    Objective: Hip fractures are frequently seen in the elderly and an important reason of morbidity and mortality. We aimed to analyze the accompanying risk factors of the hip fractured patients who have been treated in our university clinic. Material and Methods: The data of 180 patients, who have been treated in our clinic between December 2008 and July 2010, were evaluated. The preoperative activity level of the patients, fracture type, mechanism of injury and patients' co morbid medical diseases were evaluated and compared with preoperative biochemical markers statistically. Results: The study group included 180 patients (72 male, 108 female) with a mean age of 73.9 (24-103). One hundred eighteen of the patients admitted because of intertrochanteric femur fracture, 54 because of femoral neck fractures and 8 because of subtrochanteric femur fractures. Forty-three (24%) patients had no medical co morbidity while 22 had hypertension, 10 had cancer, 7 had cardiac disease, 6 had diabetes mellitus and 75 (42%) had more than one accompanying co morbidity. Conclusion: Mostly low energy injuries cause osteoporotic fractures in women and medical co morbidities also exist. In order to decrease the morbidity and the mortality of the hip fractures, metabolic disorders should be taken under control simultaneously with the fracture treatment.

    FREQUENCY OF HIP FRACTURES ADMITTED TO A UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS
    (Gunes Kitabevi Ltd Sti, 2011) Copuroglu, Cem; Ozcan, Mert; Ciftdemir, Mert; Unver, Kagan Volkan; Saridogan, Kenan
    Introduction: Hip fractures are an important cause of morbidity and mortality. We aimed to analyze the annual rate and demographic properties of the hip fractured patients who were operated in our university hospital. Materials and Method: We evaluated 923 patients ove a 10-year period. Data on age, sex, injury patterns, and types of fractures were evaluated retrospectively. Results: Sixty-eight (7.4%) of the patients had subtrochanteric femur fractures, 513 (55.5%) had inter-trochanteric femur fractures, and 342 (37.1%) had collum femoris fractures. According to years, in year 2000; 41 hip fractured patients were operated, in 2001; 58, in 2002; 48, in 2003; 63, in 2004; 65, in 2005; 121, in 2006; 111, in 2007; 123, in 2008; 154 and in 2009; 139 hip fractures were operated in our clinic. Mean age of the patients were 70.5 years. Five hundred thirty eight of them were females and 385 of them were males. Six hundred forty five of the injuries were due to low energy, the others were due to high energy injuries. Conclusion: Hip fractures are frequent. In order to decrease the morbidity and mortality of the osteoporotic fractures, fracture prevention strategies should be developed and the patients should be returned to their daily activity levels as soon as possible.
