Functional Outcome of Tip Apex Distance in Predicting Implant Failure in Intertrochanteric Fracture Femur Treated with Dynamic Hip Screw

Objective: To evaluate the importance of tip apex distance in implant failure intertrochanteric fracture femur treated with Dynamic hip screw, so that optimum should maintain to decrease DHS. Study Design: It was a descriptive cross sectional study. Setting and Duration: Patients were selected from orthopedic unit Nishtar Hospital, Multan, July 2020 June 2021. Methodology: All patients meeting inclusion criteria who presented included analysis. SPSS version 24.0 used analyse data. Quantitative data analysis done using means standard deviations like age distance. Categorical variables gender, functional outcome calculated as frequency percentage. Results: A total 81 mean male 38.51 SD 11.79, similarly female 41.87 11.60. Mean 16.08 8.49, 15.40 9.368. Tip Apex ≤ 25 cm 61 (75.3%) >25 12 (24.7%) patients. As concern variable (implant failure) (14.8%) having 69 (85.2%) successful outcomes. Practical implication: The use Hip Screw Intertrochanteric Fracture Femur would show improved clinical results fewer hardware failures Conclusion: is valuable measurement dynamic screw fixation femur.
