Abstract

Abstract:
Introduction: Hip fracture is one of the relatively common problems in orthopedic surgery and also one of the basic problems in the health system. Occurrence of hip fracture in elderly people can cause serious problems and irreversible damage and requires special attention and important support measures. The aim of the present study is to investigate the prevalence and causes of hip fracture in patients over 65 years of age who referred to Amirul Mominin Zabul Hospital in 1401.
Materials and methods:
In a descriptive-cross-sectional study, all patients over 65 years of age with hip fracture referred to Amir al-Mominin Hospital in Zabol in 2011 were selected and evaluated.
Findings:
During the year 1401 in Zabul city, 75 people suffered from hip fracture, of which 54 people (72%) were men. 54 people (72%) lived in the city. 36 people (48%) lived with their spouses, 30 people (40%) lived with relatives and 9 people (12%) lived alone. Among these, 54 patients (72%) had daily activity and mobility, while 15 patients (20%) did not have proper daily mobility and 6 patients (8%) had nurses. In this study, only 3 patients (4%) had a history of previous hip fracture.
