Medical Conditions - Dynamic Hip Screw

A dynamic hip screw is often used while placing an implant inside the hip joint. It is most helpful for elderly people who suffer hip fractures, mainly due to osteoporosis. Such a screw allows the head of the thigh bone to move in a certain manner, which promotes better bone healing and strengthening.
