Background:
Intracapsular hip fractures occur frequently, and most of them need operation. But current femoral head removal instruments used in the operation have many disadvantages. We optimized them.
Methods:
We added a sleeve to the cork screw to strengthen the torque created by it. A scale is also added to the joint of the sleeve and the cork screw, which can be used to measure the depth of insertion.
Discussion:
The optimized instrument decreased the risk and saved the time of operation.
