Abstract: Summary Background Reoperation rates are high after surgery for hip fractures. We investigated the effect of a sliding hip screw versus cancellous screws on the risk of reoperation and other key outcomes. Methods For this international, multicentre, allocation concealed randomised controlled trial, we enrolled patients aged 50 years or older with a low-energy hip fracture requiring fracture fixation from 81 clinical centres in eight countries. Patients were assigned by minimisation with a centralised comput… Show more

“…Another study failed to show significant differences between both treatment options [ 17 ]. Recently, the FAITH trial reported comparable outcomes for fracture fixation with the DHS and cannulated screws with small advantages in sub-group analyses favouring treatment with DHS [ 19 ].…”

“…The overall rate of refusal of 36% was much lower than what has been reported in the oncology literature,6–8 but higher than the refusal rates observed in previous surgery or orthopaedic research,4 9 and nearly double the rates of recent large orthopaedic trauma trials 12–14. The previous surgery, orthopaedic, and orthopaedic trauma trials compared interventions specific to the surgical procedure 4 9 12–14. By contrast, the PREVENT CLOT trial compares prophylactic regimens for prevention of a postoperative complication.…”

“…Despite the psychological distress associated with a traumatic injury,11 refusal rates for trauma trials may be much lower than what has been reported in oncology literature. Several recently completed trials of orthopaedic trauma patients reported refusal rates of less than 15% 12–14…”

“…Übergeordnetes Ziel sollte neben einer raschen schmerzadaptierten Vollbelastung die definitive Frakturversorgung in einer Operation im Sinne einer "Single Shot Surgery" sein. Da die Komplikationsrate nach einer rekonstruktiven proximalen Frakturversorgung des Femurs mit mindestens 20 % angegeben wird [29], die endoprothetische Versorgung bei Schenkelhalsfrakturen des älteren Patienten hingegen eine deutlich geringere Komplikationsrate aufweist, ist auch bei geringer Dislokation zunehmend häufiger eine endoprothetische Versorgung indiziert.…”
