Brief summary
The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety of administering rhBMP-2/CPM as an adjuvant to internal fixation in subjects with fractures of the proximal femur.
Interventions
one time injection of 3-5 mL test article at time of internal fracture fixation
surgical internal fixation of fracture defines the standard of care group

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Age 55 or older. * Acute fracture of the proximal femur: displaced femoral neck fracture or unstable intertrochanteric femur fracture. * Anatomic reduction (open or closed) and internal fixation within 48 hours following injury using any one of the following fixation constructs: 1) multiple parallel interfragmentary screws; 2) sliding hip screw and side plate fixation; or 3) cephalomedullary nail.
Exclusion criteria
* Concurrent fractures of the ipsilateral or contralateral lower extremity that would impede performance on functional assessments. * Previous arthroplasty of contralateral (unaffected) hip. * Planned procedure(s) to stimulate fracture healing after internal fixation of the fractured hip.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The safety outcome is the incidence of secondary fracture displacement among subjects treated with rhBMP-2/CPM compared to those receiving standard surgical treatment (internal fixation) alone. | upon completion 6 months of follow-up |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To establish a satisfactory method of administering rhBMP-2/CPM to implement in a phase 3 efficacy trial in this clinical indication. | 6 months follow-up |
| To estimate the success and failure rates associated with key fracture outcomes. | 6 months follow-up |
