Official Title: A Prospective Randomized Trial of Intertrochanteric Femoral Fractures Treated With a Single Screw Versus a Two-integrated Screw Cephalo-medullary Nail.
Brief Summary: The main goal of the study is to determine which cephalomedullary nail results in a better functional outcome for the patient with an unstable intertrochanteric hip fracture. Subjects will be randomized to fixation with either a Gamma3 cephalomedullary nail or an InterTan cephalomedullary nail. Outcomes will be reviewed over a 12 month follow-up period.
