Diffrence in Thromboprofilaksis in Elderly Ostoepenic Hip Fractures According to Mobility Status by Genetic Analysis

Hip fracture is a common and severe disease in elderly patients. The question of the study is whether elderly patients with severe osteopenia have significantly lower levels of the collagen-binding protein Hsp47 than relatively mobile patients due to advanced immobility before the fracture, and whether they participants have a similar risk of VTE to the normal population despite having had a hip fracture and surgery.

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.
