A Rare Repair: Trochlear Fracture Fixed With Headless Screws and Medial Epicondyle Osteotomy - 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: Isolated trochlear fractures of the distal humerus are rare and often underreported. Case Report: We present a case of a 35-year-old female who sustained such a fracture after falling onto a flexed elbow. Initially managed conservatively, she later required surgery due to persistent pain and limited motion. Imaging revealed an anterosuperiorly displaced osteochondral fragment, necessitating open reduction and internal fixation via medial epicondyle osteotomy. Two titanium screws secured the fragment, achieving articular congruency. Twelve months post-operative, the patient had a Mayo Elbow performance index score of 100. Conclusion: This case emphasizes the importance of recognizing and managing isolated trochlear fractures effectively.
