Summary

Although Standard of Care for Hip Fractures is the Device (Dynamic Hip Screw) being studied in this project, and both sizes (the 2 and the 4 hole versions) are currently in use there is not widespread agreement yet whether there is an optimal number of screws (2 or 4) required for the best outcomes. If it can be shown that a 2 hole version is just as successful in outcomes it would allow for a smaller incision (surgical cut) at the site of the fracture. This could reduce soft tissue dissection, operating time, and surgical blood loss. This in turn would reduce post operative pain, blood loss, and hospital length of stay.
