Best Answer

The Gamma nail transmits weight closer to the calcar than does the DHS and it has greater mechanical strength. DHS frequently causes shortening of the abductor muscle group, this is no the case with the Gamma3 nail, where abductor muscles maintain their length. The Gamma3 enters at the insertion point of the Gluteus Medius muscle leaving the Gluteus Minimus muscle untouched, the Gluteus Medius will have a small longitudinal incision on it that does not need to be repaired, and it heals nicely. The Vastus Lateralis muscle is also left unharmed. The Gamma3 stops sliding that comes so often with trochanteric fractures.
