Sliding compression locking plate to fix fresh femoral neck fractures
Official title: Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Clinical Study of a Novel Sliding Compression Locking Plate in the Treatment of Fresh Femoral Neck Fractures
Run by Chinese PLA General Hospital · NCT06713291 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial tests whether a sliding compression locking plate is safe and works well for adults with fresh femoral neck fractures who need internal fixation.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18 or older with a recent femoral neck fracture who are suitable for internal fixation and can tolerate surgery and follow-up are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
People with active hip infection, metabolic or radiation-related bone disease, severe hip contracture or muscle loss, allergy to implant materials, or who cannot tolerate surgery are unlikely to benefit from this procedure.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
Adults with recent femoral neck fractures who are candidates for surgical internal fixation are enrolled and receive either a sliding compression locking plate or three cannulated compression screws as the implant. The study collects safety and effectiveness outcomes related to fracture healing, implant stability, and complications after surgery. Participants must be able to tolerate anesthesia and agree to follow-up visits for postoperative assessment. Data will be used to compare outcomes between the locking plate approach and the established screw fixation option.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the locking plate could provide more stable fixation and reduce complications or reoperation rates compared with standard screw fixation.
How similar studies have gone: Other internal fixation methods such as cannulated compression screws and sliding hip devices have established success for many femoral neck fractures, while this specific sliding compression locking plate design appears to be a newer device with more limited published data.
