A Novel Technique for Femoral Stem Extraction Through the Direct Anterior Approach: The Medial Episiotomy With Anterior Transfemoral Osteotomy.

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
This report describes a medial calcar episiotomy with partial anterior transfemoral osteotomy of the proximal femur to aid in removal of a femoral component in setting of revision total hip arthroplasty through a direct anterior approach. Revision total hip arthroplasty is challenging, labor-intensive, and carries high complication rates. Previously described techniques such as extended trochanteric osteotomies can be utilized to facilitate removal of fixed femoral stems. The technique herein described was performed in an effort to avoid the morbidity of additional dissection and risk of nonunion associated with complete osteotomy of the trochanteric region. We present a novel technique to aid in the removal of a fixed femoral stem in the setting of revision total hip arthroplasty through an anterior approach. This technique has not previously been described specifically in the literature and was performed safely and effectively for this patient. A complication-free outcome with osteotomy union was achieved on a final follow-up of 13 months.
