Abstract
Intertrochanteric fractures are commonly seen in elderly population. 90% of these occur following a trivial fall. Dynamic hip screw fixation is one of the most common modality of treatment, although intramedullary fixation devices are gaining popularity in recent times, especially in unstable fractures. Dislocation of hip following a DHS fixation of hip is a very rare complication. There are only two case reports which describes dislocation of hip following DHS fixation of an intertrochanteric fracture. Here we present a case of anterior dislocation of hip following DHS fixation of an intertrochanteric fracture. We also discuss about the possible causes of this rare complication, its management and follow up.
