Advantages of digital twin technology in orthopedic trauma Surgery - Exploring different clinical use cases.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 papers.
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
Digital twin technology offers significant benefits for addressing fracture non-unions in orthopedic trauma surgery, particularly in cases requiring revision surgery. In this study, we developed a clinically applicable digital twin workflow that integrates patient-specific imaging, motion capture, musculoskeletal modeling, and finite element simulation. We applied this workflow to five real patient cases involving different anatomical sites and treatment strategies, including implant modification, augmentative fixation, and corrective osteotomy. Each case was virtually reconstructed to evaluate mechanical conditions before and after revision surgery. The results demonstrated that digital twins can predict improvements in implant stress distribution and fracture strain states, offering valuable insights for optimizing surgical decisions. This work highlights the feasibility of digital twins and their clinical value in supporting individualized revision strategies, laying the foundation for their broader use in trauma care. .
