Role of microsurgical techniques combined with Ilizarov techniques in limb salvage and functional reconstruction of thermal‑crush injuries of the hand: A case report.

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
The Ilizarov technology was proposed by Former Soviet orthopedic physician Ilizarov. It is a medical method to reconstruct missing tissues. Ilizarov technology combined with soft tissue stretching technology is of great significance in the treatment of common orthopedic problems like bone defects, finger absence, joint contracture and joint stiffness following thermal-crush injuries of the hand. In the present study a 25-year-old male patient sought for limb salvage treatment 1 month after sustaining thermal-crush injuries of the right hand and forearm. The patient had been treated by another hospital with multiple procedures of debridement, and recommended for forearm amputation. The patient was diagnosed with: i) Postoperative infection of thermal-crush injuries of the right hand and right forearm; ii) comminuted open fractures of the proximal and distal phalanges of the right thumb; iii) osteomyelitis; iv) palm skin defects with exposed tendons; and v) skin defects of the opisthenar and the forearm. After a series of treatments including debridement, removal of necrotic tissue, tissue transplantation, skin pedicle, bone lengthening, external shaping, tissue release, joint fusion, traction and rehabilitation exercises, the patient recovered some hand function. Overall, thermal-crush injuries of the hand are severe, complicated combined injuries composed of both heat burn and compression injury and their treatment is challenging. Overall, microsurgery combined with Ilizarov technology can effectively reconstruct the function of complex thermal-crush injuries of the hand.
