Prospective Trial on Trochanteric Femur Fractures Treated With or Without a Trochanter Support Plate

A Prospective Randomised Study of Unstable Trochanteric Femur Fractures Treated With Dynamic Hip Screw With and Without a Trochanter Support Plate

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A

Summary

Fractures just below the hip often are treated with a so called Gliding Screw and Plate (DHS). Recently a new additional plate called a Trochanter Support Plate (TSP) which attaches to the DHS has become available which is claimed to give extra support to the fracture. In a prospective randomised study we wish to test the hypothesis that the TSP does not give any additional stability to the fracture treated with the DHS.
