Abstract
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the development of dynamic hip screw (DHS) internal fixation in the treatment of intertrochanteric femur fractures.
METHODS:
The latest relevant articles were reviewed extensively, including biomechanics and clinical application research.
RESULTS:
DHS is the effective selection for the treatment of intertrochanteric femur fractures, especially by the innovation of DHS structure, operative manipulation.
CONCLUSION:
Treatment of intertrochanteric femur fractures with DHS is still a gold level, but strict selection of patients, proficiency operation and invasive manipulation are the most essential principles.
