Intermediate versus Long Cephalomedullary Nails for Intertrochanteric Fractures Meta-Analysis

Abstract/Description

I am a rising MS-4 applying to orthopedics Fall 2022. I am conducting a meta-analysis comparing postoperative outcomes between intermediate length and long cephalomedullary (intramedullary) nails for fixation of intertrochanteric fractures. Traditional intertroch fracture management has involved either short or long nails, depending on fracture stability. Little literature is available pertaining intermediate nails and there are no reviews pertaining intermediate versus long nails, hence our purpose in performing this review.
