Modified osteodesis procedure using the mini TightRope system for the correction of hallux valgus with full weight-bearing protocol: our experience with an historical report.
Article in Musculoskeletal surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundHallux valgus is a common pathology in the orthopedic daily practice. More than 100 techniques of surgical correction are currently described in the literature, mostly focused on osteotomies. Procedures based on soft tissues balancing are actually less described. MATERIALS AND
methodsBetween May and October 2019, 20 patients, 16 females and 4 males, underwent surgery using mini TightRope® system. All were addressed to preoperative radiological and clinical assessment through the AOFAS-hallux scale and radiographs. Follow-up was performed postoperatively with weight-bearing radiographs and AOFAS-hallux score at 5 weeks, 3 months and 6 months. All patients were postoperatively allowed to immediately full weight-bear wearing a stiff sole orthopedic shoe (Donjoy, Podalux™).
resultsThe results showed an improvement in the functional score (average AOFAS from 53.5 to 87 at 6 months) and a decrease in IMA and HVA in the direct postoperative with 9.2° and 28.3°, respectively. The reductions were maintained through 6 months and compared with the preoperative condition a reduction of 6.0° and 7.3°, respectively, were observed.
conclusionsCorrection of hallux valgus with the modified osteodesis procedure with the mini TightRope system with Full Weight-Bearing can be considered effective, safe and reliable.
