No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This prospective study (including patients with an intertrochanteric or subtrochanteric fractures type 31A1, 31A2 and 31A3) is to assess the effect of an educational intervention for operating surgeons with respect to an improvement of the quality of reduction and internal stabilisation of intertrochanteric fractures. A historic cohort of patients operated at the University Hospital Basel for an intertrochanteric fracture from 2014-2015 will be used for comparison.

Conditions

  • Hip Fractures

Interventions

OTHER

Instructional video

Video (produced by AO Trauma and Prof. Daniel Rikli) includes a stepwise and structured explanation of the different fluoroscopic views necessary to evaluate intraoperatively with the fluoroscope different aspects of the proximal femur. The video is publically available under: (https://www.aointeract.org/#/watch/video/L3YxL3ZpZGVvcy8xOTc=/intraoperative-imaging-of-femur).

OTHER

Reduction algorithm

Intraoperative reduction algorithm (developed by PD Henrik Eckardt); each step in the algorithm will be checked and documented with the fluoroscope and archived using the store function of the fluoroscope.
