Bone block surgical treatment of distal peroneal tendon dislocation: A Short 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: Dislocation of the distal peroneal tendons (PTD) is an uncommon condition that may cause pain and disability around the ankle. A surgical approach is often chosen to prevent symptomatic recurrent dislocation. The primary bone block surgery (PBBS) is one of the current surgical treatment options, but evidence on patient-reported outcomes, including satisfaction and postoperative discomfort, remains lacking. This study aims to explore the patient-reported outcomes after PBBS in the treatment of PTD. Methods: Our case series included 19 patients (median age 38, IQR 20) surgically treated between 2014 and 2023. Patient satisfaction level using a 5-point Likert scale was scored as primary outcome. Secondary outcomes were ankle pain using an 11-point numeric rating scale (NRS) and the Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS). Additionally, patients could indicate if they had recurrent PTD (yes/no) or experienced discomfort around the bone block or screw (yes/no). Results: After a median follow-up of 28 months (IQR 88), 47% of patients were very satisfied and 53% were satisfied with the result of PBBS. Median NRS pain score was 1 (IQR 2) and FAOS was high, with all domain scores in the upper quartile. Two patients developed recurrent PTD after surgery (1 after screw removal), and 68% of patients experienced discomfort around the bone block area. Conclusion: We found a high level of satisfaction after PBBS for PTD at short-term follow-up. However, two-thirds of patients reported hardware-related discomfort and 10% experienced recurrent dislocation. Further refinement of the bone block fixation technique seems warranted. Leve of Evidence: Level IV, retrospective case series.
