Gradual on top-of-acute correction of neglected adolescent tibia vara by percutaneous tibial osteotomy and two-ring Ilizarov frame.

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
objectivesThis study aims to assess the effect of gradual correction after acute translation of the tibia in tibia vara using a two-ring Ilizarov frame on the correction of mechanical axis deviation (MAD), union time, and the rate of complications. PATIENTS AND
methodsBetween September 2018 and January 2021, a total of 30 patients (25 males, 5 females; mean age: 20±5 years; range, 15 to 25 years) with adolescent tibia vara were included. The patients had a transverse fibular ostectomy and percutaneous tibial osteotomy below the level of the tibial tuberosity. Acute correction of the rotation deformity combined with acute translation was done. A two-ring Ilizarov frame with a medial distractor and two lateral hinges were used to fix the osteotomy and the coronal plane deformity was gradually corrected.
resultsThe mean follow-up was 24±4 months. All patients had improvement in the mechanical medial proximal tibial angle (mMPTA) and MAD postoperatively. There was an improvement in the Hospital for Special Surgery knee score at one year postoperatively. No neurovascular complications or union complications were observed.
conclusionAcute translation followed by gradual angulation of the proximal tibia in cases with adolescent tibia vara yields better correction of the mechanical axis with good functional and radiological outcomes.
