The Open Orthopaedics Journal 31 Oct 2017 REVIEW ARTICLE DOI: 10.2174/1874325001711011218

Abstract

Aside from the decision-making in how to fix an extracapsular hip fracture, surgeons must be conversant with systems, implants and how to maximize their potential in the shortest operative time. We present a series of steps used in our unit when performing both DHS and intramedullary nail surgery to avoid the commonest problems and maximize our patients’ recovery potential.

Keywords: Extracapsular, Fracture neck of femur, Management, Dynamic hip screw, Extracapsular, Hip fracture.
