Tibial-based Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction Following Proximal Fibula Resection Restores Knee Stability: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2025. 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
Introduction: Fibular- and tibiofibular-based reconstructions are the gold standard treatment for posterolateral corner (PLC) injuries of the knee. This is the first report describing a wholly tibial-based PLC reconstruction. Case Report: A 50-year-old female presented with knee instability following proximal fibular resection for a benign tumor, associated with chronic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency from a previous injury. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed fibular collateral ligament (FCL) and distal biceps femoris complete detachment. ACL reconstruction was combined with revision PLC reconstruction, placing the distal grafts, due to lack of fibula, both into the tibia. At 24-month follow-up, the patient reported excellent clinical outcomes. Conclusion: In cases related to proximal fibula deficiency from resection or congenital causes, a wholly tibial-based PLC reconstruction can effectively restore stability.
