Intertrochanteric fracture neck treatment with percutaneous dynamic hip screw fixation technique: understanding outcomes in elderly patients

Journal of University Medical & Dental College
Background and Objective: Femur fractures result in a high rate of mortality and morbidity. Objective was to compare effectiveness of percutaneous dynamic hip screw fixation technique (PC-DHS) and conventional open dynamic hip screw (DHS) in terms of

3066 consecutive Gamma Nails. 12 years experience at a single centre [PDF]

, 2010
Background Fixation of trochanteric hip fractures using the Gamma Nail has been performed since 1988 and is today well established and wide-spread. However, a number of reports have raised serious concerns about the implant's complication rate.

Limb salvage in multiple revision total knee arthroplasty using customised implants: When sleeves and cones are no longer an option

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Purpose Multiple revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA) remains highly challenging due to severe bone defects, which often render standard implants unsuitable. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes, survivorship and complication rates of customised knee implants used in aseptic one‐stage rTKA for patients with severe bone defects.

Evaluation of Results of Unstable Intertrochanteric Femoral Fracture Fixation by Proximal Femoral Nail "PFN " Versus Dynamic Hip Screw

SVU - International Journal of Medical Sciences
Background: The most common implant used for intertrochanteric fractures is the dynamic hip screw (DHS). For the treatment of unstable fractures, cephalo-medullary devices are recommended, especially in cases where medial buttressing is absent.

Dynamic Hip Screw Compared to Condylar Blade Plate in the Treatment of Unstable Fragility Intertrochanteric Fractures [PDF]

Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal, 2009
Dynamic hip screw (DHS) fixation is considered standard treatment for most intertrochanteric fractures. However, excessive sliding at the fracture site and medialisation of femoral shaft may lead in fixation failure.

A Biomechanical Study Comparing Helical Blade with Screw Design for Sliding Hip Fixations of Unstable Intertrochanteric Fractures

The Scientific World Journal, 2013
Dynamic hip screw (DHS) is a well-established conventional implant for treating intertrochanteric fracture. However, revision surgery sometimes still occurs due to the cutting out of implants.

Delayed Peri‐Implant Trochanteric Femoral Fractures After Intramedullary Nailing: Surgical Challenges in an Aging Society: A Two‐Case Report [PDF]

Case Reports in Orthopedics
Introduction Fractures, including peri‐implant femoral fractures, are increasing in aging populations. We present two trochanteric femoral fractures post–intramedullary nailing (IMN), highlighting preoperative planning for refracture risks and implant removal. These cases highlight potential surgical challenges in aging societies.

Management of Hip Arthroplasty for Intertrochanteric Fractures Under the Treatment Concept of Periprosthetic Fractures

Orthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 11, Page 3089-3099, November 2025.
Anatomical images of the front (A) and back (B); the black lines indicated the muscles. One cable in “figure‐of‐eight” and another looped over the lesser trochanter were across the muscles to maintain reduction and resist traction. ABSTRACT Objective Intertrochanteric fractures (IF) in the elderly are often complicated by osteoporosis and high rates of

The prognostic value of tip-to-apex distance (TAD index) in intertrochanteric fractures fixed by dynamic hip screw

Orthopedic Reviews, 2012
Intertrochanteric fractures (ITFs) are the most common type of fractures requiring surgical intervention. They also have the highest surgical mortality among orthopedic operations.
