Health-related quality of life (EQ-5D) after revision arthroplasty following periprosthetic femoral fractures Vancouver B2 and B3 in geriatric trauma patients.
Article in Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
introductionThe aim of this study was to determine the outcome parameters of revision arthroplasties for periprosthetic femoral fractures (PPFF) with a particular attention to quality of life (QoL) and mobility. MATERIALS AND
methodsRetrospective single-center study of PPFF with loose implants that underwent revision arthroplasty. Depending on individual patient characteristics, either an uncemented or cemented revision stem was chosen. Data collection included demographics, complications, clinical course and outcome parameters. Follow-up took place at least one year postoperatively.
resultsBetween 2008 and 2016, 43 patients could be included. Most patients (63%) were able to walk independently or with a walking aid after one year and amongst the surveyed patients 77% were able to reside at home. Concerning the QoL assessment, a high index of 0.8 ± 0.1 has been reached after one year. Mortality pointed out to be 9% after one year and 28% in general.
conclusionThe treatment of PPFF remains challenging. Although complication rates and mortality are high in this frail collective of geriatric patients, revision arthroplasty leads to good postoperative results regarding mobility and quality of life.
