Brief Summary:
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.

Detailed Description:
Randomized, open and prospective clinical trial.
Following the surgical indication for open reduction and internal fixation as treatment for proximal femoral fractures, patients will be randomly assigned (ratio 1:1) to one of the following treatments:
Control group: a Gamma 3 nail (single cephalic screw system) will be used for osteosynthesis of the fracture.
Experimental group: a Chimaera nail (system with double cephalic screw) will be used for osteosynthesis of the fracture.
Patient (or their legal guardian) must provide/sign the informed consent prior to inclusion in the study.
After the surgery, patients will be followed-up at 6 weeks, 3 and 6 months. At those times, data related to the radiological examination, the appearance of complications and the walking ability evaluation scale (FAC) will be collected.
