What is the fracture displacement influence to fracture non-union in intramedullary nail treatment in subtrochanteric fracture?
Article in Journal of clinical orthopaedics and trauma. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
introductionThe fracture displacement in intramedullary nail in femoral subtrochanteric fracture may cause fracture non-union. We retrospectively analysed our recent experience to clear the influence about fracture displacement in intramedullary nail in femoral subtrochanteric fracture. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study includes 36 patients in the intramedullary nail group followed up for more than 12 months; these patients suffered from femoral subtrochanteric fracture from 2009.1-2014.12 in our hospital. The operation time, amount of bleeding, length of hospital stay, fracture healing time, Harris function score of hip joint, fracture displacement, TAD and postoperative complications were summarized.
resultsThe average follow up time was 20.2 months, average operation time was 126 min, average amount of bleeding was 258 ml, average hospitalization was 13.1 days, average fracture healing time was 6.8 months, average fracture displacement was 1.23 cm, average TAD was 19.7 mm and average hip Harris function score was 82.5 points. Five cases suffered non-union. Only the fracture displacement degree made significant correlation with fracture non-union. All union patients had a fracture displacement less than 2.2 cm and all non-union patients had a fracture displacement more than 2.5 cm.
conclusionIntramedullary nail treatment must focus on fracture reduction and recovery of femoral medial support with assisted incision technique or closed cerclage wire technique when necessary. In our opinions, only the fracture displacement degree made significant correlation with bone non-union and all cases achieved bone union when it less than 2.2 cm according to our statistics. But it still need further research to find out the displacement of fracture fragments could be tolerant.
