Pertrochanter Fracture

Brief summary

This is a single-centre, comparative, prospective randomised trial. It will include 70 patients over a period of 2 years randomized into two groups of 35 patients: one group of patients treated with osteosynthesis (plate, nail or screw) and the second group treated with total hip replacement. The Harris and PMA functional scores will be assessed at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year. The time to recovery of weight-bearing, the subjective satisfaction score, the EQ5D quality of life questionnaire, the VAS score for pain at rest and when walking, the Parker score, the rate of complications and deaths will also be measured. Operating time, blood loss and scar size will also be evaluated.
