Anteromedial Tibia Plateau Fracture without Significant Ligamentous Injury Treated Successfully with Open Reduction and Internal Fixation: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Anteromedial tibial plateau fractures are an unusual pattern of injury, mostly caused by high-energy trauma in conjunction with knee hyperextension and varus force. This type of fracture is usually accompanied by extensive soft tissue injuries, especially the posterior cruciate ligament, the posterolateral corner, and, rarely, the medial meniscus. Case Report: A 44-year-old medically free male sustained a hyperextension injury to his left knee after being kicked by a horse. Imaging showed an anteromedial tibial plateau rim fracture, as well as a fibular head fracture. Examination under anesthesia revealed a stable knee. Open reduction and internal fixation were conducted using a 3.5 locking compression plate L-shaped plate, and screws. Post-operative outcomes at 7 months of follow-up, the patients had complete knee mobility, no significant ligamentous damage, and returned to regular activities without discomfort. Conclusion: This case illustrates that anteromedial tibial plateau fractures may occasionally occur without overt ligamentous injury. However, the absence of pre-operative magnetic resonance imaging and reliance on intraoperative manual testing limits the ability to exclude subclinical soft tissue damage. While stable fixation using an anteromedial approach resulted in favorable short-term outcomes, further studies and long-term follow-up are necessary to determine the durability of function and joint stability.
