Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical Trial
Fixation of intertrochanteric hip fractures: gamma nail versus dynamic hip screw. A randomized, prospective study.
To compare the efficacy of the gamma nail (GN) to the dynamic hip screw (DHS) in the management of intertrochanteric hip fractures. ⋯ Both the GN and the DHS can be used effectively for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures. In this study the DHS was associated with a lower risk of local complications and should still be considered to be the implant of choice for patients with intertrochanteric fractures.
