Overview

Supports functional gains after dynamic hip screw fixation; hypothesis-generating without randomized controls.

Structured PICO

Does dynamic hip screw fixation improve outcomes in patients with intertrochanteric femur fractures?

P
Population
50 patients with intertrochanteric femur fractures, mean age 58.05±7.58 years, 64% male.
I
Intervention
Dynamic hip screw fixation
O
Outcome
Harris hip score up to 18 monthspatient reported

Dynamic hip screw fixation is a reliable procedure for intertrochanteric femur fractures, yielding good functional outcomes as measured by the Harris hip score.
