Tucker A, et al. - The functional outcomes, revision and mortality rates of 3 implants used for unstable intertrochanteric hip fractures viz the sliding hip screw (SHS), with or without a trochanteric stabilization plate (TSP) and a cephalomedullary nail (CMN) were assessed in this multicentre national prospective cohort study. When compared with SHS ± TSP, best results in functional outcomes, 12-month mortality, and lower revision rates were conveyed by the use of a CMN in unstable intertrochanteric hip fractures.
