“…Last but not the least, the insertion of cephalomedullary nails is a demanding procedure, and the operative technique is complicated [7][8][9]. We encountered several intraoperative problems, as detailed in the Results section, which is in accordance with the reported literature [1,8].…”

Purpose. To review the results of indirect reduction and mini-incision dynamic condylar screw (DCS) fixation for comminuted subtrochanteric femoral fractures. Methods. 29 men and 14 women aged 25 to 65 (mean, 44) years with comminuted subtrochanteric femoral fractures underwent indirect reduction and mini-incision DCS fixation. Fractures were classified according to the AO classification (10 type 32B and 33 type 32C) and Seinsheimer classification (6 type III, 15 type IV, and 22 type V). Functional outcomes were assessed using the Harris hip score and Merle d'Aubigne score. Results. The mean time to full weight bearing was 11 (range, 8-19) weeks. The mean time to union was 16 (range, 13-22) weeks. There were no cases of non-union or implant failure after a mean follow-up period of 25 (range, 18-30) months. Seven patients had a mean limb length discrepancy of 1.5 (range, 1-2) cm. Two patients had coxa vara and persistent limp. Conclusion.Results of indirect reduction and miniincision DCS fixation for comminuted subtrochanteric femoral fractures are favourable. Proper planning and execution of the technique is required to achieve good functional outcomes and avoid complications. Preservation of vascularity of the medial fragments leads to rapid callus formation and early union and hence avoids implant failure and secondary bone grafting.

For nearly 40 years, extramedullary stabilization using the sliding hip screw and plate has been the standard fixation method for proximal femoral fractures. In patients with stable fractures, this device produces excellent results. However, in patients with unstable fractures, the sliding hip screw and plate is associated with an increased prevalence of complications, particularly cut-out, medialization of the shaft, shortening, and subsequent loss of reduction. For these reasons, there has been a sustained interest in the use of an intramedullary nail to treat proximal femoral fractures. However, intramedullary methods of therapy for trochanteric fractures require extensive operative experience. The incidence of complications, e.g. cut-out, femoral shaft fractures, and the learning curve has resulted in a loss off popularity of these devices in the past. The aim of this overview is to analyze and record the current standards by means of recent papers and to present the experience after intramedullary stabilization of more than 3,000 patients with proximal femoral fractures at our level I trauma center.
