Dynamic Hip Screw with Trochanter-Stabilizing Plate Compared with Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation as a Treatment for Unstable AO/OTA 31-A2 and 31-A3 Intertrochanteric Fractures

<div>Preoperative and postoperative anteroposterior plain radiographs of a 31A2 fracture treated with DHS+TSP. (a) Preoperative and (b) postoperative anteroposterior plain radiographs of a 31A2 fracture treated with dynamic hip screw + trochanter-stabilizing plate. (b) Postoperative radiographs showing osseous union over the fracture site but greater trochanteric tip avulsion fractures.</div>
