Use of soft tissue repair as a hip dislocation preventive strategy following a total hip arthroplasty by posterior and posterolateral approach in patients with osteoarthritis: a systematic scoping review.

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
introductionTotal hip arthroplasty (THA) is a procedure primarily performed for hip osteoarthritis. Dislocation rates after primary THA range from 0.7 to 2%, remaining a key concern. Variability in surgical approaches, especially regarding posterior soft tissue repair, underscores the need for evidence specific to osteoarthritis. This review evaluates the impact of soft tissue repair on reducing dislocation rates in THA via posterior and posterolateral approach.
methodsAn exploratory systematic review was conducted to evaluate the effect of soft tissue repair on dislocation rates following THA for osteoarthritis. Studies in English and Spanish were included, focusing on posterior approach repairs. Searches were done in PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar. Three reviewers independently assessed study quality and extracted relevant data, using tools like APPRAISE-AI and PROBAST.
resultsOut of 478 initially identified publications, 13 studies met the inclusion criteria. The studies focused on the impact of soft tissue management on hip dislocation following THA in patients with osteoarthritis. Results consistently showed that preserving or repairing the external rotator muscles reduced dislocation rates, with tendon-to-bone repair proving most effective among the existing techniques for soft tissue and external rotator repair.
conclusionSoft tissue repair using the tendon-to-bone technique enhances hip stability and reduces the risk of dislocation in total hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis. Preventive strategies should be tailored to individual risk factors, as personalized approaches are essential for optimizing outcomes in osteoarthritis patients with a high comorbidity burden.
