Three-Dimensional Surgical Planning and Patient-Specific Osteotomy Guide in the Management of Chronic Monteggia Fracture: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of orthopaedic case reports, 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
Introduction: Chronic Monteggia fracture-dislocations, characterized by persistent radial head dislocation and ulnar malunion, pose significant reconstructive challenges. While three-dimensional (3D) printing has shown promise in upper extremity deformity correction, its application in chronic Monteggia lesions remains limited. Case Report: We report the case of a 24-year-old male presenting with a 1-year history of forearm pain following failed surgical management of a Monteggia fracture. Radiographs revealed a Bado type I chronic Monteggia fracture-dislocation. A personalized 3D-printed osteotomy guide was designed from pre-operative computed tomography data to assist in corrective ulnar osteotomy. The surgical plan included implant removal, corrective osteotomy using a customized surgical guide, bone grafting, and annular ligament reconstruction if unstable radiocapitellar joint after correction. Postoperatively, the patient initially regained functional elbow motion but later developed oligotrophic non-union. Revision surgery with repeat bone grafting resulted in solid union and complete functional recovery. Conclusion: This case highlights the potential of 3D-assisted pre-operative planning and patient-specific guides in managing chronic Monteggia deformities. It contributes to the growing evidence supporting personalized surgical technologies in complex upper-limb reconstruction.
