Single-Stage Correction of Genu Recurvatum with Dual-Pillar Plating - 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
Introduction: Genu recurvatum with anterior tibial subluxation is an uncommon but functionally debilitating deformity that can cause progressive pain, instability, and altered gait mechanics in young adults. When conservative management fails, surgical correction becomes necessary to restore alignment, joint biomechanics, and functional capacity. This report describes a reproducible single-stage corrective technique for complex genu recurvatum using biplanar osteotomy, bone graft augmentation, and dual-pillar fixation. Case Report: A 19-year-old male presented with a 3-month history of progressive left knee pain, exacerbated by walking and stair climbing. Clinical examination revealed valgus alignment with hyperextension, and radiographs confirmed complex genu recurvatum with anterior tibial subluxation. Laboratory and serological investigations were within normal limits. The patient underwent a single-stage surgical procedure consisting of an 8 mm biplanar tibial tuberosity osteotomy performed distal to the patellar tendon, augmentation with a tricortical iliac crest bone graft, and dual-pillar fixation using medial and lateral plates along with tibial tuberosity screw fixation under C-arm guidance. The post-operative course was uneventful. At 2 months, he demonstrated 0-100° of knee flexion with significant pain reduction. By 5 months, he achieved a full range of motion, complete pain relief, and radiological signs of progressive bone union. At 9 months, he showed stable alignment, full functional recovery, and returned to sports without pain or limitations. Conclusion: This case highlights the effectiveness of a combined biplanar osteotomy with bone grafting and dual-pillar fixation for treating complex genu recurvatum with anterior tibial subluxation. The technique offers durable correction, maintains patellar height, promotes rapid healing, and supports early return to full functional activities.
