    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-12-02) Rodríguez Pacco, Carolina Rosario; Cordova Vargas, Teodora; Uturunco Vera, Milagros Lizbeth
    Objective: Systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of internal fixation versus external fixation to reduce complications in patients with fractures. Methodology: It was a systematic observational and retrospective review, the search has been restricted to articles with full text, subjected to critical reading, using the GRADE evaluation to identify their level of evidence. Results: Of a total of 10 scientific articles reviewed 100% (10), from China 60% (06), United Kingdom 20% (02), United States 10% (01), and Qatar 10% (01). Likewise, 100% (10) from China, the United Kingdom, the United States and Qatar were systematically reviewed. According to the findings of the scientific articles analyzed, 70% (07) showed that internal fixation compared to external fixation presented a decrease in complications in patients with fractures and 30% (03) showed that internal fixation compared to external fixation external fixation presented similar complications in patients with fractures. Conclusions: The study concluded that internal fixation compared to external fixation presented a decrease in complications in patients with fractures such as infections, hospital stay and rapid recovery.
