Comparison of Biochemical Changes in Patients With Trochanteric Region Fracture Fixation With DHS Versus PFN

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Hip Fractures
Interventions
Procedure: Proximal Femoral Nail
Procedure: Dynamic Hip Screw
Registration Number
NCT03849014
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

Hip fractures are one of the most frequent fractures in older adults. There is still controversy which surgical strategy is the best option for treatment of hip fractures especially trochanteric region fractures. Surgical intervention that follows hip fracture induces biochemical, physiological and fibrinolytic changes that are so-called "second hit phenomenon" which trigger systemic inflammatory response syndrome. The investigators are aiming to study this phenomenon after two different surgical procedures and help surgeons in everyday practice to choose the most suitable surgical treatment for patients with trochanteric region fracture and give the scientific community more evidence which methods is better since there is still controversy.

Proximal Femoral NailProximal Femoral NailThe Proximal Femoral Nail offers osteosynthesis for the several types of hip fractures. It consists of an anatomically curved nail, double neck screw, and two locking screws for distal end.
Dynamic Hip ScrewDynamic Hip ScrewDynamic Hip Screw is used for internal fixation of fractures of the certain types of hip fractures. The implant assembly consisting of a lag screw, a side plate, and cortical screws that fix the side plate to the proximal femoral shaft.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The difference of the level of IL-6 in operated patients.1 hour before and 24 hours after operation

The blood will be collected and after that centrifuged and then stored in -20 grade celsius. The analysis of each sample will be performed no later than 3 months.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The difference of the level of CRP in operated patients.1 hour before and 24 hours after operation. Length of operation, length of incision, blood loss perioperatively. Complication and mortality rate within 1 month after OP

The analysis will be performed immediately after the blood sample is collected.

The difference of the level of D-dimer1 hour before and 24 hours after operation

The analysis will be performed immediately after the blood sample is collected.

The difference of the length of operationIntra-operatively

The stopwatch will be turned on from the incision until the end of the skin suture

The difference of the level of ESR1 hour before and 24 hours after operation

The analysis will be performed immediately after the blood sample is collected.

The difference of the level of length of incisionAfter the wound closure

The measure will be made with centimeters (cm)

Blood lossLevels of HB before and after surgery. Also the total volume of blood transfusion.

HB-balance method will be used

Complications after surgeryWithin 1 month after surgery

All complications that might occur after surgery will be registered

Mortality rateWithin 1 month after surgery

The mortality of patients that might happen after surgery
