Hybrid fixation and sciatic neurolysis of an ischial tuberosity avulsion fracture with neurologic symptoms: 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 Ischial tuberosity apophyseal avulsion fractures (ITAFs) are rare injuries occurring primarily in adolescent males. ITAFs are typically caused by a strong eccentric hamstring contraction that avulses the ischial apophysis before it is fully fused. However, there is currently no consensus on its therapeutic paradigm. Case Presentation A 13-year-old male presented with posterior thigh pain after a twisting injury. On exam, he had ischial tenderness, limited hip flexion, and lower extremity paresthesias. Imaging revealed a proximally displaced ischial tuberosity apophyseal avulsion fracture. Management and Outcomes He underwent open reduction and hybrid fixation with suture anchors and a cannulated screw, and sciatic nerve neurolysis. Postoperatively, neurologic symptoms resolved, and he resumed full activity within five months. Conclusion This case demonstrates the successful and novel use of hybrid fixation for a displaced ITAF with neurologic symptoms. Hybrid fixation provides a stable repair, enabling a safe and timely return to sports for adolescents.
