Study Summary
Each year, hip fracture, an injury that can impair independence and quality of life, occurs in about 280,000 Americans and 36,000 Canadians. The annual healthcare costs associated with this injury are expected to soon reach $9.8 billion in the United States and $650 million in Canada. It is important to have in place optimal practice guidelines for the surgical handling of this injury. One type of hip fracture, called a femoral neck fracture, is often treated with a surgical procedure called internal fixation. When performing internal fixation, most orthopaedic surgeons favor using multiple small diameter screws over using a single large diameter screw with a sliding plate. However, use of the sliding hip screw might in fact result in fewer complications after surgery and reduce the need for a second surgery, called a revision surgery. This study will compare the two different surgical procedures to determine which one results in better outcomes after surgery.
Primary Outcome
Additional Surgery on the affected hip
Interventions
- DEVICE Open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) with single sliding hip screw
- DEVICE ORIF with multiple cancellous screws
