Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The angle of the 2- or 4-hole sliding hip screw plate [°] and the length of the sliding hip screw [mm], the tip-apex distance [mm] and the angle between sliding hip screw and antirotation scew [°] were measured in frontal and axial planes of the intraoperative X-rays.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
In each follow-up visit the healing time [weeks] and implant failure as well as possible surgical related complications were examined.
