title: [The dynamic condylar screw (DCS) in proximal femoral fractures. Initial experiences].
abstract: Beginning January 1st 1987 19 fractures of the proximal femur were stabilized utilizing the "dynamic condylar screw" (DCS). During or after reduction of the fracture the DCS is accomplished by a supporting plate. In the cases we applied the DCS hitherto employment of a bone distractor of complementary cancellous bone graft has been mandatory. Although we feel encouraged by our preliminary results the DCS will have to undergo arduous clinical trial.
