Key Points

To assess the effectiveness and safety of the proximal femoral bionic nail versus InterTAN nail in elderly patients with intertrochanteric femoral fractures.
Systematic review following the PICOS framework
Literature search conducted in multiple databases until October 31, 2025
Utilized ROBINS-I tool for methodological quality assessment
PFBN group had a shorter hospital stay (P=0.04) and reduced internal fixation-related complications (P=0.01) compared to InterTAN
No significant differences in intraoperative blood loss (P=0.17) and postoperative weight-bearing time (P=0.47)
PFBN had a longer operative time (P=0.03) than InterTAN
