Posterior Aspect Fracture of Tibia after Open Wedge Distal Tuberosity Osteotomy: 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
Introduction: Open wedge distal tuberosity osteotomy (OWDTO) was the surgical treatment in which tibial tuberosity was attached proximal fragment to avoid an increase in patellofemoral joint pressure. The current paper reported a case of post-operative posterior aspect fracture of the tibia as a rare complication after OWDTO. Case Report: A 52-year-old Asian man had been performing OWDTO for medial knee osteoarthritis. The patient was injured by the tibial posterior aspect fracture due to minor trauma 2 months after surgery. Bone union was completed by transient unloading and ultrasound therapy, but the anteroposterior screw remained in the bone due to screw breakage during removal. Conclusion: Post-operative posterior aspect fracture of the tibia is a complication specific to OWDTO. It is difficult to detect the fracture on X-ray; therefore, the evaluation with computed tomography is recommended. It is possible that removal of the anteroposterior screw has become difficult in the event that this fracture occurs.
