Two-stage approach to obturator hip dislocation with subcapital femoral neck 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
Anterior dislocation of the hip associated with an ipsilateral femoral neck fracture is exceedingly rare and typically results from high-energy trauma. We describe the case of a 33-year-old man who was engaged in a car crash and suffered numerous injuries, among them an anterior hip dislocation with the femoral neck trapped in the obturator foramen. The patient was treated in a single surgical procedure using a dual approach: resection of the femoral head through the Stoppa approach and placement of a primary total hip replacement through the Hardinge approach. The procedure was completed without complications, and rehabilitation included early mobilization with full weight-bearing at two weeks. At 24 months, the patient demonstrated preserved muscle strength, stable radiographs without loosening, and a Harris Hip Score of 86. This case highlights a rare injury pattern and supports the use of a dual-approach single-stage procedure as a safe and effective treatment strategy.
