Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2020
The purpose of this study will be to compare the failure and complications rates of and orthopedic implant (Cephalomedullary Nail) fixed with two different options actually available: lag screw or helical blade. The study population will be patient who have been diagnosed with an intertrochanteric hip fracture.
