Int Wound J . 2024 Apr;21(4):e14540.Twenty-one randomized controlled trials including 2004 patients with intertrochanteric femoral fractures were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis comparing rapid rehabilitation care vs. routine care. Pooled outcomes of interest included postoperative complications, wound infections, wound pain, and length of hospital stay.
