THE RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF TRIGEN INTERTAN NAIL IN THE TREATMENT OF UNSTABLE INTERTROCHANTERIC FEMORAL FRACTURES AT HOSPITAL FOR TRAUMATOLOGY AND ORTHOPAEDICS.
Article in Orthopedic reviews, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Background: Intertrochanteric fractures are highly prevalent among the elderly population, with approximately 90% occurring in individuals aged over 65. These geriatric fractures are associated with elevated mortality rates and significant functional impairment. Common treatment modalities for unstable intertrochanteric fractures include proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) and the InterTan nail (IT). PFNA and IT are frequently employed due to their lower failure rates and favorable biomechanical properties, resulting in positive clinical outcomes for the management of unstable intertrochanteric fractures. The unique design of the IT nail, featuring two cephalocervical screws within an integrated mechanism, permits linear intraoperative compression and rotational stability of the neck and head fragment. In this study, we assess the clinical outcomes of IT nail utilization in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures at the Hospital for Traumatology and Orthopedics. Methods: This study comprises a retrospective analysis and case series report. Between February 2021 and August 2021, we retrospectively evaluated 35 patients who underwent treatment with the IT nail for unstable intertrochanteric fractures. Epidemiological data, operative duration, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative blood transfusion requirements, length of hospital stay, bone healing rates, and IT nail-related complications were recorded. Results: The mean age of the patients was 70.97 ± 16.97 years, with a mean operative time of 60 minutes, mean intraoperative blood loss of 160.86 ± 72.8 ml, mean intraoperative blood transfusion volume of 203.43 ± 189.29 ml, and a mean hospital stay of 7 days. Bone healing was observed in 97.14% of cases. Conclusions: The treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures using the IT nail in elderly patients was successful. Our findings indicate favorable clinical outcomes in terms of surgical duration, intraoperative blood loss, hospitalization duration, and union rates for elderly patients. Further investigations are warranted to validate these early results.
