Authors' objectives:
This analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of intramedullary nails versus extramedullary sliding hip screws for treatment of intertrochanteric hip fractures.
Authors' recommendations:
One high-quality systematic review was identified that evaluated the effectiveness of intramedullary nails in comparison with extramedullary sliding hip screws for treatment of intertrochanteric hip fractures. The following conclusions were reached:
Based on high quality of evidence, there was no significant difference in reoperations among patients receiving intramedullary nails versus those receiving sliding hip screws.
Based on high quality of evidence, there was no significant difference in mean mobility scores measured using the Parker-Palmer score between patients receiving intramedullary nails and those receiving sliding hip screws.
