Résumé

Intramedullary nailing is a common treatment for pertrochanteric fractures. However, implant-related mechanical failures, such as cut-out and cut-through, lead to higher rates of revision surgery, loss of autonomy, and mortality. Cemented augmentation enhances the bone-implant interface. This study compared the frequency of mechanical failures between augmented and non-augmented Trochanteric Fixation Nail-Advanced (TFNA) nails. This descriptive, retrospective study at a level 1 trauma centre included patients aged > 65 years with pertrochanteric fractures treated by a short augmented or non-augmented TFNA nail. The primary outcome was the comparison of cut-out or cut-through rates between groups at three and six months postoperatively. Of the 181 patients analysed, 103 had augmented TFNA nails and 78 had non-augmented TFNA nails. There were no statistically significant differences between groups in terms of demographic characteristics, AO/OTA classification, or quality of reduction. The failure rate was significantly lower in the augmented group than in the non-augmented group: 1 (0.97%) versus 9 (11.54%) (p = 0.005). At six months postoperatively, there was no significant difference between the two groups concerning functional recovery, as measured by the Parker and EuroQoL 5-Dimensions scores. For patients aged over 65 years, the use of the augmented TFNA nail may reduce the risk of fixation failures such as cut-out.
