Description
Matsumoto and colleagues check whether adding bone cement makes hip fracture nails hold better in older patients. Their 2026 Geriatric Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation study followed three hundred patients at several Japanese centers. All had upper thighbone fractures fixed with a nail inside the bone, with or without cement support.
No screw cut-out, the main failure being tracked, occurred in the cement group, while four cases appeared without cement. Excess sliding of the screw and overall complications were also numerically less common with cement. No cement-related harm was seen during the study period. Differences were not statistically firm, so the authors call the approach promising for high-risk elderly patients and ask for randomized trials.
