Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether this two intramedullary fixations are effectively in the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture.

Clinical Trial Description

With the progress of aging society, elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures were occurred more and more. The best recommend treatment is surgical treatment of intramedullary fixation. However, existing methods of intramedullary fixation could not be restored the integrated interior support, and it will occur early hip varus. Meanwhile, the varus deformity will no longer develop if the two ends contact with wach other. This new intramedullary fixation device can overcome the existing shortage of intramedullary fixation devices and supporting the inside of the problem. It can prompting the fracture site to obtain a stronger initial stability, improve fracture healing rate, reduce the incidence of varus and allow patients with early weight-bearing walking. ;
