Subtrochantric Femoral Fracture And Dynamic Condylar Screw-Institutional Study
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Traumatology & Surgical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Subtrochanteric fracture accounts for 10-15% of all fractures, 10-34% of all hip fractures and 7-10% of proximal femoral fractures.1The main aim of subtrochanteric femur fracture management is restoration of optimal function, early rehabilitation in the shortest time by the most reliable and the safest method in our hand.This prospective study aimed to assess the functional outcome of subtrochanteric femur fractures fixed with Dynamic Condylar Screw. Patients were selected as per our Inclusion Criteria and Follow up visits were planned at the interval of 4 weeks for a minimum of 10 months. Union was seen within 20 weeks in 15 patients (68.2%) and within 28 weeks in 5 of the patients (22.7%).another 2 (9%) patient took average 2 week for union.Use of DCS for fixation of subtrochanteric femur fracture gives variable functional outcome especially in Seinsheimer type IIIA subtype. It took longer operative time, more blood loss which accounts for higher infection rate and more time to union, need to be randomized study in large study group to analysisout come of DCS in sub trochanteric femur fracture.
