Abstract: Intertrochanteric fractures are more common in the elderly as compared to that in young. These fractures unite readily with conservative line of management as compared to that of neck femur fractures which have an inherent risk of increased complication like avascular necrosis. The study was conducted to evaluate the functional outcome of treating unstable intertrochanteric fractures in individuals using trochanteric stabilising plate [TSP] with dynamic hip screw [DHS]. With prior approval form the ethical committee the study was conducted on the patients admitted in SMIMER, Surat from September 2016 to October 2017 with diagnosed unstable intertrochanteric fracture.
Total 58 patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures were managed with DHS TSP, of which 48 follow up was possible. Loss of follow up was due to death of 8 patients whereas 2 were due to loss of patient follow up. The patients were informed about the study in all respects and informed written consent was obtained from each for the operative procedure and for enrolment in the study. In the study conclude from that for surgeons familiar with the DHS implant system, the modular TSP extension is a safe effective solution to stabilize selected unstable intertrochanteric fractures.
