The goal of this clinical trial is to compare outcomes in the treatment of proximal femur fractures. The main question it aims to answer is whether the use of a double cephalic screw prevents nail failure (cut-out). Participants will be treated using open reduction and internal fixation with a proximal femoral nail. Researchers will compare intramedullary nailing with a single cephalic screw (Gamma nail) and with a double cephalic screw (Chimaera nail) to see the cut-out rate.
