Resumen (ES)

We have performed an epidemiologic study on the incidence of trocanteric fractures
in patients older than 65 years treated at the traumatology unit of the University Clinic Hospital
of Zaragoza from 1980 to 1993, insisting on last four years. We have valued age, sex, injurycausing,
clasification. length of hospital stay, delay in treatment, in-hospital mortality and morhility.
We have observed that injury causing hip fractures were minimal. Gradual inversion in the
neck/trochanteric ratio was also detected. In general, we confirmed the high incidence in the population
with risk of hip fracture, considering this type of fracture as the epidemy of future.
