Arthroscopy is a viable treatment for a disturbing intracapsular tissue proliferation in a through-the-knee amputee, a case report.
Article in BMC musculoskeletal disorders, 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
This case report presents the successful arthroscopic resection of capsular hypertrophy in a 33-year-old female who underwent through-the-knee amputation following trauma. A minimally invasive surgical approach that has not yet been described in the literature for soft tissue hypertrophy at the amputation stump. The patient experienced persistent irritation and pain in the medial femoral condyle despite well-fit orthosis adjustments. Previous conservative treatments were unsuccessful. Given the patient’s complex history and risk of wound healing complications, an arthroscopic approach via the residual joint capsule was chosen to avoid open surgery. Postoperatively, the patient experienced rapid recovery, with symptoms resolving within months, and full prosthetic use was achieved at four months. This report highlights arthroscopy as a viable option for managing TKA stump complications. This provides other surgeons with a minimally invasive option for treating complaints on a joint stump with a residual joint capsule.
