U.S., Dec. 12 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07277569) titled 'Combined Nail and Plate Fixation in Proximal Femoral Fractures With Lateral Wall Deficiency' on Nov. 29.
Brief Summary: Proximal femoral fractures are a major cause of hospitalization and disability worldwide (1). They are commonly seen among elderly patients after low-energy trauma and in younger adults after high-energy injuries and represent a major challenge in orthopaedic management (2) (3).
These fractures pose unique biomechanical challenges because of axial compression, bending forces and the strong muscle pull that leads to flexion, abduction and external rotation of the proximal fragment (4). Operative management aims to ...
