.8° actual).
conclusionThree-dimensional PSI can be successfully used for the accurate and efficient correction of varus malalignment while accommodating pre-existing hardware, with good short-term clinical outcomes.
