Assesment of tip apex distance in intertrochanteric fractures treated with dynamic hip screw
International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences · 2019 · Vol. 5(2) · pp. 1005–1009
Abstract
Fractures of proximal femur account for 30% of all hospitalization for fractures. Most fractures occur in the elderly usually in association with osteoporosis and as a result of only moderate or minimal trauma. Literature suggests, Despite being a great option, the failure chance of DHS fixation is high if negligence made to Tip Apex Distance. This study is to assess the outcome of DHS with regards to Tip Apex distance.
