Evaluation of Fracture Migration After Internal Fixation of Femoral Neck Fractures in Younger Adults: A Clinical RCT Using RSA

The goal of the clinical trial is to compare different surgical methods for internal fixation of femoral neck fractures in younger adults. The main question it aims to answer is: Is internal fixation with the novel implant consisting of three angle stable screws locked together by a plate equal to internal fixation with cancellous screws or a sliding hip screw in younger adults under 65 years of age in terms of fracture migration? The study will examine how stable the fracture remains during healing. This will be measured by assessing how much the fracture moves after surgery using a highly precise imaging method called radiostereometric analysis (RSA). The study will also record complications and evaluate pain, health related quality of life, and hip function over time. The participants will be treated with either a novel angle stable implant (Dynaloc), cannulated cancellous screws or sliding hip screw and followed up at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months and 12 months. Recruitment will continue until 75 participants, 25 in each group, have completed the 12-week follow-up for the primary outcome.
