Summary
This study is testing a new type of metal nail (RFN-advanced) to repair broken thigh bones. About 40 adults with a fracture in the lower part of the thigh bone or the shaft will receive this implant. Researchers will track how well the bone heals, pain levels, and any problems over 3 years to see if this new design works better than current options.
