Tibial Condylar Valgus Osteotomy Combined With Medial Open-Wedge Distal Tuberosity Tibial Osteotomy.

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
Severe varus deformity in osteoarthritic knees is attributed not only to bony deformity but also to intra-articular deformity as a result of medial joint space narrowing with lateral joint space widening (increased joint line convergence angle). In such knees, correction of bony deformity by high tibial osteotomy (HTO) alone may not be capable of restoring physiological joint geometry and biomechanics. Tibial condylar valgus osteotomy (TCVO), an L-shaped osteotomy in the medial tibial condyle, has been proposed to improve articular stability and congruity by elevating the medial tibial joint line and addressing the articular component of the deformity; however, its surgical efficacy for correction of the valgus deformity is limited. Therefore a procedure combining HTO and TCVO can be a reasonable option to achieve restoration of the knee joint physiology in such situations. In our current practice, medial open-wedge distal tuberosity tibial osteotomy (MOW-DTO) has been the procedure of primary option among the HTO procedures to avoid patellofemoral overload which could be an inherent problem in medial open-wedge HTO. In this article, the surgical rationale and the combined procedure of TCVO and MOW-DTO are described.
