Screws vs fixed angle plates

Mortality: early (within 4 months) · older adults (> 60 years of age) with intracapsular hip fractures; most fractures in the included studies were displaced

It is very uncertain whether screws changes mortality: early (within 4 months) compared with fixed angle plates (very low certainty).
