Fracture supported by dynamic hip screw

Dynamic hip screw (DHS) or Sliding Screw Fixation is a type of orthopaedic implant designed for fixation of certain types of intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures which allows controlled dynamic sliding of the femoral head component along the construct. The idea behind the dynamic compression is that the femoral head component is allowed to move along one plane; since bone responds to dynamic stresses, the native femur may undergo remodeling and proper fracture healing.
