Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Proximal femoral nail antirotation and femoral head replacement could quickly recover hip function in intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly, but whose efficacy is better remains controversial.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the differences in the effects of proximal femoral nail antirotation and femoral head replacement on intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly by using a meta-analysis.
METHODS: The relevant literatures were searched in PubMed, Cochrane, CNKI, Wanfang database and VIP, and other relevant journal such as Chinese Journal of Orthopaedics and Orthopedic Journal of China for articles published in recent five years. Randomized controlled trials concerning proximal femoral nail antirotation and femoral head replacement for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in the Chinese elderly were collected. Baseline data, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative out-of-bed time, length of stay, Harris score, complication rate and number of death were collected and processed using RevMan 5.30 software for meta analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Totally 37 clinical controlled trials with 3 216 patients were recruited. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with femoral head replacement, proximal femoral nail antirotation was at a disadvantage in postoperative out-of-bed time, length of stay and joint function in the early stage. No significant difference in complication and mortality was detected between proximal femoral nail antirotation and femoral head replacement. However, proximal femoral nail antirotation had some advantages such as short operation time, small trauma, and less intraoperative blood loss, and showed good midterm and long-term outcomes of joint function.
