Outcome of total knee arthroplasty in patients with Blount disease or Blount-like deformity: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Musculoskeletal surgery, 2025. 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
Blount disease is a genetic disorder affecting the proximal tibial bone, resulting in a complex deformity of the knee. In the absence of timely treatment, the likelihood of developing degenerative arthritis increases. A total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the conventional treatment for adult patients with Blount disease or Blount-like deformity with advanced degenerative changes. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the results of TKA in this particular cohort of patients. The present systematic review comprised a total of 5 articles. The 5 evaluated studies included data from 9 patients who undergone 12 TKAs. The patients were assessed throughout an average follow-up duration of 4 years. In all, there were three revisions of the prosthetic components. All studies achieved successful clinical scores at the last follow-up. A thorough exploration of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science was conducted to identify research that documented the results of TKA in patients diagnosed with Blount disease or Blount-like deformity. TKA in patients with Blount disease or Blount-like deformities is intricate and demanding. Constrained implants can effectively mitigate the possible problem of persistent instability. Notwithstanding the unfavorable circumstances, TKA in this cohort of patients appears to yield satisfactory outcomes during the short- to medium-term period of observation. Other study is necessary to establish the enduring outcomes of TKA in this particular cohort of patients.
