Influence of Cemented Cephalic Augmentation on the Outcome of Intramedullary Nailing in Pertrochanteric Hip Fractures

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if small modifications in the surgical technique for the treatment of some kind of hip fractures, improve the result of the surgery. This small modification includes the addition of surgical bone cement to part of the intramedullary nail used in the surgery, to find out if it provides more stability to the construct and represents an improvement in the surgery result. The main question it aims to answer is: Does the addition of bone cement produces a decrease in complications related to mechanical failure of the implant used in the surgery and a decrease in the need for re-operation? Researchers will compare adding this bone cement to the standard surgical technique without it. Patients will: * Be randomly assigned to a group that will have surgery following standard protocol or to a group that will have surgery following standard protocol but adding bone cement to the construct. * Receive standard care for these fractures during hospitalization and posterior follow-up checkups for a year.
