The Double Dynamic Martin Screw (DMS) Adjustable Implant System for Proximal and Distal Femur Fractures /

The scope and importance of hip fractures is almost incomprehensible. With a world wide incidence of close to 2 million cases per year, theses fractures pose a daunting challenge to our ability to affect and treat this epidemic. Basics for operative treatment of proximal and distal femur fractures:...
