Orthoplastic Approach to Extremity Reconstruction: A Paradigm Shift in Integrated Limb Salvage.
Review in Seminars in plastic 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
The orthoplastic approach to extremity reconstruction represents a paradigm shift in the management of complex limb injuries, integrating orthopedic and plastic surgery principles to optimize functional and aesthetic outcomes. This review examines the evolution of this approach, its hierarchical framework for addressing tissue defects, and the essential technical competencies required for successful implementation. Key components of orthoplastic extremity reconstruction are illustrated through current evidence focusing on soft tissue management with high free flap success rates, vascularized bone transfers utilizing fibula, iliac crest, and medial femoral condyle flaps, and advanced techniques for amputee reconstruction including regenerative peripheral nerve interfaces and targeted muscle reinnervation. Meta-analysis evidence demonstrates that the synergistic collaboration between orthopedic and plastic surgery specialties achieves significant reduction in infection rates, improved limb salvage rates, and decreased health care costs through reduced hospital stay and revision surgeries. This article emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration, comprehensive preoperative planning, and technical expertise in achieving optimal results in complex extremity reconstruction while addressing recent advances in reconstructive microsurgery protocols.
