    Abstract

    Background:About half of all hip fractures brought on by low energy mechanisms are pertrochanteric fracture (PTFs). There are several risk factors, such as osteoporosis, female gender, growing age, and abnormal gait. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the functional outcome of the patients with PTFs who underwent dynamic hip screw (DHS) implant. Materials and Methods:This prospective observational study involved 30 adult patients with PTFs who underwent surgery with DHS implant in the Department of Orthopedics of a tertiary care institute. The patients were followed-up at 6-weeks, 1-month, 3-months, and 6-months. Postoperatively, and at each follow-up, clinical and radiological examination was performed. Moreover, at the end of the study, functional outcome was assessed with Harris Hip Score (HHS).
