Factors Associated With Complications in 176 Crowe IV Hips Treated With Total Hip Arthroplasty.
Article in Orthopaedic surgery, 2025. 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
objectiveTotal hip arthroplasty (THA) in Crowe IV hip was a challenge for surgeons, along with some complications. Currently, most evaluations focused on the surgical techniques and radiographs, which were indirectly measured parameters and easily affected by the operators. Objective factors were not considered. This study aimed to investigate objective factors to predict the complications.
methodsWe retrospectively reviewed a series of Crowe IV patients who received THA between July 2010 and December 2019 in our hospital. Demographics and surgical parameters were collected: gender, age, height, weight, sides of preoperative knee valgus, limb length discrepancy, hip surgical history, osteotomy length, acetabular prosthesis position, acetabular prosthesis sizes, femoral prosthesis, femoral head sizes, femoral prosthesis distal sizes, and acetabular liner. The complications periprosthetic fractures, periprosthetic infection, polyethylene lining wear, postoperative dislocation, limited flexion, limp, knee valgus, knee pain, thigh pain (distal femoral prosthesis), and hip abnormal noise were recorded. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were used to identify the predictors of complications.
resultsA total of 136 Crowe IV patients (176 hips) were included in this study. The mean follow-up time was 8.87 ± 2.60 (5-14) years. The mean limb length discrepancy was 2.73 ± 2.05 cm. Thirty-two hips had a surgical history. One hundred and three hips underwent intraoperative osteotomy, and the mean osteotomy length was 3.42 ± 1.22 (1-7) cm. Complications occurred in 45% (79/176) Crowe IV hips. The height (odds ratio [OR]: 0.00; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.00-0.26), and preoperative left knee valgus (OR: 0.37; 95% CI: 0.16-0.88) were identified as independent significant factors for complications in Crowe IV hips. A residual limp was observed in 34.09%, knee valgus was 23.3%, hip abnormal noise was 7.39%, knee pain was 1.7%, thigh pain (distal femoral prosthesis) was 1.14%, and limited flexion was 0.57%. The incidence of polyethylene lining wear was 6.3%, periprosthetic fractures was 1.7%, postoperative dislocation was 1.14%, and periprosthetic infection was 0.57%.
conclusionOur model provided a framework to guide decision-making in Crowe IV hips for surgeons. A tall Crowe IV patient with preoperative left knee valgus was found to have a lower rate of complications.
