Proximal Femur Locking Compression Plates Versus Trochanteric Nails

Reverse Oblique Intertrochanteric Fractures Clinical Trial

Official title: Treatment of Reverse Oblique Intertrochanteric or Subtrochanteric Fractures With a Proximal Femur Locking Compression Plate (PF-LCP, PF-LCP Hook Plate, PeriLoc) or Trochanteric Nails. A Multicenter Cohort Study

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the abductor muscle strength measured with a dynamometer in patients with reverse oblique inter- or subtrochanteric fractures treated either with a proximal femur locking plate or a trochanteric nail.

"Proximal femur locking plates" stands for both the PF-LCP (Synthes) and the PeriLoc (Smith & Nephew). Trochanteric nails allowed in this study are the Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA), the Titanium Trochanteric Fixation Nail (TFN) and the Gamma Nail (GN).
