Functional Elbow Reconstruction After Complete Ulnar Resection for Ewing's Sarcoma: Radial Neck Transposition as a Biomechanical Alternative.

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: Ewing's sarcoma of the ulna is rare, and its wide resection poses challenges for preserving upper limb function. Elbow reconstruction must ensure joint stability and forearm mobility. Conventional alternatives, such as bone grafts and prostheses, have limitations, including a high risk of complications. Objective: This study was aimed at reporting a case of elbow reconstruction using radial neck transposition to the humeral trochlea after ulnar resection for Ewing's sarcoma, evaluating the functional outcomes of this technique. Methods: A 17-year-old male patient with Ewing's sarcoma in the ulnar diaphysis underwent complete ulnar resection. Radial neck transposition to the humeral trochlea was performed. Follow-up included functional assessment using the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) scale and postoperative imaging. Results: After 2 years, the patient had an MSTS score of 28/30, with preserved wrist and hand mobility, full pronation, and supination reduced to half. Radiographic follow-up demonstrated proper alignment of the reconstruction, with no instability or bone resorption. Conclusion: Radial neck transposition proved to be a viable alternative for elbow reconstruction after ulnar resection, providing stability and functional preservation. Further studies are needed to validate its application on a larger scale.
