Study protocol: biomechanical testing, finite element analysis and prospective, randomized, clinical study of single screw cephalomedullary nailing versus integrated dual interlocking screw fixation for unstable (31A21–3) intertrochanteric fractures in patients > 70 years old

Abstract Background Hip fractures are an increasingly common consequence of falls in older people that are associated with a high risk of death and reduced function. The vast majority of intertrochanteric fractures require surgical treatment to withstand early mobilization and weight bearing, which...
