Long-term surgical outcomes of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) in patients with Hoffa-like tibial plateau fractures: a clinical study and analysis.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThe Hoffa-like tibial plateau fracture is a rare intra-articular fracture and few studies have investigated its curative effect after treatment. We aimed to focus on patients with Hoffa-like tibial plateau fractures based on a large sample population and to evaluate their long-term surgical outcomes treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF).
methodBetween August 2017 and September 2020, a period in which 3256 tibial plateau fractures were treated in five trauma centres. Among them, patients with Hoffa-like tibial plateau fractures who treated with ORIF were retrospectively reviewed. Baseline characteristics, operative information, imaging findings, functional scores and any complications were accurately recorded. Each patient was followed for at least three years.
resultsHoffa-like tibial plateau fractures account for approximately 0.9% (29/3256) of all tibial plateau fractures, including 19 males and ten females with a mean age of 45.8 years. After surgery, all patients obtained anatomical reduction of the fractures and none experienced reduction loss. The final Hospital for Special Surgery score (HSS) was improved compared to one year postoperatively (92.76 ± 3.52 versus 89.03 ± 3.81, P < 0.01). No significant differences (P > 0.05) were found in VAS pain score, Rasmussen score, tibial plateau angle (TPA), and posterior slope angle (PSA) between one year and final follow-up. No serious postoperative complications occurred during the treatment and follow-up.
conclusionLong-term follow-up results showed that patients with Hoffa-like tibial plateau fractures can achieve stable fracture fixation, low postoperative complications, excellent radiographic findings and good functional recovery with ORIF.
