What is DHS plate?

What is DHS plate?

DHS Plate (Dynamic Hip Screw Plate) Specification, Uses, Sizes and Surgical Techniques. The DHS Plate (Dynamic Hip Screw Plate) is designed to provide strong and stable internal fixation of a variety of intertrochanteric, subtrochanteric and basilar neck fractures, with minimal soft tissue irritation.

What is DHS in orthopedic surgery?

Dynamic hip screws (DHS) are a femoral head-sparing orthopedic device used to treat femoral neck fractures. It is sometimes referred to as a pin and plate.

What is the difference between DHS and Hemiarthroplasty?

Compared to hemiarthroplasty, the DHS has been found to have a superior hip functional outcome. However, the DHS has a higher chance of blood loss requiring blood transfusion and complications requiring revisions. Both were comparable for duration of surgery, length of stay in hospital and early mobilisation.

When do you use a short barrel DHS plate?

For DHS blades shorter than or equal to 75 mm, take a DHS plate with short barrel.

What’s the difference between DCS and DHS?

DCS, initially designed for fixation of distal femoral fractures, have also been applied to fix proximal femoral fractures in recent years. DHS is used as “golden standard” for intertrochanteric fractures treatment. The main difference between these 2 implants is the angle of the lag screw with respect to the plate.

What is a DHS surgery?

Dynamic hip screw (DHS) or Sliding Screw Fixation is a type of orthopaedic implant designed for fixation of certain types of hip fractures which allows controlled dynamic sliding of the femoral head component along the construct.

How do you do DHS?

Apply Plate

1. Select a 4-hole DHS plate.
2. Ensure it is sitting flush on the femur.
3. Use the plate impactor to push DHS plate onto bone.
4. Use a 3.2mm drill bit and universal drill guide to drill the distal hole (ensure that sitting fully on bone)
5. Measure screw hole and insert screw.
6. Ensure sitting on bone correctly.

What is Synthes DHS?

Synthes DHS/DCS Dynamic Hip and Condylar Screw System Technique Guide. The Dynamic Hip Screw is designed to provide strong and stable internal fixation of a variety of intertrochanteric, subtrochanteric and basilar neck fractures, with minimal soft tissue irritation.

What is the difference between DHS and PFN?

Conclusion: PFN is better than DHS in type II intertrochanteric fractures in terms of decreased blood loss, reduced duration of surgery, early weight bearing and mobilization, reduced hospital stay, decreased risk of infection and decreased complications.

What is the locking trochanter plate for DHS supplement to do?

The Locking Trochanter Stabilizing Plate for DHS® (no. 281.871) has been designed as an extension to the DHS® plate and serves the following functions: It limits diaphyseal medialisation by fastening onto the greatertrochanter.

Why do you need a DHS hip screw plate?

The DHS plates have a low-profile design, reducing the risk of trochanteric bursitis. The DHS instruments provide direct measurements throughout the DHS procedure, allowing proper reaming, tapping and lag screw insertion depth. The built-in stop and locking nut on the DHS triple reamer prevent over-reaming.

What kind of plate is a DHS plate made of?

The DHS Plate (Dynamic Hip Screw Plate) is designed to provide strong and stable internal fixation of a variety of intertrochanteric, subtrochanteric and basilar neck fractures, with minimal soft tissue irritation. DHS Plate (Dynamic Hip Screw Plate) Specification Plates are made of 316L stainless steel and Titanium.

Can a trochanteric hip screw be used as an augmentation?

Out of 102 cases, 28 were treated with DHS and derotation screw alone (Group A), while in rest 74 cases trochanteric wiring was used as an augmentation to DHS and derotation screw (Group B). Patients were evaluated clinically for range of motion, Harris hip score and Oxford hip score.
