Which hip fracture implant works better? retrospective study compares two common options
NCT ID NCT07282236
Summary
This study looked back at medical records to compare two different types of surgical implants used to repair unstable hip fractures in older adults. Researchers examined 686 patients treated between 1997 and 2010 to see if one implant (Gamma nail) led to better healing, fewer complications, or faster recovery than another (InterTAN nail). The goal was to help surgeons choose the best option for this common but serious injury in elderly patients.
