Comparison of the Dynamic Cut-Out Failure Modes of Common Proximal Femoral Fixation Devices Using a Mesh-Free Computational Method. [PDF]

J Orthop Res
Migration and cut‐out of DHS, Gamma3, PFNA‐II, and TFNA were compared under dynamic loading in a stable intertrochanteric fracture benchtop foam model and a mesh‐free simulation. No significant differences in force at cut‐out were observed, but simulation revealed that the volumes of damaged bone foam were 15%, 32%, and 25% higher for the Gamma3, PFNA,

Patterns of Discharge Analgesic Prescription in Hip Fracture Patients by Label of Cognitive Status: A Retrospective Pilot Study. [PDF]

Health Sci Rep
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Pain relief is known to be under‐prescribed in cognitively impaired patients. Though cognitive impairment (CI) may lead to lower reported pain at times, differences disappear at higher pain levels, where nociception is similar between groups. CI research also exhibits reduced placebo responsiveness in patients.

Measurement of Tip Apex Distance and Migration of Lag Screws and Novel Blade Screw Used for the Fixation of Intertrochanteric Fractures. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Fixation with a dynamic hip screw (DHS) is one of the most common methods for stabilizing intertrochanteric fractures, except for unstable and reverse oblique fracture types.

Unstable Intertrochanteric Fracture Fixation – Is Proximal Femoral Locked Compression Plate Better Than Dynamic Hip Screw [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2016
Background: Intertrochanteric fractures are one of the most common fractures encountered in our practice. Most of them need operative intervention and union is achieved.

Pertrochanteric hip fracture fixation with 3 hole and 4 hole dhs side plates - A retrospective patient record review

Nigerian Journal of Medicine, 2022
Introduction: Dynamic hip screw fixation (DHS) with a 4-hole side plate and 4 bi-cortical screws is considered by many to be the standard implant for extracapsular hip fractures.

Unexpected iatrogenic fracture of the femoral neck during subtrochanteric fracture fixation in a patient on bisphosphonate treatment for osteoporosis: Case report

Trauma Case Reports, 2020
Osteoporotic patients being treated with bisphosphonates present an interesting dilemma when removing hardware such as dynamic hip screws “DHS”. In this paper, we describe the case of a 66-year-old osteoporotic patient who was placed on long term ...

A comparative study of Dynamic Hip Screw and Proximal Femoral Nail in the management of Intertrochanteric Fractures of the Femur

Journal of Society of Surgeons of Nepal, 2021
Introduction: Intertrochanteric fractures account for approximately half of the hip fractures in the elderly because of the osteoporotic nature of the bone. There are various modalities to treat these fractures. The objective of this study was to compare

Pulmonary Embolism Despite Inferior Vena Cava Filter in a Polytrauma Patient: A Case Report. [PDF]

Case Rep Orthop
Case A 39‐year‐old female with Factor V Leiden sustained multiple injuries following a motor‐vehicle collision. A prophylactic inferior vena cava filter (IVCF) was placed prior to fixation of her ipsilateral intertrochanteric and diaphyseal femur fractures the morning after admission. She developed a pulmonary embolism (PE) on postinjury Day 3.

Intra-Pelvic Migration of Sliding Hip Screw During Osteosynthesis of Hip Fracture: A Rare Avoidable Intraoperative Complication. [PDF]

, 2015
Hip fractures, which are common among old patients, are classified into two groups: intracapsular and extracapsular fractures. Extracapsular fractures can be treated with extramedullary implants [e.g.

Evaluation of Outcome of Treatment of Intertrochanteric Fracture with Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS)

Ibrahim Cardiac Medical Journal, 2020
Background & Objective: Intertrochanteric femur fractures are becoming increasingly common as our population ages. Effective treatment strategies that result in high rates of union of these fractures and low rates of complication are important.
