The subtrochanteric fractures are one of the common fractures that every trauma surgeon come across on daily basis. The most of these fractures are treated either intramedullary device or a side plate. Among side plates, the choice between the implants like DCS and DHS is varied among the different surgeons. We made an analysis of results of Dynamic Condylar Screw with the aim to find out the use of that implant in selective fracture types. Material and Methods: A prospective study during 2014 to 2015 was done in our institute. The study period is 1 year. The patients who opted for surgical treatment only were chosen. They were undergoing surgery under spinal anaesthesia, using fracture table under image intensifier. The position of fracture reduction was checked in anterior posterior and lateral image intensifier views. The post-operative assessment was done at 3weeks, 6 weeks and 3months intervals with regard to radiological union and clinical outcomes. Data was analysed and expressed in terms of percentages. Result: the female to male ratio was 1:1.55. The average age among males is 58years and of females is 54 years. The right side and left side were involved equally (n=28). Most of the patients were injured by fall at home 39.2% (n=11), due to RTA 32.1% (n=9) and 28.5% (n=8) subjects were injured due to self-inflicted road accidents. Limb shortening is most common complication, which is there for 17.85% (n=5) of patients Conclusion: Dynamic Condylar Screw (DCS) provide good fixation for subtrochanteric fractures with better results in terms of stability and fracture union. Procedure has a fewer complication rates if cases were selected carefully.
