Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis with Indirect Femoral Fixation Using an Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Suspensory Device.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
backgroundThe lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) procedure associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction can be considered in selected patients to diminish the risk of persistent rotatory instability and achieve a protective effect on the graft. Several techniques have been described in the literature to treat rotatory instability. Usually, a strip of the iliotibial band (ITB) is harvested from its middle while leaving the distal insertion, then passed underneath the lateral collateral ligament and fixed on the lateral aspect of the distal femur with various fixation methods such as staples, screws, anchors or extracortical suspensory devices. Despite their effectiveness, these fixation methods may be associated with complications such as lateral pain, over-constraint and tunnel convergence.
methodsThis study presents a detailed surgical description of a new technique to perform an LET during ACL reconstruction with any type of graft fixing the ITB strip with the sutures of the ACL femoral button, comparing its pros and cons in relation to similar techniques found in the literature.
conclusionsThis technique represents a reproducible, easy to learn and inexpensive solution to perform a lateral extra-articular tenodesis associated with an ACL reconstruction using the high-resistance sutures of the femoral button.
