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.

Abstract

objectiveThe percutaneous IS screws and the minimally invasive percutaneous plate are the most popular internal methods for Zone II unstable sacral fractures. However, the choice of fixation remains controversial for orthopaedic surgeons. The purpose of study was to evaluate and compare the clinical results of percutaneous iliosacral (IS) screw fixation under three-dimensional (3D) navigation and minimally invasive percutaneous plate fixation in the treatment of Zone II unstable sacral fractures.

methodsA retrospective study was performed, including 64 patients with Zone II unstable sacral fractures who underwent percutaneous IS screw fixation under 3D navigation (navigation group) and minimally invasive percutaneous plate fixation (plate group) from January 2011 and March 2021 in our department. The age, gender, fracture type, mechanism of injury, injury severity score (ISS), time from admission to operation, operative time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, incision length, follow-up time, time to clinical healing, and complications were recorded and analyzed. Matta standard was used to assess fracture reduction outcomes. The Majeed function system assessed functional outcomes at the last follow-up.

resultsThe average follow-up time was (14.42 ± 1.57) months in the navigation group and (14.79 ± 1.37) months in the plate group. No statistical difference between the two groups in age, gender, fracture type, mechanism of injury, ISS, time from admission to operation, and time to clinical healing. However, significant differences were detected in operative time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, and incision length (p < 0.001). According to Matta standard at 2 days postoperatively, the excellent and good rate was 91.42% in the navigation group, and it was 93.10% in the plate group. There was no significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.961). According to Majeed function system at the follow-up, the excellent and good rate was 97.14% in the navigation group, and 93.10% in the plate group. The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (p = 0.748). There were no neurovascular injuries associated with this procedure. The incidence of complications was 44.82% (13/29) in the plate group, while 14.28% (5/35) in the navigation group (p = 0.007).

conclusionThis study found that compared with minimally invasive percutaneous plate fixation, percutaneous IS screw fixation under 3D navigation is a suitable option for the treatment of Zone II unstable sacral fractures. This approach is characterized by its shorter operation time, less surgical trauma, less bleeding, less hospital time, and fewer complications.
