A Prospective Randomised Multicenter Study Comparing the Sliding Hip Screw and the Intertan Nail in Trochanteric and Subtrochanteric Femoral Fractures

This is a study to compare the new nail "INTERTAN" with a Sliding Hip Screw in treating a specific group of hipfractures (trochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures).

Are there differences in terms of pain, early and late functional mobility and complications between the to implants (and methods of operation)?
