Periprosthetic Humeral Shaft Fracture about Total Elbow Arthroplasties Managed with Medial and Lateral Femoral Strut Allografts and Implant Retention: A Case Report.

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
Introduction: Expanding indications for total elbow arthroplasty in recent years have led to increased occurrence of complications, such as periprosthetic elbow fracture, which can occur in up to 12% of cases. Several management options for periprosthetic elbow fracture have been suggested in literature; however, there is currently no accepted guideline for treatment. Case Report: We present two cases of periprosthetic humerus fractures without implant loosening multiple years after the index procedures. They were treated with open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) utilizing a plate with medial and lateral cortical strut femoral allografting with implant retention. Conclusion: Two cases of periprosthetic humerus fractures about total elbow arthroplasties were successfully treated with ORIF with medial and lateral cortical strut augmentation. Treatment for periprosthetic elbow fractures should be tailored to each patient based on factors, such as stability of implant, bone stock, and patient goals.
