Factors Associated With Failure of Synthesis in the Treatment of Proximal Femur Fractures With Cephalomedullary Nails.

Introduction: Proximal femur fractures are common in older patients and typically require surgical treatment, with cephalomedullary nails being the gold standard device for this approach. This study aimed to identify the factors associated with the failure of cephalomedullary nailing.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 380 patients treated with a cephalomedullary nail between August 2021 and August 2022 in a trauma referral center in Brazil.
