Results of Dynamic Hip Screw with Trochanteric Stabilizing Plate in Treatment of Unstable Trochanteric Hip Fractures

Treatment of trochanteric and subtrochanteric hip fractures

Dual head screw hip nailing for trochanteric fractures

INTRODUCTION There are limited information and inconclusive results for dual head screw intramedullary hip nails for trochanteric fractures. Therefore, we performed a prospective study to evaluate the healing of fractures, and survival, function, and complications of patients operated with this implant. METHODS We prospectively studied 79 patients (61 women and 18 men; mean age: 84.7 years; r...

Biomechanical comparison of dynamic hip screw and Gamma nail for the treatment of unstable trochanteric fractures: a finite element study

Objectives: To investigate the biomechanical behavior of the femur with two different implant configurations, namely dynamic hip screw and Gamma nail, in the treatment of two types of unstable intertrochanteric femoral fracture. Methods: A 3D finite element model of the intact proximal femur was constructed, from which two types of fractured models (AO classification 31-A2 and 31-A3) were produ...

Early experience of dynamic hip screw with spiral blade and locking side plate for the stabilization of trochanteric fractures.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate early experience with helical hip system in osteoporotic elderly patients with per-trochanteric fractures. METHODS The retrospective study was conducted at Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, and comprised records of patients having low-velocity pertrochanteric fractures who were fixed with spiral blade Dynamic Helical Hip Systemfrom July to December 2014 and were fol...

Radiological and functional outcome in unstable, osteoporotic trochanteric fractures stabilized with dynamic helical hip system

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...
