Distal Femoral Replacement After Distal Femur Periprosthetic Fracture: 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
Distal femoral periprosthetic fractures present a complex challenge, particularly in elderly patients with comorbidities and poor bone quality. We report a case of a 62-year-old Saudi female with morbid obesity and a history of bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA) who sustained a distal femoral fracture after minor trauma. Due to limited bone stock and fracture proximity to the prosthesis, internal fixation was ruled out. The patient underwent successful revision TKA with distal femoral replacement (DFR). Postoperative recovery was good, and she was discharged on day 4 with a knee range of motion of 0-90°. This case underscores the viability of DFR as a limb-salvaging option, offering immediate weight-bearing and early mobilization.
