Summary

This study looks at whether using two fixation devices instead of one helps heal broken thigh bones near the knee. About 60 adults with this type of fracture will be treated within 72 hours of injury. Researchers will track surgery time, blood loss, hospital stay, and early complications to see which approach works better.
