3D printed patient specific customised surgical jig for reverse shoulder arthroplasty, a cost effective and accurate solution.
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
introductionThe reverse shoulder arthroplasty is a common orthopaedic procedure, where placement of the initial guiding wire is paramount to the implant instrumentation and position. To improve the position of the guiding wire, navigation and patient specific instrumentation have been used. These are however expensive and lengthy with many logistical issues. MATERIAL AND
methodsWe utilised in house 3D printing to create a surgical guide to help with positioning of the central guiding wire. Pre and post op CT scans were utilised to determine positioning of the central screw.
resultsPosition of the screw tip was a mean of 3.3 mm away from the central point of the thickest portion of bone in the scapula with good bony purchase. There were no complications reported. DISCUSSION: We report our experience in creation of the 3D printed surgical jig and the pearls of its creation, detailing from CT scan image acquisition to creation of surgical guide to intraoperative usage. 3D printing is a cost effective and accurate solution for the positioning of orthopaedic instrumentation. This can be easily applied to other operations in our institution, even with a low start up cost.
