Forty-one patients with intertrochanteric fractures were treated with dynamic hip screw (DHS) fixation by either a mini-invasive technique or the conventional technique. The final outcomes were evaluated 12 months postoperatively using radiography and the Harris hip scoring system. A Student t-test was used for comparison of hip score, wound size, mean hemoglobin drop, hospital stay, and total analgesic use. The mean hip score of the mini-invasive group was 94.8 points and that of the conventional group was 96.5 points (p=0.67). Patients who received mini-invasive treatment had a significantly smaller wound size (p<0.001), lower hemoglobin level drop (p<0.001), shorter hospital stay (p=0.048), and used less meperidine (p<0.00l). In conclusion, fixation of the intertrochanteric fracture with DHS by the mini-invasive technique has many advantages over the conventional technique.
