Treatment Options
Surgery was recommended to the patient because of the
gross displacement of the fracture and the likelihood
for a poor result with non-operative treatment. Surgical treatment
options include:
Open reduction and internal fixation with a plate
Antegrade nailing with a trochanteric nail
Antegrade nailing with a cephalomedullary nail
Options for plate fixation include:
Fixed-angle devices such as the 95-degree blade plate or dynamic condylar screw (DCS)
Higher angle sliding device such as the dynamic hip screw (DHS)
