Periprosthetic and peri-implant femoral fractures and timeliness to surgery: A retrospective matched cohort study.

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
Purpose: Periprosthetic (PPFF) and peri-implant femoral fractures (PIFFs) are troublesome complications of prosthetic and implant surgery, the prior being described to have a greater delay to surgery when compared with standard hip fractures. The implications of PPFF delay being disputed in the current literature and those of PIFF have not been investigated. The aim of this study was to determine whether the time from radiological examination to surgery differs between hip fractures and PPFF/PIFF, and the possible consequences of delay and group affiliation on morbidity, mortality, and readmissions. Methods: One hundred and thirty-six participants were admitted to Danderyd hospital during 2020, cases exposed to PPFF or PIFF ( Results: Linear regression showed that time to surgery differed in case and control cohorts by a mean of 24.8 h, Conclusion: This study reveals a significant delay in surgery for PPFFs and PIFFs compared with standard hip fractures, leading to higher adverse event rates. While mortality and readmissions did not differ significantly, the delay underscores the need for timely intervention in these complex cases. Further research is needed to address these challenges and improve patient outcomes. Level of Evidence: III.
