Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • -Harris Hip Score(HHS)

    \- Harris Hip Score(HHS) : scale from 70 to 100 (70-90) . The higher the HHS, the less dysfunction. A total score of \<70 is considered a poor result; 70-80 is considered fair, 80-90 is good, and 90-100 is an excellent result (1). No normative values are available.

    First 3 months post-operative

  • -Mobility Score (MS)

    \- Mobility score(MS) : scale from 0 to 3 (0-3) 0 being good mobility and 3 being severely impaired mobility. The higher mobility score, the higher mobility impairment.

    First 3 months post-operative

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • -Harris Hip Score(HHS)

    1 year follow up

  • Mobility Score (MS)

    1 year follow up

Study Arms (2)

BHA group

OTHER

Patients will undergo Bipolar hemiarthroplasty operation

Procedure: Bipolar hemiarthroplasty , proximal femoral nail

PFN group

OTHER

Patients will undergo cehphalo-medullary fixation (Proximal femoral nail)

Procedure: Bipolar hemiarthroplasty , proximal femoral nail

Interventions

* Removal of head of femur , greater trochanter , and lesser trochanter and use bioplar hemiarthroplasty (BHA). * Intra-medullary fixation of intertrchanteric femoral fracture by proximal femoral nail (PFN) Fixation of the fracture by using intramedullary nail(proximal femoral nail).

Also known as: prosthetic joint , fracture fixation
BHA groupPFN group
