Abstract :

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Aim of our study was to have Comparative analysis of results and complications of short PFN and DHS in the management of stable trochanteric fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Study included 30 cases of stable trochantric fractures femur which were divided into two groups by RCT type of study design, 15 patients (Group A) were operated with PFN and 15 patients (Group B) with DHS. RESULTS: All fractures united with an average of about 15 weeks (Range:12 to 16 weeks). Most of patients (86.66%) had excellent outcome in DHS group compared to (53.33%) in PFN and some patients (13.33%) had good outcome in DHS group compared to (46.67%) in PFN group. CONCLUSION: inter trochanter femoral fractures, particularly stable fractures can be better and more effectively treated with Dynamic Hip screw
