ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is comparing two different surgical methods for treating femoral neck fractures in young adults, which are breaks in the top part of the thigh bone near the hip joint. The trial will specifically look at the effectiveness of a locking plate versus multiple screws in helping these fractures heal properly. Femoral neck fractures can happen due to high-energy accidents, and it's important to treat them right away to avoid complications like poor blood supply to the hip, which can lead to further problems.

To be eligible for this trial, participants should be between 20 and 55 years old and have a single traumatic femoral neck fracture. They should have been able to walk independently before the injury. Unfortunately, individuals with certain conditions, like open fractures or other injuries in the same area, cannot participate. If you join this study, you will receive one of the two surgical treatments and be monitored for your recovery. This research aims to find out which method works better for young adults with these types of fractures.
