Free vascularized fibula transfer for total wrist arthrodesis: A solution for failed wrist arthrodesis after wrist hemiarthroplasty extraction.
Article in JPRAS open, 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
Salvage radiocarpal arthrodesis is an option in the treatment of failed wrist arthroplasty. If bony union is achieved the results can be comparable to primary wrist arthrodesis. Substantial bone loss and decreased vascularity of the bone may be an issue in some cases. The present case report describes the case of a 58-year-old man with posttraumatic wrist arthritis after an intraarticular distal radius fracture. He was treated with a wrist hemiarthroplasty which ultimately failed and was converted to a radiocarpal arthrodesis. After two failed arthrodeses with bone grafting and a dorsal locking plate, we performed a free vascularized fibula transfer which resulted in bony union and a pain-free wrist. Free vascularized fibula transfer may be a salvage option in select cases of failed radiocarpal arthrodesis.
