A biomechanical digital twin of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease deformity.
Article in International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery, 2026. 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
purposeThe dynamic stress environment in the hip joint is thought to contribute to pain and osteoarthritis (OA) in people with Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) deformity, but is poorly understood, limiting clinical management options. The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate a patient-specific biomechanical "digital twin" model of LCPD to predict chondrolabral shear stress in dynamic and static loading scenarios.
methodsWe produced a digital twin model of both hips in a patient with unilateral LCPD deformity using anatomical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the ArtiSynth modeling platform. We evaluated the model's sensitivity to changes in material properties and joint angles during a typical gait cycle, and verified its stress and femoral translation predictions against upright open MRI of the hip in high-flexion postures.
resultsThe model's prediction of the highest chondrolabral shear stress during a gait cycle was 22-93% greater in the LCPD hip than in the unaffected hip. The model was sensitive to changes in material parameters and joint angles, but could accurately reproduce femoral translation and expected stress distribution in extreme static postures.
conclusionThis study demonstrates the importance of both dynamic motion and morphology in the stress environment of highly aspherical hip joints. Although some challenges remain, digital twin models are a promising tool to study the long-term outcomes of LCPD, and could be applied in future to aid clinical management.
