[Epidemiology of proximal femur fracture and results of therapy in patients treated at the Orthopedic-Trauma Ward of the Railway Hospital in Warsaw in the years 1986-1990].
A retrospective analysis included 441 hospitalized patients with fractures of the proximal femoral bone, treated at the orthopedic-traumatology ward in 1986-1990. Such patients constituted 9.12% of all patients treated during those years. There were 313 women aged between 26 and 99 years (mean 77.4 years) and 128 men aged between 30 and 95 years (mean 68.3 years). Fractures were more frequent in women than in men (rate 2.4:1). Four hundred four patients (91.6%) were treated surgically. Mortality rate in this group was about 10% whereas in patients treated conservatively--approximately 66%. Locomotive functions were restored in the majority of patients under 80 years of age. Mean hospitalization time was 22 days. Mean cost per patient in zlotys treated surgically was 4.97 million in 1990, and 8.3 million in 1992.
