Summary

This study looks at whether using two metal implants instead of one to fix a broken thigh bone near the knee helps older adults (over 60) recover better. About 80 participants will be tracked for a year to see how well they heal and move. The goal is to find out if a stronger fix leads to faster or safer recovery.
