InterTAN: Integrated Dual Screw Design Improve Biomechanics/Function Following Fixation Surgery

NCT06024304 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

Summary

The goal of this pilot, patient blinded randomized trial is to develop a mechanistic understanding of gait following fixation of unstable intertrochanteric hip fractures and return to function and pain control. The guiding hypothesis that will be tested in a subsequent clinical trial is that the InterTAN when compared to standard lag-screw cephalomedullary nails will have decreased post operative pain, earlier return to symmetric weight bearing, and quicker return to pre-injury functioning levels.
