UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION In slipped capital femoral epiphysis the femoral neck displaces relative to the head due to weakening of the epiphysis. Early recognition and adequate surgical fixation is essential for a good functional outcome. The fixation should be secured until the closure of the epiphysis to prevent further slippage. A slipped capital femoral epiphysis should not be confused wit...

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...

The authors report a case of secondary femoral fracture through the sliding hip screw portal following fixation of the femoral neck fracture. The femoral neck and subtrochanteric fracture was successfully treated by superimposing a trochanteric stabilization plate (TSP) onto the regular sliding hip screw.
