Fixation Methods of Basicervical Fractures

Approval for this prospective randomized study was granted by the Local Ethics Review Board and all procedures were performed in accordance with the ethical standards of the Declaration of Helsinki (1964). Patients with a basicervical femur fracture were identified on admission to the Emergency Department of our tertiary hospital from January 2016 to January 2018. Patients with scheduled surgery who met the inclusion criteria and provided written informed consent were included in the study. Patients were randomly allocated to a study group by permuted blocks of randomly mixed sizes and stratification according to the type of surgery (CMN or SHS). Randomization was applied using pre-prepared randomization cards, which were placed in opaque sealed envelopes and given to the surgeons to open just prior to surgery, and the designated procedure was then performed.
