Surgical options for improving the ipsilateral femoral neck, shaft, and distal femoral fracture: A case report and literature review.

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
introduction and importanceIpsilateral proximal, shaft, and distal femur fractures are extremely uncommon. It might be challenging and contentious to treat ipsilateral multi-level femur fractures. There are still unanswered questions regarding the order of fracture types that should be repaired first and the type of implant that should be used. CASE PRESENTATION: A twenty-nine-year-old male patient was assessed at the emergency department after a motorcycle accident. The patient had a clearly deformed left lower extremity and was complaining of pain in the left thigh. Preoperative radiographs revealed ipsilateral multi-level femur fracture on the left thigh involved basicervical fracture of femur (AO/OTA 31-B3) with transverse shaft fracture of femur (AO/OTA 32-A3) and extra articular supracondylar femur fracture (AO/OTA 33-A2). CLINICAL DISCUSSION: First, we performed proximal femur nail antirotation in order to stabilize the fracture of the femur neck and reduce the incidence of nonunion and avascular necrosis of the femoral head in young adults. The next step to fix the shaft and distal femur fracture was to perform the distal femur locking plate. The EQ5D and Harris Hip Score questionnaires showed improvement after implementing these procedures.
conclusionIpsilateral multi-level femur fractures have challenges and controversies in their management. In this situation, proximal femur nail antirotation and distal femur locking plates are viable options due to the condition of the injury and the higher risk of negative effects. After all fractures have been fixed, it is important to closely monitor the hip and knee joints to avoid stiffness or contracture.
