Re-Evaluation of GAmma3 Intramedullary Nails in Hip Fracture (REGAIN) — REGAIN  

Femoral Neck Fractures Clinical Trial

Official title:
Re-Evaluation of GAmma3 Intramedullary Nails in Hip Fracture: A Multi-Centre Randomized Controlled Trial of Gamma3 Intramedullary Nails Versus Sliding Hip Screws in the Management of Intertrochanteric Fractures of the Hip

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of Gamma3 intramedullary nails versus sliding hip screws on rate of revision surgery in individuals with inter-trochanteric fractures. Secondary outcomes include fracture healing rates, fracture related complications, and health-related quality of life.

Clinical Trial Description

Hip fractures are becoming a more prevalent issue worldwide, leading to profound morbidity, and in some cases, mortality. Currently the most common method of surgical treatment includes the use of a sliding hip screw over a Gamma intramedullary nail, but there is conflicting evidence regarding which device has a lower revision of surgery rate and complication rate. The newest generation of Gamma3 nails have strong rationale suggesting significantly decreased rates of femoral shaft fractures and improved function. The improvements in implant design of the Gamma3 nail provide compelling rationale for the conduct of a large, definitive trial, and therefore a pilot study is being conducted to confirm or refute our ability to recruit patients and assess the consistency between site estimates and actual recruitment, determine the degree to which site investigators can adhere to trial protocol, confirm or refute our anticipated ability to achieve close to 100% follow- up, assess our ability to maintain 100% data quality, field test our case report forms for clarity and appropriateness, and to determine whether we can successfully manage the logistics of coordinating trial activities across multiple sites.

This trial is a pilot, multi-center, concealed randomized controlled trial. Surgeons will use one of the two surgical strategies in patients who have sustained a trochanteric fracture; the Gamma3 intramedullary nail or the sliding hip screw. Clinical assessments will occur at the time of hospital admission, 1 week, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery. ;
