About this study

For fresh femoral neck fracture internal fixation, both DHS and CCS can make strong fixation of hip and have good recovery. There is no statistical difference in complications after surgery between the two procedures. Patients with DHS internal fixation have earlier postoperative weight bearing, which is conducive to functional exercise of the injured limb. DHS internal fixation system is recommended for patients with unstable fractures and severe osteoporosis.

Read the detailed description

Objective: To compare the clinical effect of dynamic hip screw (DHS) and cannulated compression screw (CCS) in the treatment of fresh femoral neck fracture. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the data of 91 patients with fresh femoral neck fracture treated with DHS or CCS in our hospital from January 2012 to June 2016.The cases were divided into two groups according to internal fixation: 44 cases in the DHS group and 47 cases in the CCS group. By comparing operative time, intraoperative bleeding, postoperative load, Harris scoring and the complications such as postoperative necrosis of femoral head and shortening of femoral neck appearance, we evaluated the clinical curative effect of two kinds of fixation.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • internal fixation implantation of dynamic hip screwDevice

    Dynamic hip screws (DHS) are a femoral head-sparing orthopedic device used to treat femoral neck fractures.

  • internal fixation implantation of cannulated compression screwDevice

    Cannulated Screw is designed to provide a minimally invasive method of anatomical fixation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Internal fixation failure rate

    defined as the total incidence of internal plant cut-out and fracture.

    Measured: from operation to 1-year follow-up after the surgery

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Number of Participants with Bone nonunion

    evaluate bone healing according to the lateral X-ray examination. According to the regulations of Food and Drug Administration of the US, if there are no obvious signs of fracture healing 9 months after the fracture, or if there is no obvious difference in fracture space after three consecutive months, it is defined as nonunion.

    Measured: from operation to 1-year follow-up after the surgery

  2. Harris hip score

    the score value is from 0 to 100, and a higher score means a better outcome

    Measured: from operation to 1-year follow-up after the surgery

  3. operation time

    from the incision to internal fixation implanted

    Measured: intraoperation

  4. The times of intraoperative fluoroscopy

    average 25 milliseconds per X-ray shot, record the number of X-ray shot

    Measured: intraoperation

  5. Number of Participants with Postoperative adverse events

    including ipsilateral femoral head avascular necrosis, infection, wound hematoma, ipsilateral coxa vara, and ipsilateral limb shortening

    Measured: from operation to 1-year follow-up after the surgery

  6. Garden index

    The fracture reduction will be considered unsatisfied if the index is less than 155 degrees or more than 180 degrees.

    Measured: from operation to 1-year follow-up after the surgery

  7. A 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12)

    the score value is from 0 to 100, and a higher score means a better outcome

    Measured: from operation to 1-year follow-up after the surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing internal fixation implantation of dynamic hip screw and internal fixation implantation of cannulated compression screw in people with Femoral Neck Fractures, run by Peking University Third Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Internal fixation failure rate (time frame: from operation to 1-year follow-up after the surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Jul 2021.
