Modified Tension Band Wiring Technique for Patella Fractures: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Patellar fractures are common injuries that compromise the extensor mechanism of the knee. Tension band wiring (TBW) is a widely accepted surgical technique for simple mid-pole fractures, but is associated with complications like wire migration and breakage. This case report presents a modified TBW technique designed to improve biomechanical stability and reduce complications. A 51-year-old female patient presented with right knee pain and swelling following a fall. Radiographs confirmed a transverse patella fracture. Surgical fixation was performed using a modified TBW technique involving triple-bundle wire stitching to enhance stability and prevent migration. Postoperative rehabilitation included early mobilization with continuous passive motion and gradual weight-bearing. Follow-up at three months demonstrated fracture union and excellent knee function without complications. The modified TBW technique demonstrated stability and allowed early functional recovery without implant-related complications. This technique may be considered for broader clinical application.
