L’Abbé plot (A,C) and forest plot (B,D) for the meta-analysis of complication and implant-related complication rates between intramedullary nail and extramedullary fixation. L’Abbé plots of complications and implant-related complications indicated no obvious heterogeneity among the included studies, We observed significant differences in complication rates, but no significant difference in the incidence of implant-related complications between the two groups.
