Stump refashioning technique in lower limb osseointegration.
Article in Langenbeck's archives of 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
backgroundOsseointegration represents an innovative technique within the field of limb amputation. The management of a permanent stoma through the residuum presents significant challenges, primarily due to the insufficient literature and limited surgical techniques available. This study aims to unravel soft tissue management strategies that seek to enhance surgical outcomes. METHODS AND
resultsIt is a retrospective study containing a total of 406 patients (251transfemoral and 155 transtibial) amputees who underwent (264 trans-femoral and 177 transtibial) osseointegration at Macquarie University Hospital and Norwest Private Hospital were systematically evaluated over the period spanning from December 2010 to December 2023. Out of a total of 264 transfemoral cases, 87(32.9%) cases necessitated stump refashioning surgery. In transtibial osseointegration, 37/177 cases (20.9%) of stump refashioning events were observed among the cohort.
conclusionThis study describes the surgical technique and the importance of careful soft tissue management in stump refashioning. It addresses issues of stoma pain, overhanging soft tissue, and infections to prevent potential complications and improve quality of life.
