Assessment of spinopelvic relationship among Turkish orthopedic surgeons in total joint replacement: a survey.

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
Objective: This study aims to investigate the preferences of orthopedics and traumatology specialists in evaluating the spinopelvic relationship in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) in Türkiye. Methods: Members of the Turkish Orthopedics and Traumatology Association (n=2485) were invited to fill out the questionnaire. The survey was created using Google Forms and distributed to participants via WhatsApp and Gmail by sharing the link. A total of 205 orthopedic surgeons responded and completed the questionnaire. The survey included 13 questions about the duration of their experience, the number of THA and spinal instrumentation procedures they performed, the dislocation rates they encountered after surgery, and the radiological assessments they performed for the spinopelvic relationship. Results: Sixty-three percent of the participants evaluated spinopelvic parameters in patients undergoing THA. Forty-seven percent of surgeons state that in their daily practice, they determine the angle of the acetabular component according to whether the spinal deformity is rigid, flexible, balanced, or unstable. While 88% of the participants stated the rate of encountering dislocation after primary THA as less than 2%, 12% of the participants stated it as more than 2%. It was observed that 40% of the surgeons with a prosthetic dislocation rate of more than 2% evaluated the spinopelvic relationship, while 67% of the surgeons with a dislocation rate of less than 2% evaluated the spinopelvic relationship. Conclusion: Approximately half of the orthopedic surgeons in Türkiye plan component placement in primary THA cases by considering the spinopelvic relationship. In order to increase awareness about the spinopelvic relationship, it would be beneficial to give more space to this subject in training programs and conferences. Level of Evidence: N/A.
