background:  due to difficulty in obtaining anatomical reduction, management of the unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly osteoporotic patients is challenging. the purpose of this study is to compare the results of hip arthroplasty (total, hemi, or bipolar) with dhs in the elderly patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures.   methods:  we prospectively studied and followed-up ...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this paper is to measure the volume occupied by the most widely used internal fixation devices for treating femoral neck fractures, using the first 30, 40 and 50 mm of insertion of each screw as an approximation. The study aimed to observe which of these implants caused least bone aggression. METHODS Five types of cannulated screws and four types of dynamic hip scre...

We compared the outcome of patients treated for an intertrochanteric fracture of the femoral neck with a locked, long intramedullary nail with those treated with a dynamic hip screw (DHS) in a prospective randomised study. Each patient who presented with an extra-capsular hip fracture was randomised to operative stabilisation with either a long intramedullary Holland nail or a DHS. We treated 9...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this meta-analysis was to find out whether the proximal femoral nail was better than the dynamic hip screw in the treatment of trochanteric fractures with respect to operation time, blood transfusion, hospital stay, wound complications, number of reoperation, and mortality rate. METHODS All randomized controlled trials comparing proximal femoral nail and dynamic hip ...

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) and dynamic hip screw (DHS) in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in order to investigate the significance of internal fixation in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly. One hundred and eight patients admitted with intertrochanteric fractures and treated with PFNA and DHS...

INTRODUCTION Dynamic Hip Screw fixation is currently considered as a standard treatment for pre-trochanteric fractures; however, due to the long-term hospitalization and some other complications, some researchers have proposed intramedullary nailing as the alternative surgical treatment. The aim of this study was to compare and examine the consequences of the using intramedullary nailing method...

Pertrochanteric fractures (PFs) are life threatening due to the prolonged immobilization of elderly patient that affects, indirectly, function most organs. PFs may have an impact on symmetry human body and contribute poor global alignment. The aim study is evaluate functional, pedobarographic radiological outcomes in a group subjects with treated either dynamic hip screw (DHS) or intramedullary...

A dynamic hip screw (DHS) remains the implant of choice for stabilization of trochanteric fractures because of its favourable results and low rate of non-union or hardware failure, but complication rates of the DHS are higher in unstable and osteoporotic trochanteric fractures. The proponents of the dynamic helical hip system (DHHS) report that it has the potential to decrease the cut-out rates...

Objectives: To compare the outcome of DHS (dynamic hip screw) vs cannulated screws in managing fracture neck femur. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial. Duration: 22-06-2021 to 21-12-2021 (6 months) Settings: Department Orthopedic, D.G Khan Hospital, Khan. Materials & Methods: A total 60 patients with fresh femur, 18 years age both genders were included. The DCS group was managed by i...

The goal of this study is to gauge the radiological results and therefore functional outcomes consistent with Parker mobility score patients after using Dynamic hip screw trochanteric stabilizing plate in fixation unstable fractures assess complication. Twenty (ages ranged from 51 70 an average age 64.20 ± 6.338 years, 12 them (60%) were females 8 (40%) males) fracture treated Hip Screw Trocha...
