Dynamic hip/compression screw (DHS/DCS) is one of the most commonly performed surgeries in orthopaedic practice.Sliding barrel plate over the DHS/DCS lag screw is one of the very crucial and at times uncomfortable and time consuming steps of DHS/DCS surgery especially when it comes to inexperienced surgeons and residents.Also in developing countries where not all standard instrumentation is always available,this crucial step becomes more time consuming.Here we present a case report 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.
