Minimal Invasive Dynamic Hip Screw Fixation Technique in Patient with Cardiac Complications: A Case Scenario.

INTRODUCTION

Intertrochanteric fracture comprises nearly half of hip fractures occurring in elderly individuals with osteoporosis. Considering the age group of its population, they are often associated with multiple comorbidities which warrant optimum management with less surgical.

CASE REPORT: This article reports the case of 56-year-old women with in tertrochanteric fracture associated with the cardiac complication restricting operating duration. Minimal invasive dynamic hip screw (MIDHS) fixation technique with modified instruments was performed which facilitated minimizing the operating time and intraoperative blood loss.

CONCLUSION

MIDHS fixation is an important technique for providing the necessary fixation minimizing soft tissue dissection, operating time, intraoperative blood loss and surgical expense without compromising fixation stability, and rehabilitation protocol.
