Dynamic plate vs sliding hip screw or cannulated screws for intracapsular hip fracture .
Is dynamic locking plate (Targon FN) a better choice for treating of intracapsular hip fracture? A meta-analysis
Int J Surg. 2018 Apr;52:30-34Four studies were included in this meta-analysis comparing outcomes after intracapsular hip fracture fixation between a dynamic locking plate or alternative implants, including sliding hip screws and multiple cannulated cancellous screws.
