- Device: hip trochanteric nail
- Registration Number
- NCT06357312
- Lead Sponsor
- Elda University Hospital
- Brief Summary
Prospective, comparative, randomized, double-blind study to evaluate the outcomes of trochanteric nailing in unstable hip fractures with and without a distal interlocking screw.
- Detailed Description
Due to the lack of first-level evidence, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of surgical treatment for unstable hip fractures, with or without the inclusion of a distal interlocking screw in the hip nail.
