Totally, 410 patients with a cervical hip fracture were randomized between two methods of osteosynthesis: a single nail (Rydell) and two hook-pins (LIH). Seventy-five percent of the patients were women. Sixty-nine percent were alive after 2 years. The patients were followed up with clinical and radiographic examinations for 2 years postoperatively. No difference between the two groups were found regarding quality of reduction, early displacement within 3 months, extraction after healing, nonunion, late segmental collapse, or reoperation with a total hip arthroplasty. Nor did we find any differences between the two groups when selecting those alive after 2 years or when dividing the fractures in displaced and nondisplaced fractures.
