Resumen (ES)

We have performed an epidemiologic study on the incidence of proximal femoralfractures in patients older than 50 years, all reviewed in our Hospital from 1990 to 1992.We included 355 patients. Femoral neek fractures were the most frequent lesions. No significantdifferences in the hospital admissions were found during all the year's seasons. The meanage of presentation was 81 years. The incidence rate was similar to the rest of Spain, and lessthan in North Europe, England and United States.
