A rare double Maisonneuve fracture involving concurrent proximal and distal fibula; Weber type A fracture: 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
Background: Double Maisonneuve fracture is an extremely rare traumatic condition characterized by simultaneous proximal and distal fibular fractures with syndesmotic disruption. Previously reported cases involved only Weber type B or C distal fibular fractures. To date, no reports have described an associated Weber type A fracture. We report a case of a double Maisonneuve fracture involving a Weber type A distal fibular fracture and describe the clinical course and surgical management. Methods: A 63-year-old man sustained a left lower leg crush injury involving a Weber type A distal fibular fracture, proximal fibular fracture, medial and posterior malleolar fractures, and tibiofibular diastasis. After initial external fixation, definitive internal fixation was performed on postoperative day 9. The Weber type A fracture was treated using nitinol staples, and fibular length restoration was achieved with a foot distractor. The ankle mortise was stabilized using a one-third tubular plate and trans-syndesmotic screws. Results: Postoperative imaging confirmed adequate fracture reduction and restoration of the ankle mortise. One year after surgery, radiographs and CT showed complete union and maintained syndesmotic alignment. The patient achieved a Japanese Society for Surgery of the Foot (JSSF) score of 90/100, with full range of motion in both the knee and ankle. Conclusions: Double Maisonneuve fracture with a Weber type A distal fibular fracture is extremely rare. Accurate diagnosis requires careful palpation of the proximal fibula and imaging of the entire lower leg. Favorable outcomes can be achieved through proper restoration of fibular length and stabilization of the ankle mortise.
