What is the most fixable intramedullary implant for basicervical fracture and transcervical shear fracture? - A finite element study.

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 objectives of this study are 1) to biomechanically compare six different intramedullary fixations for basicervical fracture (AO 31-B3, Type 2 in area classification) and transcervical shear fracture (AO 31-B2.3, Type 1-2 in area classification) using the finite element (FE) method, and 2) to investigate the effects of two different unstable fracture types on fixation. Methods: FE models of two different types of proximal femoral fractures are constructed from CT scan images of a patient with osteoporosis. The fracture models are fixed with a short femoral nail with a single lag screw, short femoral nail with a single blade, and short femoral nail with double lag screws, and then fixed with long femoral nails for each of the three nail types. Subsequently, the maximum loads during walking and stair climbing, as well as the minimum principal strain and compressive failure elements are calculated to assess the fixation of each implant. Results: In both fracture types, the long nail with double lag screws show the smallest volume of compressive failure elements (basicervical fracture, 2 mm Conclusion: The present study shows that a long nail with double lag screws is the most fixative intramedullary nail device for basicervical fracture and transcervical shear fracture in any condition. Furthermore, it is shown that transcervical shear fracture is considerably more unstable than basicervical fracture.
