Summary
This study is being conducted with the aim of comparing the time to bone healing after
surgery for fragility fractures of proximal femur between patients receiving strontium
ranelate and placebo. Patients recruited are of 60 years of age and above. Bone healing will
be assessed on clinical parameters when patient is able to ambulate full weight bearing
without pain and on Xray images using RUSH score. Moreover Dexa scan will be performed
pre-operatively and at 3 months postoperatively. The findings of this study will help in
setting up guidelines for treatment of fragility proximal femur fractures in our population
as there is still paucity of literature on effectiveness of strontium ranelate from our part
of the world.
