Overview

Systematic review and meta-analysis shows that cerclage wiring improves outcomes in subtrochanteric fractures, suggesting better functional rehabilitation.

Key Points

  • Cerclage wiring significantly affects functional outcomes and reduction quality in subtrochanteric fractures.
  • The meta-analysis included eleven studies with 658 patients, revealing effects on blood loss and operational time.
  • Assessment indicated high quality studies using established evaluation tools like the Newcastle–Ottawa scale.
  • While cerclage wiring improves outcomes, it may lead to longer surgical times and increased blood loss.
