The clinical results of a novel method for minimal invasive dynamic hip screw fixation of intertrochanteric fractures compared to the conventional one

摘要

Hip intertrochanteric fractures are very frequent. Early mobilization reduces the associated mortality and morbidity rate. DHS is still commonly used in many centers. We describe a new minimal invasive DHS technique (MIDHS) depending on radiological land marks, facilitating the application of DHS in a proper way without the use of an angle guide and we retrospectively compared the functional results of the new technique with that of the conventional DHS (CDHS) technique.
