The Dynamic Hip Screw is used for various hip and femur fractures, starting from intertrochanteric hip fractures. It is a fixation device made of a plate, lag screw, and side screw.
A Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS), or sliding hip screw, is an orthopedic device used to stabilize proximal femur fractures, particularly intertrochanteric fractures, by allowing controlled sliding of a lag screw within a barrel plate. This mechanism promotes compressive healing, allowing the bone to bear weight and improving mobility. It is a standard treatment for stabilizing fractures.
