A meta-analysis of the Gamma nail and dynamic hip screw in treating peritrochanteric fractures

The review found there was a higher rate of postoperative femoral shaft fracture with Gamma nail compared with dynamic hip screw fixation in treating peritrochanteric fractures, but no differences for other outcomes; further research is needed. The authors' conclusions reflect the data presented, but should be interpreted considering the substantial methodological flaws in included trials and potential review process bias.
