[DHS (Dynamic Hip Screw)-osteosynthesis in the management of femoral fractures in the hip region and the place of this method in the treatment of such injuries].
In the last four years we performed 182 osteosynthesizes with Dynamic Hip Screw, besides other methods on the fractures of the hip region. Here we are presenting the evaluation of our results, which, regarding the international scene, fall into the medium category. The operations were performed within three days after the injuries in 61 per cent of our patients. Our results are good in 80 per cent of our patients. The incidence of method-specific complications is 15 per cent in our statistics/such as wound haematomas, local infections, cut out of the device of the femoral head, metal failures, the fracture of the femur at the site of the introduction of the device). The rate of complications is 30 per cent in case of Ender nailing. More than a 1 cm shortening in the fracture after weight bearing was observed in the 47 per cent of our DHS cases. Patients who are complaining of pain during weight bearing belong to this group. In accordance with other authors, we consider the DHS osteosynthesis, due to its high stability, the best technique in case of unstable pertochanteric fractures of elderly patients. We recommend the angular plate fixation to the pertrochanteric fractures in young patients, in whose case it requires a more accurate reposition and who are able to walk without weight bearing. We can achieve good results with Ender nails in case of stable pertrochanteric fractures of elderly patients.
