[From the nail/plate to the dynamic hip screw--example of a generation change in implants for para-articular femoral fractures].
In trochanteric fractures of the femur, where operative techniques are preferable to conservative treatment, a change in the choice of implants has taken place over the past years. As several comparative studies show, the traditional system of nail/plate fixation has not been completely replaced by Ender nailing in many surgical departments. The system of nail/plate is, however, losing significance in face of the increasing usage of screwing-systems (such as, for instance, DHS of AO-Dynamic Hip Screw). The possibility of compression during the operation in screwing methods is the decisive factor.
