[Friction-assisted screw fixation after reorienting pelvic osteotomies : Current evidence and clinical implications].
Review in Orthopadie (Heidelberg, Germany), 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
backgroundInternal fixation of the reoriented acetabular fragment is essential to maintain correction until osseous union. However, the underlying biomechanical principles of fixation stability remain insufficiently understood.
objectivesTo summarize the biomechanical evidence on fragment fixation following reorienting pelvic osteotomies and to derive clinically relevant fixation principles. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe results of a previously published biomechanical study using 12 synthetic hemipelvis models after triple pelvic osteotomy were combined with a structured literature review. A bidirectional construct with two axial screws and one transverse screw (group 1) was compared with a monoaxial construct using three long iliac screws (group 2).
resultsNo significant differences were found between the two fixation concepts. Construct stiffness in group 1 and in group 2 was 56.5 ± 17.8 and 41.2 ± 9.5 N/mm, respectively, and corresponding failure loads were 255.3 ± 40.7 and 255.6 ± 61.7 N. Medialization and changes in acetabular anteversion and inclination increased significantly in both groups during progressively increasing cyclic loading, without significant differences between them at the assessed time points. Six additional biomechanical studies showed substantial methodological heterogeneity. Recurrent determinants of stability were osteotomy geometry, fragment contact, spatial screw distribution, and intraosseous anchorage.
conclusionsIliac screw fixation can be understood as a friction-assisted intraosseous interlocking construct. Long screws with favorable spatial distribution are more relevant than the isolated orientation of a single screw. In triple pelvic osteotomy, additional anterior fixation across the pubic osteotomy may further improve stability. Partial weight-bearing until radiographic consolidation and strict nicotine abstinence remain essential components of postoperative management.
