Abstract
There is no consensus regarding the optimal device for displaced intracapsular hip fractures. This retrospective study compared two techniques (1) cannulated cancellous screw (CCS), and (2) Targon Femoral Neck (TFN) plate. Data regarding gender, operational data, complications, pain, Quality of life and function scores were retrieved. 103 patients were included, 42 were treated using CCS, compared to 61 treated using TFN. Operative time shorter for CCS (p = 0.019). Complication rates were not different (p > 0.05). As CCS method take shorter operating time and reduced costs, CCS should be used for the treatment of displaced ICHF.
