Abstract

Background: hip fracture is a common cause of hospitalization in emergency orthopedic services.

Objective: to characterize the behavior of the operated hip fracture before the 24 hours during January 2012 to January 2014 period.

Methods: a descriptive, prospective, longitudinal study conducted at Abel Santamaria Cuadrado General Teaching Hospital. Target group: 652 patients attending Emergency Orthopedic Room. Sample: 634 operated patients chosen according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Descriptive statistics and chi squared test were used.

Results: 29.2% were between 80 and 85 years old; 65.8% women (χ2 = 64.27; p = 1.08 E-15). Only 14.0% presented no comorbidities; 56.2% suffered from complications: anemia 51.1%, contusion 45.1% and 28.8% diabetes mellitus decompensation; 8.5% of them presented pulmonary embolism.

Conclusions: female patients between 80-85 years old predominated, with frequent comorbidities. More than half had some complication: anemia, contusion and diabetes mellitus decompensation were the most common clinical disorders, on the surgical region cellulitis and wound infection prevailed. Pulmonary embolism remains a high rate.
