From: Autogenous fibula graft and cannulated screw fixation to cephalic cut out after DHS fixation: a retrospective study

Fig. 1

a DHS fixation of femoral intertrochanteric fracture failed. DHS screws appear cut and the nail tail protrudes from the femoral head. The length of the limb becomes shorten and the neck dry angle smaller. b Autogenous fibula graft and cannulated screw fixation to cephalic cut out after DHS Fixation. Fracture reduction will be performed after DHS is removed. Measure and correct the required fibula length to match the diameter of the remaining nail canal. c Femoral intertrochanteric fracture reduced again. Hip varus recovers well and the hollow nails are in a good position
