“…The fracture treatment is surgical in most cases and the longer the patient remains bedbound, the greater the chances of having complications such as infection, deep venous thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism. 4,5 The mean mortality rates, estimated by a recent review, were 5.5% during hospitalization and ranged from 4.7% in the first month, 10.8% in the 6th month to 24.9% in the second year. Advanced age, number of comorbidities, male gender, and presence of cognitive deficits were identified as the main factors related to higher mortality.…”

“…Constatou-se que, na amostra avaliada, o fator de risco para fratura de quadril que apresentou maior registro foi antecedente à queda/fratura óssea. Borges, et al, 2012 Observou-se que as fraturas com localização proximal do fêmur prevaleceram em mulheres idosas (> 60 anos) e tiveram como causa a queda da própria altura, enquanto que predominantemente as fraturas diafisárias acometeram homens adultos jovens com idade até 30 anos em decorrência de acidentes automobilísticos.…”

“…Contudo, o Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) não ampara adequadamente as demandas de saúde desse grupo populacional. Imprescindível haver um acompanhamento clínico mais prolongado e um monitoramento das condições de saúde dos pacientes para evitar o surgimento de comorbidade, principalmente durante as internações hospitalares em que se aumentam os riscos de complicações e os óbitos (Borges, et al, 2012). Borges Segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), entre 28% e 34% das pessoas com mais de 65 anos sofrem quedas, o que se traduz em taxas de hospitalização por lesões que oscilam entre 1,6 e 8,9 episódios a cada 100.000 habitantes (Suelves, Martínez, & Medina, 2010).…”
