Implants' stability, especially in osteoporosis patients, is a challenging matter. Nowadays, the adoption of cannulated fenestrated screws augmented with polymethylmethacrylate cement (PMMA CSF) is described by some authors. This single-center, retrospective observational study aims to evaluate the long-term effectiveness, reliability, and mechanical performances of this type of screws in osteoporotic fractures.
