Treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures: a comparative study of anatomical reduction versus Wayn county reduction fixed with dynamic hip screw [DHS]

ABSTRACT

Background: Unstable intertrochanteric fractures pose a challenging problem. Severe communication in elderly osteoporotic patients renders internal fixation difficult. Several methods, techniques and fixation devices have been advocated for treating these difficult fractures but each one has different rate of complications. The purpose of conduction of this study was to compare the results of Wayn country [valgus] reduction with anatomical reduction by using dynamic hip screw [OHS] in unstable intertrochanteric fractures
