Risk Factors for Cut-out After Internal Fixation of Trochanteric Fractures in Elderly Subjects.

NCT ID: NCT03975868

Last Updated: 2019-06-05

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Total Enrollment: 228 participants
• Study Classification: OBSERVATIONAL

Brief Summary

Proximal femoral fracture is associated with severe morbidity and mortality and high socioeconomic costs. The main mechanical complication of internal fixation in trochanteric fracture is lag-screw cut-out through the femoral head. Several factors are involved, but remain controversial. The aim of the present study was to determine risk factors for cut-out in internal fixation of extracapsular proximal femoral fracture.
