Three vs four screws to fix a broken hip bone
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares using three versus four screws to hold a femoral neck fracture (a break in the hip bone near the joint). It aims to see which method works better for healing and recovery after internal fixation surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 years or older.
- You have a one-sided (unilateral) femoral neck fracture that will be treated with internal fixation (surgery using hardware).
- Your fracture matches a specific hip fracture pattern (AO type 31-B).
- You can understand the study and paperwork, and you (or your helper) can attend follow-up visits and consent in writing.
- The planned operation fits the study’s “in-label use” of the screw system being tested.

This study compares two types of surgery for a specific hip fracture in older adults: hip replacement versus inserting screws to hold the bone in place. It aims to see which helps patients recover faster and get back to moving around sooner.
This study compares two treatments for certain small, stable hip fractures in older adults: using hip screws versus replacing part or all of the hip. It may help find which option works best for healing and returning to movement.
This trial tests whether a new surgical method helps hip fractures heal better in adults aged 18 to 64. It uses special X-rays to track how the bone moves over time.
This trial compares two types of surgery—plates and screws versus hip replacement—for a specific type of hip fracture that is not shifted out of place. The goal is to see which option helps people recover better.
This trial compares two approaches to partial hip replacement after a broken hip (femoral neck fracture). The goal is to see which approach leads to better mobility and daily function after surgery.
This trial compares an artificial-intelligence system to standard surgeon planning for placing screws in a broken hip (femoral neck fracture). It tests whether AI can improve the placement of screws that hold the bone together during healing.
