ABSTRACT

Fractures of the proximal femur is a pathology of growing importance in older persons, both for the medical consequences that implies, as well as the important social and economic costs caused; they are a serious pathological condition recognized internationally being recently accepted as a public health problem. Mexico as in other parts of the world, are experiencing a demographic and epidemiological transition where the life expectancy at birth has increased significantly so in our country, the number of elderly is increasing; as a result, the number of proximal femur fractures are becoming more frequent because of the osteoporosis-fracture relationship. This transition is evident in our service because year after year the number of admissions has increased progressively and as a result spending on health, day bed, use of resources are higher, being necessary preventive measures as soon as and consider this pathology as a national health priority.
