Abstract
Studies suggest that outcomes comparing percutaneous compression plating (PCCP) and hip screw (HS) for treatment of hip fractures are varied. Outcomes favoring PCCP include lower mean blood transfusion requirements and slightly lower postoperative pain. Both PCCP and HS are associated with low rates of implant failure, however, in the PCCP group implant failure and unplanned reoperations may be more common. Additional randomized controlled trials are recommended to verify these results.
