45 year old vegetable vendor fell from his rehri and complained of pain in left hip region. He had a below knee amputation on left side 20 yrs back and was using orthosis for walking. X rays showed a comminuted fracture inter trochanter femur left side. The patient was planned for dynamic hip screw (DHS) fixation of this fracture. The main surgical issue in this case was giving traction to the amputated limb to reduce the fracture intraop and allow DHS plate to be put. Consent was taken from the patient and an intraop Steinmann pin 4.5mm was put in the distal femur on left side. Traction cords were tied to the pin and traction was given. The fracture was reduced and confirmed under image intensifier. The surgery could be completed successfully.
