Management of traumatic degloving injury of the dorsal aspect of the midfoot and ankle: A case report.
Article in Trauma case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Traumatic degloving injuries of the foot and ankle are severe, relatively rare lesions often resulting from high-energy mechanisms such as ejections in road traffic accidents. These injuries present significant challenges in both immediate management and long-term functional and aesthetic reconstruction. The involvement of severe soft tissue damage, neurovascular compromise, and potential joint involvement increases the risk of complications that can negatively impact clinical outcomes and patient quality of life. This case report details the management of a 32-year-old male who sustained extensive degloving injuries to the left foot and ankle following a motor vehicle ejection. Initial assessment revealed soft tissue damage, mediotarsal dislocation, and bone loss. Despite considering amputation due to the severity of the injury, a limb-salvage approach was chosen. Emergency surgical intervention included wound debridement, bone stabilization with Kirschner wires, and a rotational flap for soft tissue coverage. Postoperative complications included necrosis, which required negative pressure wound therapy and skin grafting. Two years after the accident, the injury site had fully healed, with the patient achieving satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes. The patient was able to walk independently for two kilometers with minimal discomfort and had an AOFAS Midfoot Score of 72/100. This case underscores the importance of early multidisciplinary management, careful therapeutic decision-making, and comprehensive long-term follow-up to optimize recovery in complex traumatic foot and ankle injuries.
