 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 15 DHS plus hollow nail in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures [Abstract] Objective To investigate the DHS plus hollow nail treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures and clinical efficacy. Method from January 2003 to October 2006 by DHS plus hollow nail in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures 41 cases. Results after 38 cases were followed up for 6 to 38 months, with an average follow-up of 16 months, all fractures healed. were excellent in 27 cases, good in 9 cases and poor in 2 cases, surgical treatment was 94.7% excellent. Conclusion DHS plus hollow nail fixation is the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures of the effective methods. strictly surgical indications, the appropriate choice of internal fixation devices, the use of standard technical operations, after proper rehabilitation, but also improve the efficacy and reduce complications. [Keywords:] DHS femoral cannulated screw fixation of intertrochanteric fracture Intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly population is common fractures, non-surgical treatment of bed for a long time, complications and higher mortality rate [1]. To open reduction and internal fixation has become the treatment of choice for intertrochanteric fractures, DHS fixed is considered to be the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures of the ideal material, DHS applications are also some problems, if any, patients with abnormal rotation at the fracture site, plus cannulated screw anti-rotation can increase the role of DHS. our department since January 2003 to October 2006, according to type of fracture increases by DHS hollow nail treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures in 41 cases, 38 cases were followed up, clinical results were satisfactory, are as follows. 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 Clinical data The group of 41 patients, 30 males and 11 females, aged 39 to 85 years, mean 72 years. By Evans type, 23 cases, type in 18 cases.
