Intramedullary fixation for hip fracture Introduction This survey is designed to explore beliefs and decision making around the use of intramedullary nails in unstable extracapsular hip fractures. The information from it will be used to inform a funding application for further clinical research in this area.Thank you very much for taking the time to complete these questions. OK Question Title * 1. When considering unstable extracapsular hip fractures which you do not think can be managed using a dynamic hip screw, which of these answers best describes your surgical practice? I will always use a long intramedullary nail I will always use a short intramedullary nail I may use either a short or a long intramedullary nail, depending on the fracture pattern Other (please specify) OK Question Title * 2. When considering the risk of intraoperative periprosthetic fracture I believe short nails confer greater risk than long nails I believe long nails confer greater risk than short nails I don't believe either device confers more risk OK Question Title * 3. When considering the risk of postoperative periprosthetic fracture I believe short nails confer greater risk than long nails I believe long nails confer greater risk than short nails I don't believe either device confers more risk OK Question Title * 4. When considering blood loss I believe short nails lead to greater blood loss than long nails I believe long nails lead to greater blood loss than short nails I don't believe blood loss differs between long and short nails OK Question Title * 5. When considering time to first mobilization I believe that patients with short nails have lower time to first mobilization than those with long nails I believe that patients with long nails have lower time to first mobilization than those with short nails I don't think there is a difference in time to first mobilization OK Question Title * 6. When considering patient comfort I believe that patients with short nails experience less discomfort than those with long nails I believe that patients with long nails experience less discomfort than those with short nails I don't think there is a difference in discomfort OK Question Title * 7. When considering overall levels of mobility I believe that patients with short nails experience better levels of mobility than those with long nails I believe that patients with long nails experience better levels of mobility than those with short nails I don't think there is a difference in levels of mobility OK Question Title * 8. When considering patients' ability to perform activities of daily living I believe that patients with short nails experience better levels of functionality than those with long nails I believe that patients with long nails experience better levels of functionality than those with short nails I don't think there is a difference in levels of functionality OK Question Title * 9. When considering patients' overall satisfaction with surgery I believe that patients with short nails are more satisfied than those with long nails I believe that patients with long nails are more satisfied than those with short nails I don't think there is a difference in levels of satisfaction OK Question Title * 10. Would you be willing to randomize patients to a pragmatic trial of long vs short intramedullary nails? Yes, I would be willing to randomize No, I wouldn't be willing to randomize I might be willing to randomize, but would be concerned about OK DONE
