Total knee replacement in a dog with an articular epiphyseal medial condylar fracture of the distal femur, a case report.
Article in Veterinary research communications, 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
The objective of this study was to describe outcome in a dog with a failed atypical articular medial femoral condyle fracture salvaged with total knee replacement. We present a retrospective case study of a 2-year-old male neutered Whippet dog. An articular medial condylar fracture was repaired primarily with extraarticular positional cortical screws. Construct failure was diagnosed 16 days after surgery when the dog was represented with lameness and radiographs confirmed fragment displacement. Total knee replacement was used for surgical salvage. Long-term follow up with the owner and patient reveal satisfactory outcomes with no clinically important implant-related morbidity. In contrast to typical fractures of the medial femoral condyle that involve both epiphyseal and metaphyseal bone, stable fixation of atypical fractures of the articular weight-bearing epiphyseal region of the condyle distal to the fabella is difficult to achieve. Total knee replacement is a suitable treatment option for failed articular medial femoral condylar fracture in dogs.
