| OPERATIVE TREATMENT
Mainly apply 4 methods: Sliding hip compression screw (DHS),
Intra-medullary
hip screw (cephalomedullary nail), Hip replacement and Interlocking
plates.
Particularly, the interlocking plates for the proximal femoral head we
have not discussed because so far the results of postoperative
monitoring in many centers have not been good [1].
Sliding hip compression screw (DHS): (Figue 4)
Indicated for cases of fracture type A1 and A2.
For
stable fractures, if reduction and fixation in good quality the
fractures will be healed as well as Intramedullary hip screw.
