Risk Factors for Cut-out After Internal Fixation of Trochanteric Fractures in Elderly Subjects.
Completed
- Conditions
- Proximal Femoral Fracture
- Registration Number
- NCT03975868
- Lead Sponsor
- Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild
- Brief Summary
Proximal femoral fracture is associated with severe morbidity and mortality and high socioeconomic costs. The main mechanical complication of internal fixation in trochanteric fracture is lag-screw cut-out through the femoral head. Several factors are involved, but remain controversial. The aim of the present study was to determine risk factors for cut-out in internal fixation of extracapsular proximal femoral fracture.
