Sliding barrel plate over the DHS/DCS lag screw is one of t.he very crucial and at times uncomfor- table and time consuming steps of DHS/DCS surgery espe- cially when it comes to inexperienced surgeons and residents. Also in developing countries where not all stan- dard instrumentation is always available, this crucial step becomes more time consuming. Here we present a case re- port of 58-year-old male patient with intertrochanteric fracture, in which we used a new device for insertion of barrel plate over DHS/DCS lag screw and found that a small DHS/DCS lag screw extension (sliding jig of barrel plate) can be very helpful to slide barrel plate over the DHS/DCS lag screw.展开更多
