Sadık and Durak, Kemal}, keywords={intertrochanteric femur fracture, calcar replacement partial hip prosthesis, dynamic hip screw}, abstract={Between June 2001 and September 2005, 71 patients were operated because of intertrochanteric femur fracture using calcar replacement partial hip prosthesis or dynamic hip screw (DHS) in University of Uludag, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology. Thirty-four patients that were operated using DHS were included in Group I. In Group II there were 37 patients with calcar replacement partial hip prosthesis. During the follow-up period 9 patients from Group I and 12 patients from Group II died. So, the results of 25 patients were evaluated in each group. Age, sex, injury mechanism, fracture type, degree of osteoporosis, time to operation, time of operation, amount of bleeding, early and late complications, time of hospitalization, mortality rates and functional results of all patients were comparatively evaluated. As a result; there were not any superiority of both techniques over each other in complication and mortaliy rates and functional results. Also, time to operation did not affect the mortality rate. The amount of bleeding was lower in DHS group than calcar replacement partial hip prosthesis group.}, number={2}, publisher={Bursa Uludağ University}
