Comparison Study of 3-4-screws-internal Fixation With Multi-screw-system Targon FN for Femoral Neck Fracture

NCT00829725 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: PHASE4 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 300

Last updated 2010-09-08

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare between two methods of internal fixation, the 3-4 parallel screws or the Targon FN implant in gardens type 1-2 or Pauwels type 1-2 femoral neck fractures in terms of the outcomes and complications associated with the treatment of these fractures.

Conditions

  • Femoral Neck Fractures

Interventions

DEVICE

screws-internal fixation

3-4-screws-internal fixation

DEVICE

TARGON FN

The Targon FN implant consists of a small side plate with six locking screw ports. The two distal holes are used to fix the plate to the lateral cortex of the femur with angle stable 4.5 mm cortical screws. The proximal holes allow the implementation of up to four "TeleScrews" which cross the fracture site. These 6.5 mm screws are dynamic and allow therewith the collapse of the fracture at the femoral neck. The sliding during the collapse occurs within these screws so that a protrusion of the screws in the lateral soft tissue is prevented
