3D virtual surgical planning of fractures in hip arthrodesis: a systematic review, case series and recommendations for treatment.

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
purposeFractures through an arthrodesed hip are rare and challenging. The aim of the study is (1) to explore whether 3D-planned percutaneous screw fixation of fractures in hip arthrodesis is a viable minimally invasive surgical option for geriatric patients and (2) to standardize surgical treatment by providing a comprehensive overview of the literature and propose a treatment algorithm.
methodsWe presented a case series of patients with an acute fracture in a previous hip arthrodesis treated in a level 1 trauma centre in 2024. Furthermore, we conducted a systematic review on fractures in hip arthrodesis from 1970 to 2023.
resultsWe presented three cases treated for a fracture in an arthrodesed hip. Two patients with a proximal/medial fracture to the acetabulum were operated with 3D-planned percutaneous cannulated screws, and one patient with an intertrochanteric fracture was operated with a DHS system. The systematic review resulted in an overview of 16 case series on fractures in hip arthrodesis treated with various surgical techniques, each with its pros and cons; cannulated screws, DHS system, intramedullary nailing and plate osteosynthesis.
conclusionAcute fractures in arthrodesed hips in fragile geriatric patients can be treated minimally invasively with 3D-planned percutaneous screw fixation. This technique is most suitable for femoral neck fracture types. Alternative surgical techniques include DHS, intramedullary nailing, plate osteosynthesis or conversion to total hip arthroplasty, for which a treatment algorithm is provided.
