Pertrochanter Fracture Clinical Trial
Official title:
Comparison of Functional Recovery After Pertrochanter Fracture Treated With Either Total Hip Replacement or Centromedullary Nailing
This is a single-centre, comparative, prospective randomised trial. It will include 70
patients over a period of 2 years randomized into two groups of 35 patients: one group of
patients treated with osteosynthesis (plate, nail or screw) and the second group treated with
total hip replacement.
The Harris and PMA functional scores will be assessed at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 1
year.
The time to recovery of weight-bearing, the subjective satisfaction score, the EQ5D quality
of life questionnaire, the VAS score for pain at rest and when walking, the Parker score, the
rate of complications and deaths will also be measured. Operating time, blood loss and scar
