Summary

This study is done to compare the partially threaded versus fully threaded cannulated screw fixation methods in stable neck of femur fracture in terms of early functional outcomes in patients of age 60 and above. A total of 82 (41 in each group) patients of both genders, aged 60 or above. The Radiographic Union Scale for Hip (RUSH) and Harris Hip score to be used to evaluate fracture healing.

Conditions

  • Neck of Femur Fracture

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Fully threaded cannulated screws

The most popular method in undisplaced neck of femur fracture include internal fixation by cannulated screws in which screws can be inserted relatively simply and atraumatically as compared to other methods. Screws can be used partially threaded or fully threaded; however studies on fully threaded screw fixation method are inconclusive.
