Biomechanical comparison between standard and inclined screw orientation in dynamic hip screw side-plate fixation: The lift-off phenomenon

Journal of Orthopaedic Translation, 2019
Background: Common failure modes of dynamic hip screw are cut-out and lift-off. To minimize the latter, distal screws can be inserted in different orientations. However, the effectiveness remains controversial.

Outcome of the Dynamic Helical Hip Screw System for Intertrochanteric Hip Fractures in the Elderly Patients

Geriatric Orthopaedic Surgery & Rehabilitation, 2012
Introduction: The dynamic helical hip system (DHHS; Synthes, Paoli, Pennsylvania) differs from the standard dynamic sliding hip screw (SHS) in that in preparing for its insertion, reaming of the femoral head is not performed, thereby preserving bone ...

Mean Tip Apex Distance in Patients undergoing Dynamic Hip Screw Fixation for Pertrochanteric Fractures without using Traction Table: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study

Journal of Nepal Medical Association, 2022
Introduction: Dynamic Hip Screw fixation has shown to be equally effective compared to cephalomedullary nailing. The effectiveness of dynamic hip screw fixation for pertrochanteric fractures without using traction table is not well investigated.
