Overview

Systematic review evaluates clinical outcomes of intramedullary nailing and plate fixation for trochanteric fractures, suggesting individualized surgical approaches.

Key Points

  • Both intramedullary nailing and plate fixation yield similar outcomes for trochanteric femoral fractures.
  • Intramedullary nailing resulted in a significant reduction in operative time by 5.18 minutes compared to plate fixation.
  • The analysis included 14 randomized trials with a total of 4603 patients, following PRISMA guidelines.
  • Implant selection and stability of the fracture play a crucial role in determining surgical outcomes.
