简要总结
The main goal of the study is to determine which cephalomedullary nail results in a better functional outcome for the patient with an unstable intertrochanteric hip fracture. Subjects will be randomized to fixation with either a Gamma3 cephalomedullary nail or an InterTan cephalomedullary nail. Outcomes will be reviewed over a 12 month follow-up period.
详细描述
Primary Hypotheses:
Patients who maintain their initial fracture reduction and subsequent position over time with minimal femoral neck shortening and varus will demonstrate significantly improved functional abilities, including gait and abductor function.
Secondary Objective:
- Whether radiographic differences in femoral neck shortening and varus collapse translate into a worse functional outcome to the patient.
- Whether there are differences in mortality between treatments
- Whether there is a time frame follow up after which there is no difference in outcomes.
- Evaluate the device used for fracture stabilization as a potentially contributing factor for maintenance of normal or near-normal abductor function and gait.
