Description
Magnus Høgevold and co-authors compare two ways to pin a hip fracture, in work published in 2026. The breaks sat at the neck of the thigh bone and had not shifted. One group got plain pins, while the other got pins locked through a small plate. Lab work hinted the plate would hold twist better.
Twenty-five patients joined the trial at two hospitals, and seventeen finished a full year of checks. Precise X-ray tracking showed the plate group twisted far less by week fifty-two. Shift along the bone and daily function scores did not differ. Five patients needed new surgery. The authors say the gain in hold may not change daily outcomes.
