NCT02868125 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 300

Last updated 2016-08-16

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

There is no standardized protocol regarding the post-operative radiographic follow up of patients that sustain pertrochanteric hip fractures and are treated with closed reduction and internal fixation. The policy in the investigator's institution as in other hospitals is to conduct a radiogram of the operated hip during the first days following operation after the patient bore weight on the fixated femur. The investigator's goal is to asses the added value of this policy and to offer recommendations regarding this specific followup component.

Conditions

  • Pertrochanteric Fracture

Interventions

RADIATION

X ray radiography

All studied patients will undergo an x-ray radiography of the operated hip. This protocol is a part of the investigators' common practice policy regardless of the study.
