Soft tissue interpositional arthroplasty as a treatment of proximal interphalangeal joint arthritis in resource-limited health care facility: A case report.

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
introductionTreatment of choice for posttraumatic arthritis in proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints has remained a controversial subject. There is a lack of consensus regarding the optimal approach and treatment options for PIP joint arthritis. In this study, we report our experience in management of PIP joint arthritis using soft-tissue interpositional arthroplasty. CASE PRESENTATION: A 12-year-old female, right-handed, complains of stiffness on the left ring finger. There was a flexion deformity accompanied by limitation on both active and passive flexion-extension range of motion (ROM) of the PIP joint. Soft tissue interpositional arthroplasty was then performed using middle phalanx periosteum as interpositional material. Postoperative follow-up showed improvement in both active and passive ROM of PIP joint, improvement in joint function, and a good pain relief. Overall, the patient was satisfied with the outcomes of the procedure. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: Arthrodesis, implant arthroplasty, and interpositional arthroplasty are the treatments of choice for stiff fingers that are caused by bone problems. In this study, we report a case of PIP joint arthritis treated with interpositional arthroplasty. It was able to provide ROM improvement and good functional results. Periosteum is used as an interposition material because of its in-situ nature thereby reducing donor site related morbidity and postoperative complications. In addition, the use of the periosteum makes this procedure relatively inexpensive and makes it a suitable treatment of choice in limited resources areas.
conclusionSoft tissue interpositional arthroplasty shows promising results as a treatment option for arthritis of PIP joint, especially in limited resource areas.
