“…6 Fractures of the femoral proximal end in an aged population is a public health problem throughout the world. 7,8 In addition to a high mortality rate, these patients require intensive healthcare and functional rehabilitation for long periods. 2 For 2050, the World Health Organization estimates an annual incidence of 6.26 million fractures.…”

Objectives: To assess the functional capacity evolution and the physiologic score in patients with proximal femoral end fractures, as well as to compare the final results of the treatment provided to the several pre-fracture variables. Materials and Methods: A prospective study with patients over 40 years old diagnosed with proximal femoral fracture. The patients were submitted to a pre-established protocol and followed up on an outpatient basis for a period of one year. Results: 68 patients were assessed (27 men and 41 women), with a mean age of 75,84 years. 83,82% were submitted to surgical treatment. The early mean physiologic score was 17,16 points All authors state no potential conflict of interest concerning this article

“…El predominio del sexo femenino (tres de cada cuatro casos) y el aumento prácticamente exponencial, de la incidencia por grupos de edad está ampliamente descrito en la literatura (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). Este aumento por grupos de edad se observa también analizando separadamente cada una de las CCAA (Datos no mostrados).…”

“…In Finland, Kannus et al observed that hip fracture rates adjusted for age in subjects over 50 years of age, 20% of women and 6% for men between 1997 and decreased 2004 18,19 . Meanwhile, in Denmark, Abrahamsen reported that in patients over 60 years the incidence of hip fracture between 1997 and 2006 was reduced by 20% in both sexos 20 .…”

SummaryOsteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease and the main effector of the development of fractures in people over 50 years. When analyzing the evolution of the incidence of hip fracture it is important to consider the effects of the implementation of the strategies undertaken to prevent and treat early forms of disease and falls. In most chronic diseases with an environmental etiological component, identified or not, an interval of several decades occurs between initial exposure to the main causative agent and the clinical onset of the disease. The systematic study of the secular trend of a disease shows different phenomena that help to understand its pathogenesis. At the same time, it constitutes an activity of surveillance that allows warn about its future relevance. The evolution of the incidence rate of hip fractures has not been uniform over time in different countries. It is a matter of great interest to identify whether the observed temporal changes in rates are associated with an aging population or the result of a large number of circumstances of the same population over time. In this paper we review the main studies published around the world that explore, in greater or lesser extent, in the analysis of the secular trend in the incidence of hip fracture in order to bring this concept to the reader and offer an overview on the evolution of the incidence of hip fracture and the causes of this evolution.
