Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Proximal femoral nail antirotation is widely used in the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture of the femur because of its advantages of high stability, small trauma and quick recovery after operation. However, there is no comparative study on evidence based medicine of the difference in the efficacy between the two postures of proximal femoral nail antirotation.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical efficacy of lateral decubitus with manual traction versus supine position with traction bed in treatment of elderly unstable intertrochanteric fractures with proximal femoral nail antirotation by meta-analysis.
METHODS: Studies on femoral intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly using closed internal fixation with proximal femoral nail antirotation were retrieved by computer. Quality of the studies was assessed. The meta-analysis was conducted by using the RevMan 5.3 software.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) A total of 8 articles including 661 patients, of which 330 cases were treated in lateral decubitus with manual traction while 331 cases treated in supine position with traction bed, were carefully enrolled in the study. (2) The meta-analysis results showed that lateral decubitus had advantages over supine position in shortening operative preparation time [MD=-7.58, 95%CI (-14.42, -0.74), P < 0.05], shortening operation time [SMD=-0.81, 95%CI (-1.01, -0.61), P < 0.000 1], reducing length of incision [MD=-1.92, 95%CI (-2.17, -1.67), P < 0.000 1], reducing surgical blood loss volume [MD=-24.51, 95%CI (-42.22, -6.79), P=0.007 < 0.01], increasing the number of X-ray fluoroscopy [MD=2.82, 95%CI (0.91, 4.72), P=0.004 < 0.01]. However, there were no statistical differences between them in the results of Harris Hip Score at 6 months [MD=0.55, 95%CI (-0.77, 1.86), P > 0.05]. (3) Results suggested that lateral decubitus with manual traction has advantages over supine position with traction bed, but the best surgical position in proximal femoral nail antirotation should be chosen according to various factors in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly.
