Is dynamic locking plate(Targon FN) a better choice for treating of intracapsular hip fracture? A meta-analysis

Abstract

The available evidence indicate that dynamic locking plate offers a superior outcome in comparison with alternative implants and reduces the nonunion, revision and replacement rates for treating intracapsular hip fractures, but does not affect the osteonecrosis, cutout and non-orthopadeics complication rate. Decisions should be made in accordance with specific conditions for clinical application.

Is dynamic locking plate superior than other implants for intracapsular hip fracture

“…Only 1 relevant meta-analysis about this topic has been published. [15] Although the main finding of our meta-analysis was consistent with previous meta-analyses, differences between ours and the previous ones should be noted. First, previous meta-analysis did not comprise Harris hip score between these two methods.…”

Increased torsional stability by a novel femoral neck locking plate. The role of plate design and pin configuration in a synthetic bone block model

“…In contrast, reduced reoperation rates have been reported with locking plate technology permitting intermediate fracture compression, i.e. sliding of the fracture (26). Principally, this may be achieved by parallel sliding screws locked in a sideplate fixed to femur (7) or parallel screws interlocked in a plate not fixed to femur laterally, sliding en bloc.…”

Dynamic compression locking system versus multiple cannulated compression screw for the treatment of femoral neck fractures: a comparative study

“…The type of femoral neck fracture and improper treatment are considered to be the main factors of nonunion and femoral head necrosis [19]. Garden classification is the mainstream clas Femoral neck fractures, no matter what treatment method is selected, have a significant impact on the living quality of patients and bring a large economic burden to society [21]. Although internal fixation has a higher incidence of postoperative revision rate, complications, nonunion, delayed bone healing, and poor function in the treatment of undisplaced femoral neck fractures for super-aged patients [22], internal fixation still is currently preferred for Garden I and II femoral neck fractures [6].…”
