About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Femoral Neck Fracture

Eligibility Criteria

50 Years - 110 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adult men or women (see age specifications below) with subcapital femoral neck fractures (stable or unstable) confirmed with anteroposterior and lateral hip radiographs, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
  • Patients between 50 and 69 years of age with any Garden type femoral neck fracture
  • Patients older than 70 years of age with femoral neck fractures Garden type I and II
  • Patients older than 70 years of age with a femoral neck fracture Garden types III and IV and contraindication to hemiarthroplasty.
  • Operative treatment within 4 days (i.e., 72 hours) of presenting to the emergency room.
  • Patient was ambulatory prior to fracture, though they may have used an aid such as a cane or a walker.
  • Anticipated medical optimalization of the patient for operative fixation of the hip.
  • Provision of informed consent by patient or proxy.
  • Low energy fracture (defined as a fall from standing height).
  • No other major trauma.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Associated major injuries of the lower extremity (i.e., ipsilateral or contralateral fractures of the foot, ankle, tibia, fibula, knee, or femur; dislocations of the ankle, knee, or hip; or femoral head defects or fracture).
  • Retained hardware around the affected hip.
  • Abnormal opposite hip making end-point evaluation impossible
  • Infection around the hip (i.e., soft tissue or bone).
  • Patients with disorders of bone metabolism other than osteoporosis (i.e., Paget's disease, renal osteodystrophy).
  • Moderate or severe cognitively impaired patients (i.e., Six Item Screener with three or more errors).
  • Patients with Parkinson's disease (or dementia or other neurological deficit) severe enough to increase the likelihood of falling or severe enough to compromise rehabilitation.
  • Likely problems, in the judgment of the investigators, with maintaining follow-up. We will, for example, exclude patients with no fixed address, those who report a plan to move out of town in the next year, or intellectually challenged patients without adequate family support.
