  Introduction: Pertrochanteric fractures are frequent fractures. They are the prerogative of the elderly, affecting the young man as a result of a high energy mechanism. The complications are sometimes formidable. Different treatments are possible. In some cases, DHS screwplate osteosynthesis easily reduces these pertrochanteric fractures. The main objective of this work was to study the infectious complications and consolidation defects of DHS screw-plate osteosynthesis of pertrochanteric fractures. The secondary objective was to assess functional results. Our hypothesis was that the complication rate was low. Materials and methods: This was a retrospective single-center study including internal fixation by DHS screw-plate (March 2017 to May 2020) excluding patients with severe comorbidity. Results: The series incl.. Read More»
