Outcome measures
Primary outcome
1. Major and minor implant related;
2. complication rate;
Secondary outcome
1. Procedure time;
2. preoperative fluoroscopic rime;
3. number of infections;
4. resumption of full activities;
5. mortality.
Background summary
The Fixion Proximal Femur Nailing System
is a relatively new intramedullar nail. The background of the study is to investigate it's use in (un)stable proximal femur fractures. The hypothesis is that there is a reduced infection risk, a minimized fluoroscopy exposure, reduced mortality and a reduced procedure time, in comparison with the Gamma 3 Nail.
It's a single blinded randomized clinical evaluation of the treatment and results of intramedullary nailing for (un)stable proximal femur fractures. Patients will be randomized for the Gamma 3 nail group or the Fixion PF Nailing System.
The study population will be human volunteers with a minimal age of 18 years old with a (un)stable proximal femur fracture.
The risks associated with participation are not different from the regular therapy and follow-up of a pertrochanteric femur fracture.
Study objective
Treatment with Fixion Proximal Femur Nailing System will give less complications than treatment with Gamma 3 Nail in unstable proximal femur fractures.
Study design
0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 48 weeks postoperative
