Does skyline view prevent extensor tendon pathologies during volar plating of distal radius? An ultrasonographic evaluation.

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 compare extensor tendon complications of volar plating in distal radius fractures between skyline and lateral views by using postoperative ultrasonography (USG). PATIENTS AND
methodsBetween January 2019 and February 2020, a total of 82 distal radius fractures of 79 patients (39 males, 43 females; median age: 56±12.9 years; range, 23 to 79 years) who were operated with distal four-hole plates and had a follow-up period of at least three months were retrospectively analyzed. During distal radius locking plating, standard lateral fluoroscopic view was used in 36 distal radius fractures and skyline view in addition to lateral view was used in 46 cases. A median of five months later, the protruding screws and extensor compartments were evaluated with USG. The number of screws with dorsal penetration, extent of penetration, and extensor tendon complications were compared between skyline and lateral view groups.
resultsIn the skyline view group, the rate of dorsal screw penetration was significantly lower than that of the lateral view group (7.3% vs. 14.7%, respectively; p<0.05). Additionally, the rate of extensor tenosynovitis was lower in the skyline view group than in the lateral view group (15% vs. 39%, respectively; p<0.05). No significant difference was seen in the extent of penetration between the groups (1.4 vs. 1.65 mm, respectively; p=0.089). The second compartment had the highest risk for dorsal screw penetration. One case of tendon rupture in the third compartment occurred in the lateral view group.
conclusionThe skyline view seems to be an effective method to prevent extensor tendon complications caused by protruding screws.
