ABSTRACT
Background:
Intertrochanteric fractures are the most commonly treated fractures by Orthopedic surgeon. Many techniques are described in literature but internal fixation with Dynamic Hip screw is most efficient method.Aim:
The present study was conducted to compare the results of conservative methods and internal fixation with dynamic hip screw in management of intertrochanteric fractures of the femur. Materials andmethods:
This study included 40 patients of intertrochanteric fractures of the femur, out of which 30 patients were treated by conservative methods considered as Group I and 10 patients were treated by internal fixation with Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) considered as Group II. All the results were evaluated by using Kyle’s criteria.Results:
In Group I, 4 (13.3%) cases had excellent results, 6 (20%) case had good results, 20 (66.6%) cases had poor results. In Group II, 8 (80%) cases had excellent results, 6 (20%) cases had good results. In Group I, 73.3% of cases had unstable fractures and in Group II, 80% of cases had unstable fracturesConclusion:
The quality of results was better with internal fixation with dynamic hip screw (DHS) as compared to conservativemethods:
