OBJECTIVE: to characterize the epidemiological profile of patients undergoing hip replacement, primary or revisional. METHODS: we conducted a retrospective, descriptive study, including hip arthroplasties performed from January 2009 to June 2012 in a Belo Horizonte teaching hospital, Minas Gerais State - MG, Brazil. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. RESULTS: orthopedic procedures represented 45% of the operations at the hospital in the period, 1.4% hip arthroplasties. There were 125 hip replacements, 85 total, 27 partial and 13 reviews. Among the patients, 40% were male and 60% were female. Age ranged between 20 and 102 years, mean and median of 73 and 76 years, respectively. The most frequent diagnosis (82%) was femoral neck fracture by low-energy trauma caused by falling form standing position. In 13 revision operations, 12 required removal of the prosthesis. The infectious complication led to revision in 54% of the time, followed by dislocation (15%), peri-prosthetic fracture (15%) and aseptic loosening (15%). The infection etiologic agent was identified in 43% of occasions. The average length of the prosthesis to a revision operation was eight months. CONCLUSION: patients undergoing hip arthroplasty are elderly, with femoral neck fracture caused by falling form standing position, affecting more women. The incidence of hip prosthesis loosening was 10%. The main cause of the infection was loosening. The incidence of revisional hip arthroplasty was 10% and the incidence of hospital mortality in patients undergoing hip arthroplasty was 7.2%.

“…Alguns equipamentos como tapete antiderrapante e barra de apoio tem estreita relação com a segurança dos idosos e podem prevenir quedas. De acordo com Chianca et al 19 , pessoas de qualquer faixa etária podem sofrer quedas, mas em pessoas idosas este risco é maior e as consequências são significativas para sua condição de saúde, pois poderá acarretar incapacidade, lesão e óbito. Para Cruz et al 20 a idade avançada esta associada ao aumento do risco de quedas.…”

O aumento da expectativa de vida populacional no Brasil evidencia também o número de pessoas que envelhecem apresentando perda da capacidade funcional e aumento da dependência nas atividades do dia a dia. A tecnologia assistiva (TA) se constitui como suporte para que os idosos mantenham a independência e funcionalidade. Os objetivos deste estudo foram: (i) elencar os recursos de tecnologia assistiva utilizados por idosos assistidos em uma unidade matricial de saúde (UMS) no município de Uberaba/MG; (ii) descrever as características sócio-econômicas e as doenças crônicas por eles relatadas e (iii) estudar a área de ocupação – atividades de vida diária e a categoria dos recursos da tecnologia assistiva usados. Participaram do estudo 144 idosos com 60 anos ou mais. Para a coleta dos dados foram aplicados dois instrumentos estruturados idealizados pelos autores. Os resultados evidenciaram utilização de tecnologia assistiva aquém das necessidades para manutenção do desempenho funcional dos idosos, com exceção do uso de óculos. A idade média dos participantes foi de 72,4 anos (±7,8) e houve predomínio de idosos do gênero feminino. Os diagnósticos clínicos relatados foram na maioria casos de hipertensão arterial. Dos participantes, 140 (97,2%) relataram utilizar um tipo de recurso de TA como auxílio em alguma atividade de vida diária.

“…[9] The fall means a risk potential for the elderly, it can cause complications such as underactive, depression, increased morbidity, weakness and fear, inability to maintain balance, giving rise beyond a physical degeneration board also psychological because the individual tends reduce their social participation and interactivity. [32] in this perspective, the fall brings a reduction of well-being and quality of life in old age [33]. in order to minimize the damage resulting from the aging process, the nurse must assist the elderly in order to prioritize the realization of multidimensional evaluation recommended by the Ministry of Health, which covers the tracking of various sizes, particularly about the risk of falls in elderly [9].…”

There were evaluated the balance and the walking through the Tinetti Scale and the data were analyzed using statistical software. The study was approved by the ethics Committee under the advice number 963.157.Results: 60% of the sample presented an average risk for falls, and the average test of balance and walking was lower among older people with a history of falls.
