Percutaneous Compression Plate versus Dynamic Hip Screw for Treatment of Intertrochanteric Hip Fractures: A Meta-Analyse of Five Randomized Controlled Trials

Table 2

Meta-analysis results of complications comparing PCCP with DHS.

Complications	Group (n)		Studies (n)	Overall effect
	PCCP	DHS		Effect estimate	95% CI	P value
Respiratory	102	109	2	0.70	0.28~1.75	0.45
Pulmonary embolism	102	109	2	0.52	0.09~2.93	0.46
Cardiovascular event	102	109	2	0.80	0.33~1.92	0.61
Cerebrovascular accident	102	109	2	0.17	0.02~1.42	0.10
DVT	102	109	2	0.33	0.08~1.44	0.14
Superficial wound infection	102	109	2	0.35	0.04~3.41	0.37

DVT: deep-vein thrombosis; PCCP: percutaneous compression plate; DHS: dynamic hip screw; CI: confidence interval.
