Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Femur intertrochanteric fractures (FITC) are one of the most common fractures of the lower extremity, caused by osteoporosis, caused by minor trauma in elderly patients. Today, it is successfully treated with proximal femoral nails (PFN) designed in different ways. After surgical fixation with PFN, patients are mobilized by placing full weight, but some complications can be seen due to the patients being osteoporotic. In this study, the investigators planned to investigate the effect of full weight bearing and partial weight bearing on complications, which were not previously described in the literature.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Participants over the age of 60 who underwent PFN with the diagnosis of FITK were randomized (double-blinded consecutive full load on one patient and partial weight on one patient), and mobilized a group with full weight with the help of a walker after surgical fixation, and the other group with the help of a walker to give partial weight (balance). We planned to follow up his treatment prospectively. The compatibility of the groups will be evaluated by comparing the bone mineral density, calcium, alkaline phosphatase, phosphate, vitamin D levels and ages of the patients. Fracture types and post-treatment reduction quality of patients in both groups will be compared. We planned to compare the complication rates, Barthel Index and harris hip scores in the follow-up of the patients.
