Talus with Trimalleolar Fracture: A Three-planar Injury of Ankle Joint Complex: A Unique Case Report.

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: Malleolar fractures are common, often bimalleolar/trimalleolar. Talus fractures are rare, with risks like avascular necrosis (AVN). Unique challenges arise, especially in combined injuries, sometimes needing ankle arthrodesis. Case Report: An 18-year-old male laborer presented with a history of fall from height and sustained injury over the right ankle. Imaging showed a talar body fracture with a trimalleolar fracture on the same ankle. After the subsidence of swelling at 9 days, the patient underwent open reduction and internal fixation using screws and plates for malleolar fracture and Herbert screw for talus fracture. At 1-year follow-up, the patient had adequate range of motion of the ankle which was painless without any signs of AVN. The patient underwent ankle arthrodesis at 5 years old as he developed severe pain in the joint. After 1 year of arthrodesis, the patient has pain-free motion of the ankle joint. Conclusion: Such fractures are rare with a unique mechanism of injury. There are chances of arthritis and instability owing to the variable cartilage damage and occult ligament injury. Stress radiographs after fracture union can help predict ankle instability. Internal fixation is the method of treatment in the acute setting, though the chances of late arthritis are high.
