| Resumo: | <p><b>INTRODUCTION:</b> The population around the world is aging. With this, there will be an increased incidence of fractures due to osteoporosis of the hip and this will be a serious global health problem. A World Health Organization (WHO) estimate suggests that the incidence of hip osteoporotic fractures worldwide will triple by 2050.<br> <b>OBJECTIVE:</b> To present, through a literature review, the main results of the femoral reinforcement, a technique described by scientific articles, with the potential to increase the proximal femoral load for the occurrence of fractures, whether using polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), phosphate cement calcium (CPC), (j elastomers and metal implants.<br> <b>METHODS:</b> Through electronic search in databases PubMed, Latin American and Caribbean Center of Health Information Information (Bireme), Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (Capes), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Google Scholar And Cochrane, using the terms cementoplasty and femororplasty, the studies were selected according to a specific inclusion criterion, describing the main findings of the biomechanical results, type of study and material used to perform the femoral reinforcement.<br> <b>RESULTS:</b> Of the 15 articles analyzed, 14 were experimental analyzes and one was a clinical trial, seven studies used PMMA, two used CPC, four elastomers and two metal implants, 13 of them showed favorable Newton load (N) results for the fracture hip.<br> <b>CONCLUSION:</b> Most of the studies on femoral reinforcement is experimental, and mostly used the PMMA, presenting an increase in the load in N for fracture occurrence.</p> |
