Conditions
Brief summary
The rationale of this study is to address the knowledge gap in management of hip fracture and compare the radiological healing (assessed via RUSH score) at 3 months in patients with hip fracture managed with plates and nails. Hypothesis: There is a difference in radiological healing of hip fractures at 3 months fixed with either intramedullary or extramedullary implants.
Interventions
Intramedullary implant. Implant which is inserted centrally into the bone by an orthopedic surgeon.Intramedullary implant used will be proximal femoral nail or gamma nail.
Extramedullary implants used will be either dynamic hip screw, dynamic condylar screw, cannulated screws, or proximal femoral locking plate.
The procedure time will be around 1 hour. Allocation will be up to the discretion of treating surgeon.
