Frequency of union in cases of subtrochanteric femoral fractures treated by fixation with dynamic condylar screw system

Aim: to find out the frequency of union in cases of subtrochanteric femoral fractures treated by fixation with dynamic condylar screw system. methods: this study was conducted atdepartment of orthopedic surgery,bahawal victoria hospital,bahawalpur from june 2016 to december 2016.total 93 patients of subtrochanteric femoral fractures were selected for this study. results: total 94 patients with subtrochanteric femoral fractures were selected for this study.mean age of the patients was 39.56±15.125 years and mean duration of fracture was 4.10±1.973 days. thirty eight patients (40.4%) were male and 56 patients (59.6%) were female.type a fracture was noted in 17(18.1%) patients followed by type b 46(48.9%) and type c in 31(33%) patients. among the 94 patients,union of fracture was noted in 75(79.8%). conclusion:findings of this study showed a high frequency of union in cases of subtrochanteric femoral fractures treated by fixation with dynamic condylar screw system.significant association of age of patients,duration of fracture and type was noted.
