Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Skin traction
Prior to hip fracture surgery, affected limb was wrapped with a special elastic bandage and pulled from the sole of the foot with a weight of 5-10% of total body weight of the patient (min 2.3 kg, max 4.5 kg).
elastic bandage
This group is the routine treatment (control) valid in the clinical practice.
Position splint
Prior to hip fracture surgery, position splint was applied to the affected limb in order to keep the extremity in the proper positon without any weight lifting.
Derotation splint
This group is the actual intervention group.
