This pilot study analyzes the telephone follow-up compared to the conventional treatment in the elderly in the postoperative period of thigh and hip surgeries. He observed a clinical reduction between the first and last evaluation for "loss of appetite without nausea," "difficulty to move" and "fatigue". There was a tendency for "pain" and "postoperative infection at the incision site to drop." Intervention activities carried out through the telephone are accessible to the population, with good adherence and low cost.
