Clinical Trial Summary

In France, the annual incidence of hip fracture is about 80 000 with more than 75% of these fractures occurring in patients aged 80 years old or more. About 10% percent of patients presenting with a hip fracture will sustain a contralateral hip fracture, most within 3 years. The consequences of a hip fracture are dramatic: 20% of patients die in the first year and less than half those who survive regain their previous level of function. Hip fractures are invariably associated with chronic pain, reduced mobility, disability, and an increasing degree of dependence. The efficacy of pharmacological treatments to prevent a contralateral hip fracture is marginal and postponed and compliance is known to be poor.

Osteoporosis is associated with cortical thinning and trabecular bone loss. Therefore, the mini-invasive preventive fixation (MIPF) of the contralateral femoral neck is appealing. The effect is immediate and compliance is certain. Morbidity is minimal because it is performed during the same operation as the fixation of the femoral neck fracture.

The main objective of this study is to determine whether the mini-invasive preventive fixation (MIPF) of the contralateral femoral neck in patients having a femoral neck fracture is superior to no fixation regarding the occurrence of a contralateral hip fracture within 3 years.
