Long-term results of short stem total hip arthroplasty in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head.
Article in Archives of orthopaedic and trauma surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
introductionShort stem total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an alternative to conventional stem, designed to facilitate minimal-invasive surgery, physiological loading and preserve bone stock. However, there is insufficient evidence of the long-term outcomes in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). This study aims to analyze the clinical and radiographic results with a minimum follow-up of 10 years. Furthermore, the survival rate of the short stem was calculated. MATERIALS AND
methodsThere were 81 patients (101 hips) with the mean age of 45 years (range, 21 to 68) in this study. The Harris Hip Scores (HHS) and Forgotten Joint Scores (FJS) were recorded to evaluate the clinical results. The appearance of osteointegration and radiolucent line were reviewed. The mean follow-up period was 129.3 months (range, 120-154).
resultsAt the latest follow-up, the mean HHS and FJS were 96.9 ± 5.7 (range, 69-100) and 95 ± 7 (range, 75-100) points respectively. The radiographic changes around the stem showed osteointegration mainly in the proximal part, zones 1 (94.1%), 2 (84.2%), 6 (99%) and 7 (92.1%). One stem underwent revision due to periprosthetic fracture, using conventional stem with plate and screws. Survivorship of the stem with the endpoint for any reason was 99.01% (95% confidence interval [CI], 93.18-99.86%) and for aseptic loosening was 100% at 10 years.
conclusionShort stem showed promising long-term clinical outcomes in patients with ONFH. The radiographic results demonstrated physiological proximal load transfer.
