Pertrochanteric fractures are increasing and
their operative treatment remains under discussion. Failures
needing reoperations such as a cut-out are reported to
be high and are associated with multiple factors including
poor bone quality, poor fracture reduction and improper
implant placement. The PFNA® with perforated blade
offers an option for standardized cement augmentation
with a PMMA cement to provide more stability to the
fracture fixation. It remains unclear if the augmentation
of this implant does any harm in a longer time span. This
prospective multicenter study shows clinical and radiological
results with this implant with a mean follow-up time of
15 months.
