Re-Evaluation of GAmma3 Intramedullary Nails in Hip Fracture: A Multi-Centre Randomized Controlled Trial of Gamma3 Intramedullary Nails Versus Sliding Hip Screws in the Management of Intertrochanteric Fractures of the Hip

Stryker Trauma and Extremities·interventional·Posted Nov 9, 2007·Updated Jun 27, 2011

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Gamma3 intramedullary nail (Stryker) and Sliding Hip Screw for Femoral Neck Fractures and Intertrochanteric Fracture. Completed, enrolled 90 participants across 5 sites in 3 countries.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of Gamma3 intramedullary nails versus sliding hip screws on rate of revision surgery in individuals with inter-trochanteric fractures. Secondary outcomes include fracture healing rates, fracture related complications, and health-related quality of life.

Interventions

Gamma3 intramedullary nail (Stryker)procedure

The Gamma3 nail is cannulated for Guide-Wire-controlled insertion, and features a conical tip for optimal alignment with the inner part of the cortical bone. A single distal Locking Screw is provided to stabilize the nail in the medullary canal and to help to prevent rotation in complex fractures.

Sliding Hip Screwprocedure

The sliding hip screw is a single larger diameter partially threaded screw, which is affixed to the proximal femur with a side plate (with a minimum of two holes and a maximum of four holes) and no supplemental fixation.
