Clinical application of multi-direction temporary Kapandji technique and volar locking plate fixation for type C distal radius fractures.
Article in BMC surgery, 2024. 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
purposeAchieving and maintaining an optimal reduction in partially or fully displaced intra-articular fractures, specifically Type C distal radius fractures, can present challenges. This study aims to retrospectively evaluate and summarize a method utilizing multi-directional temporary Kapandji technique in combination with the volar locking plate fixation for these fractures.
methodThe study involved 15 patients diagnosed with Type C distal radius fractures who underwent surgery between January 2024 and April 2024. The procedure incorporated a multi-directional temporary Kapandji technique, followed by stable osteosynthesis using a volar locking plate system. The functional outcomes were assessed after 4 (2-6) months of follow-up using the modified Mayo wrist scoring system (MMWS). The MMWS is a rating system used to evaluate wrist function and pain, including pain, motion, grip strength.
resultsAll the patients incision healed within 2 weeks. All the fractures had uneventful union within 8-12 weeks. Based on the modified Mayo wrist scoring (MMWS) system, most patients showed good to excellent functional recovery.
conclusionThis reduction method proved to be both simple and replicable, enabling satisfactory alignment with minimal force. The volar locking plate system provided rigid and stable fixation.
