Retrograde intramedullary nail (RIMN) vs locking plate

Direct adverse events (reoperation): we report reoperation for removal of implant as this is the most clinically relevant. Other adverse events with data included: loss of fixation, superficial infection, deep infection, haematoma formation, impla... · adults with fractures of the distal femur

It is very uncertain whether retrograde intramedullary nail (RIMN) changes direct adverse events (reoperation): we report reoperation for… compared with locking plate (very low certainty).

Intervention not reported

Pins (No direct evidence, indirect evidence only) · older adults (> 60 years of age) with intracapsular hip fractures; most fractures in the included studies were displaced

It is very uncertain whether the intervention changes pins (No direct evidence, indirect evidence only) (very low certainty).

Non‐operative treatment (No direct evidence, indirect evidence only) · older adults (> 60 years of age) with intracapsular hip fractures; most fractures in the included studies were displaced

Intervention not reported

Dynamic fixed angle plate (2 RCTs; 246 participants)a · older adults (> 60 years of age) with intracapsular hip fractures; most fractures in the included studies were displaced

It is very uncertain whether the intervention changes dynamic fixed angle plate (2 RCTs; 246 participants)a (very low certainty).

Intervention not reported

Dynamic fixed angle plate (1 RCT; 190 participants)a · older adults (> 60 years of age) with intracapsular hip fractures; most fractures in the included studies were displaced

The intervention may leads to higher dynamic fixed angle plate (1 RCT; 190 participants)a (low certainty).
