Intra-operative migration of dynamic hip screw into the pelvis.

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The authors report a rare per-operative complication of intra-pelvic migration of dynamic hip screw, during osteosynthesis of an inter-trochanteric fracture. Possible reasons of migration are analyzed along with the importance of careful execution of the surgical technique to avoid such iatrogenic complications and medico-legal implications.
