ABSTRACT

For many years, hip fractures have been identified as one of the most serious health problems affecting older adults. It is well established that as women age, hip fractures are a major cause of morbidity and mortality, and direct medical costs associated with these fractures is estimated at more than $ 20.6 billion each year. Risk factors can generally be divided into those that can not be changed or modified and potentially can be changed or modified. Femoral neck fractures and intertrochanteric account for more than 90% of hip fractures occur in almost equal proportions. A diagnosis of hip fracture is usually set based on patient history, physical examination and plain radiography. In most cases, treatment of these fractures are treated surgically, allowing early mobilization of the patient and reduce complications secondary to prolonged bed rest (respiratory, urinary, deep vein thrombosis, pressure sores, etc).
