Computer-Assisted Fixation of Trochanteric Femur Fractures
Hip Fractures
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Hip Fractures focused on measuring Peritrochanteric femur fractures
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion criteria:
1. Patients aged 18 years and older with isolated closed peritrochanteric femur fractures who are candidates for surgical fixation with a cephalomedullary nail device
Exclusion criteria:
- Patients with open peritrochanteric femur fractures or multiple injuries (i.e., polytrauma)
- Patients with peritrochanteric femur fractures better treated with a device other than a cephalomedullary nail, as determined by the attending orthopedic surgeon
- Patients less than 18 years of age

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Active Comparator
Experimental
Traditional fluoroscopy
Stryker© ADAPT™ platform
Cohort 1 will consist of patients with closed peritrochanteric femur fractures who undergo open reduction internal fixation with a Stryker© Gamma™ cephalomedullary nail using traditional fluoroscopy for insertion of the lag screw (current standard of care).
Cohort 2 will consist of patients with closed peritrochanteric femur fractures who undergo open reduction internal fixation with a Stryker© Gamma™ cephalomedullary nail using the Stryker© ADAPT™platform to assist with insertion of the lag screw.
