Summary
This study looks at whether using two metal implants (plates or rods) to fix a broken thigh bone near the knee works better than using just one in people aged 60 and older. The goal is to see if a larger study is possible by checking how many people join, follow the plan, and complete follow-ups. About 80 participants will be treated at five hospitals and tracked for one year.
