Embedding the lateral end of the lag screw within the lateral wall in the repair of reverse obliquity intertrochanteric femur fracture.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective The management of reverse oblique intertrochanteric femoral fractures is difficult because such fractures have unique biomechanical characteristics. This study was performed to review the results of treating reverse oblique intertrochanteric femoral fractures with a long cephalomedullary nail by embedding the lateral end of the lag screw to secure axial compression. Methods We herein report the surgical outcomes in seven patients with reverse oblique intertrochanteric fractures treated with our procedure. Patients whose hip screws obviously had no contact with the distal fragment and whose follow-up time was too short were excluded. The lateral end of the lag screw was embedded within the lateral cortex, and the screws were locked to the nail. All nails were long, and a distal locking screw was inserted in the dynamized position. Results No reoperation, definite leg length discrepancy, or malunion occurred in this study. Conclusions These data suggest that early complications do not seem to increase when the lateral end of the lag screw is embedded and the screw is locked to the nail in the treatment of reverse oblique intertrochanteric fracture at this stage.
