Comparing Surgical Techniques for CRIF of Pertrochanteric Fractures
- Conditions
- Femur Fracture
- Interventions
- Procedure: internal fixation (DHS - richard nail)Procedure: internal fixation (inflatable PFN by DISCOTEC)
- Registration Number
- NCT00686023
- Lead Sponsor
- Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center
- Brief Summary
Hypothesis: Inflatable intra medullary femoral nailing is superior to DHS in terms of blood loss, operative complications and postoperative rehabilitation in the management of pertrochanteric femur neck fractures.
- Detailed Description
patients with pertrochanteric fractures of the femur will be randomly assigned to one of 2 groups.
group 1 will undergo internal fixation using a DHS device. group 2 will undergo internal fixation using an inflatable intramedullary femoral nail device post operative care will be the same including DVT prophylaxis, early mobilization.
weight baring will be aloud in cases of a stable fracture (EVANS 1-3) non weight bearing until callus bridge in patients with unstable fractures (EVANS 4-6)
outcomes: death within first year
postoperative complications length of hospitalization time to mobilization functional score reontgenic evaluation
