Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Radiological and functional assessment will be done at each follow-up. Time for union will be noted. Functional assessment will be done using the Modified Harris Hip Score, range of motion at the hip,and the radiological assessment of union using the RUSH Score and health outcome measures using SF-12 questionnaire.Timepoint: 6 weeks, 3months, 6months,and at 1 year.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Associated complications such as secondary loss of reduction, malunion, non-union, implant failure, need of revision surgeries will be noted. Timepoint: 6 weeks, 3months, 6months, and at 1 year.
