Review Meta Analysis
Posterior tilt in nondisplaced femoral neck fractures increases the risk of reoperations after osteosynthesis. A systematic review and meta-analysis.
To conduct a systematic review on the effect of posterior tilt on reoperations, patient reported outcome measures (PROM) and functional outcome following osteosynthesis of undisplaced FNFs (uFNF). ⋯ A posterior tilt ≥20° leads to a higher risk of reoperations in uFNF. Even though the studies were of poor quality, the results suggest that we should include the measurement of posterior tilt in national guidelines.
