Internações Por Fraturas De Fêmur Em Salvador, Bahia

Abstract: As fraturas de fêmur são causadas, principalmente, por traumas de alta energia em indivíduos jovens e adultos e por quedas entre os idosos. Mulheres idosas são mais susceptíveis, devido ao maior risco de osteoporose, já os homens jovens são mais expostos por causa de acidentes. Mediante o quadro exposto, o objetivo da pesquisa foi descrever o perfil epidemiológico dos internados com fraturas de fêmur em Salvador, Bahia, no período de 2003 a 2012. Para tanto, utilizou-se como método um estudo descritivo, retros… Show more

“…One of the most exposed bones to trauma in daily life, the largest and strongest bone in the human body, the femur has most of its fractures consolidated, and having a well vascularized muscular envelope [9]. The present study showed reported cases of accidents due to fall with diagnosis of femoral fractures, within the given period and locality in question.…”

“…In this study, when evaluating the gender variable among the patients treated, there was a predominance of males in the age group of 21-49 years 30.5% (19/63), which is equivalent when compared to the results of Conceição et al, (2016) finding 38.87%, this being the gender most affected by accidents and violence. As for females, the highest prevalence of the age group is between 70 years and over with a percentage of 20.5%, even when compared to the same author, observed discrepancy in results (75.53%), although this large difference in values, we agree that this is the age group with the highest prevalence for women, as the main fracture mechanism is falling from standing height.…”

“…10 Além disso, nota-se que na maior parte dos incidentes de fratura proximal de fêmur envolvendo idosos, um atendimento de alta complexidade se faz necessário, com intervenção cirúrgica e hospitalização prolongada, gerando custos elevados ao sistema de saúde. 11 Nesse sentido, há evidências de uma relação do período decorrido entre a fratura 18,19 Relacionando-se os índices de mortalidade com o gênero dos participantes, observou-se maior mortalidade no sexo feminino encontrada no presente estudo, o que difere de grande parte dos resultados obtidos por estudos prévios, os quais relataram maiores índices de mortalidade em homens. 15,16 A maior prevalência de pacientes com fraturas do fêmur proximal a partir da oitava década de vida condiz com os dados da literatura.…”
