| Objective To investigate the epidemiological status of hip fracture in eastern Beijing, and to discuss the characteristics of hip fracture and its prevention and treatment. Methods Data of a total of 1354 patients with hip fracture from 2011 to 2018 were collected from three hospitals in eastern Beijing, and the charts were designed for research. The characteristics of hip fracture were analyzed, and the significance of prevention and treatment was discussed. Results A total of 1354 patients had hip fractures, including 474 men and 880 women, with a ratio of 1:1.86; 342 patients were in the age group of 65-74 years, accounting for 25.26 %, and 527 patients in the age group of 75-84 years, accounting for 38.92 %. There were 592 cases of femoral neck fracture and 762 cases of intertrochanteric fracture, with a ratio of 1:1.29. Causes of injury: 1173 cases were because of falls, accounting for 86.63% of all patients with hip fracture. There were 128 cases of falling injury, and the ratio was 9.45%. There were 53 traffic accidents and other injuries, and the ratio was 3.91%. Fall is the main cause of injury. Conclusion Hip fractures are more common in women than men between the ages of 65-84 years, and emphasis should be given on falls prevention and osteoporosis. |
