Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: Cable plating with strutActive Control1 Intervention
The plate will be placed laterally with the allograft strut placed on the anterior cortex. Screw fixation will be used distal to the stem and cables and screws will be used proximal to the stem tip. Cerclage cables or wires will be used to secure the strut.
Group II: isolated platingActive Control1 Intervention
A lateral thigh incision will be used to expose the fracture site. Surgeons will attempt to minimize devascularization of the bone by meticulous dissection and indirect reduction techniques. An appropriate sized plate will be applied to the lateral aspect of the femur. Fracture reduction will be achieved with the use of intra-operative fluoroscopy and the plate will be secured with locking screws.
