Summary

The objective of this study is to compare the failure rate between two modes of fixing the lag screw of the cephalomedullary nail.

The sample studied will be patients who have been diagnosed with a fragility intertrochanteric fracture.

Investigators hypothesis is that the dynamic mode will have a lower failure rate compared to the static mode.

Conditions

  • Hip Fractures
