Abstract
Introduction: Basicervical region of femoral neck consist of that part of proximal femur located just proximal to or along the intertrochanteric line through the base of the femoral neck at its junction with the intertrochanteric region. In our study we try to observe the results of fixation of basicervical fracture neck of femur with dynamic hip screw with derotation screw Methodology: 30 cases of basicervical fracture neck of femur with age >18 yrs were treated by DHS with Derotation Screw(DRS) and followed up regularly Results: Most of the patients were between the age group of 50-60 yrs with male : female ratio being 3:1. In all our cases union was observed and average time for union was 13 weeks. There were 2 cases of superficial infection and 4 cases of non specific hip pain. There was excellent result according to Harris hip score in 73.33% cases. Conclusion: From our study we conclude that DHS with DRS is an effective and safe method for fixation of basicervical fractures of neck of femur with minimal complications.
