Clinical Trial: Periprosthetic Fractures of the Femur Treated by Osteosynthesis
Study Status: Recruiting
Recruit Status: Recruiting
Study Type: Observational
Official Title: Periprosthetic Fractures of the Femur Treated by Osteosynthesis
Brief Summary:
Observational retrospective study on 36 consecutive patients having had surgery for a periprosthetic fracture of the femur between 2010 and 2015.
The goal of the study is to test whether osteosynthesis was a secure choice at a certain age and with any type of Vancouver fracture.
