Overview

Prospective, comparative, randomized, double-blind study to evaluate the outcomes of trochanteric nailing in unstable hip fractures with and without a distal interlocking screw.

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.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient over 50 years old
  • With unstable intertrochanteric hip fracture
  • Operated in the first 48 hours after hospital admission

Exclusion Criteria:
