Combined hip procedure (CHP) involving open reduction and internal fixation and acute total hip arthroplasty (THA) for elderly acetabular fractures: a comparative analysis to THA for femoral neck fractures and hip osteoarthritis.
Article in European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeCompare 1-year clinical and functional outcomes of combined hip procedures (CHP) involving open reduction and internal fixation and acute total hip arthroplasty (THA) for elderly acetabular fractures with those of THA for femoral neck fractures (FN) and hip osteoarthritis (OA).
methodsIRB-approved registry used to compare three cohorts with minimum 1-year follow up at an academic center. Fifteen patients > 55 years old with acetabular fractures who underwent combined hip procedure were identified. CHP cohort was propensity-matched at a minimum 3:1 ratio to FN and OA cohorts who underwent THA. All patients underwent posterior approach for THA. The Functional Ambulation Classification score was used to evaluate independent ambulatory ability. Comparative analyses performed using ANOVA and Chi-Squared tests.
results118 patients with mean age 70.76 ± 9.37 years were identified. OA cohort had the highest BMI (p = 0.040), lowest rate of diabetes (p = 0.027), and highest pre-operative assistive device use (p < 0.001). CHP cohort had the longest operative time (p < 0.001), largest intraoperative blood loss (p < 0.001), and greatest need for transfusion (p < 0.001). CHP cohort had the longest hospital stay (p < 0.001) and experienced the highest rates of medical complications (p < 0.05) compared to the other groups. CHP cohort had the lowest Functional Ambulation Classification score at all post-operative time points up to 1 year. No differences observed in readmission or mortality rates among cohorts.
conclusionCHP involving open reduction and internal fixation and acute THA for elderly acetabular fractures had worse one-year functional outcomes and higher postoperative complication rates compared to THA for less severe indications, such as FN fractures and OA. Level of evidence III.
