Clinical Outcomes of Chevron Osteotomy with Tension Band Wiring for Distal Humerus Fractures: A Prospective Study.
Article in Bulletin of emergency and trauma, 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
Objectives: Chevron osteotomy could be fixed using various techniques, each yielding different outcomes. This study aimed to determine the complications and outcomes caused by Chevron osteotomy fixed with tension band wire in distal humeral fractures. Methods: In this prospective study, patients with distal intra-articular humerus fractures treated by Chevron osteotomy at Shahid Rajaei and Shahid Chamran Hospitals (Shiraz, Iran) from October 2018 to October 2023 were enrolled. Osteotomy fusion was evaluated radiographically using the Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS). Additional complications were assessed during periodic patient follow-ups. Results: The study included 60 patients with a mean age of 44.6±18.14 years, including 23 (38.3%) women. All cases demonstrated complete union of the olecranon osteotomy, with no cases of infection or fixation failure. In three cases, the applied pins and wires were removed. Hardware-related irritation was observed in 22 patients (36.7%). Conclusion: The tension band wiring (TBW) method demonstrated acceptable clinical outcomes. Despite frequent hardwire irritation, this technique achieved high rates of bony union. However, future comparative studies evaluating multiple fixation techniques within a single center are warranted.
