Impact of pathological fractures on kinesiophobia and anxiety in patients with benign and benign-aggressive lower extremity bone tumors.

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
objectivesThis study aims to evaluate kinesiophobia and anxiety levels in patients with benign and benign-aggressive bone tumors located in the lower extremities. PATIENTS AND
methodsBetween January 2022 and June 2024, a total of 54 patients (23 males, 31 females; mean age: 35.2±14.5 years; range, 15 to 67 years) who underwent surgery for benign and benign-aggressive bone tumors in the lower extremities were retrospectively analyzed. Of the patients, 16 developed pathological fractures and 38 did not. Kinesiophobia was assessed using the Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS), and anxiety levels were measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I and STAI-II).
resultsPathological fractures occurred in 29.6% of cases. The most common tumor types were enchondroma (44.4%), giant cell tumor (18.5%), and aneurysmal bone cyst (11.2%). Patients with pathological fractures had significantly higher TKS, STAI-I, and STAI-II scores than those without fractures (p<0.001, p=0.034, and p<0.001, respectively).
conclusionIn benign and benign-aggressive musculoskeletal lesions of the lower extremity, implementing prophylactic surgical intervention by predicting fracture risk reduces patients' levels of kinesiophobia and anxiety. Preventing pathological fractures in weight-bearing long bones allows for early mobilization, prevents fracture-related complications, and helps to preserve psychological well-being.
