Background:
The most common traumatic injury among older individuals worldwide is hip fracture. Higher incidence after 70 years old and women (80-85%). Hospital discharges in Mexico have little evidence.
Objective:
Describe hospital discharges from hip fractures in the Mexican public health system from 2013 to 2022.
Material And Methods:
A descriptive study using open data on hospital discharges from the Mexican public health system from 2013-2022, available by the General Direction of Health Information of the Secretary of Health, focused on discharge reports for hip fractures in people aged ≥ 60 years and any sex. The study describes individual variables, hospital discharge, and the federal entities where health care was provided.
Results:
Between 2013 and 2022, there have been 230,060 (2.11%) discharges due to hip fractures in people aged ≥ 60 years within the Mexican public health system; the highest concentration in patients with ≥ 80 years old and women (69.2%). The Mexican Social Security Institute reported the highest number of discharges (n = 126,093), with the highest percentage due to improvement (93.7%).
Conclusions:
Hip fracture is a problem that requires more significant care resources in Mexico.

Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
01:27Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
