Clinical and Radiological Results of Minimally Invasive Two-Hole Dynamic Hip Screw Fixation of Stable Intertrochanteric Fractures: A Prospective Study of 50 Patients

Abstract Background Intertrochanteric fractures are of elderly population and known for morbidity mortality. Early stabilization with minimal surgical trauma is important early mobilization to prevent recumbence-related complications. Methods This prospective study was conducted on 50 stable intertrochanteric that were managed by fixation a small two-hole dynamic hip screw –(DHS) side plate using minimally invasive technique. The time, intraoperative blood loss, length the skin incision, duration hospital stay, time full weight bearing fracture union, complications recorded. Results mean age patients 60.2 years 64% belonging male sex. operative average incision 35.6 minutes, 68.4 mL, 3.7 cm, respectively. Time bone healing ranged from 10 16 weeks (mean 13 weeks). Two had backout but did not interfere failure fixation. Conclusion Stabilization DHS approach viable option negligible complication rate related plate.
