Resumo: The falls followed by fractures in elderly patients consist in an important cause of morbidity and mortality, being a public health problem, due to the high incidence of cases, their seriousness and socioeconomic cost. They may range from a small lesion to the loss of mobility and even death. This study aimed at analyzing the topographical distribution, from the anatomical aspect, of post-fall fractures in elders registered at the Dr. José Frota Institute, in Fortaleza – Ceará, relating it to the gender, the age group, internment period and possible complications. This was an epidemiological, descriptive and retrospective study based on data collected from documented evidence. The study population was composed of patients over 60, victims of post-fall fractures, attended at the institution, in the year 2004. As results, it was verified that 50.25% of the fractures occurred in the neck of the femur, followed by femoral shaft fractures (15.57%), cranial fractures (12.57%) and radium (9.58%). Approximately 36.5% stayed interned from 1 to 10 days, the majority of the cases being female (55.69%), with predominance of the age group above 81 years old. In males, the most affected age group was that of 76 to 80 years old, comprising 28.38% of the men. From this research, it was possible to delineate a profile of the risk factors of fractures in elderly, allowing studies directed to susceptive groups.

Este estudo teve o objetivo analisar a distribuição topográfica, sob o aspecto anatômico, das fraturas em idosos após queda, registrados no Instituto Dr. Jose Frota, em Fortaleza – Ceará, relacionando com o sexo, faixa etária, tempo de internação e as possíveis complicações. Tratou-se de um estudo epidemiológico, descritivo e retrospectivo com coleta de dados de base documental. A população do estudo foi composta de pacientes acima de 60 anos vítimas de fratura após a queda, atendidos na instituição no ano de 2004. Como resultados, verificou-se que 50,25% das fraturas ocorreram no colo do fêmur, seguido por diáfise femoral (15,57%), crânio (12,57%) e rádio (9,58%); aproximadamente 36,53% permaneceram internados de 1 a 10 dias, a maioria dos casos era do sexo feminino (55,69%), com predominância na faixa etária acima de 81 anos. No sexo masculino, a faixa etária mais acometida foi de 76 a 80 anos, representando 28,38% dos homens. A partir deste estudofoi possível traçar um perfil dos fatores risco de fratura no idoso possibilitando estudos direcionados aos grupos susceptíveis.Universidade de Fortaleza2012-01-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion"Peer-reviewed Article""Avaliado pelos pares""Avaliado pelos pares"application/pdfhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/103110.5020/1031Brazilian Journal in Health Promotion; Vol. 20 No. 4 (2007); 226-232Revista Brasileña en Promoción de la Salud; Vol. 20 Núm. 4 (2007); 226-232Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde; v. 20 n. 4 (2007); 226-2321806-1230reponame:Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúdeinstname:Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)instacron:UFORporhttps://ojs.unifor.br/RBPS/article/view/1031/2191Filgueiras, Marcelo de CarvalhoSantiago, Fred RibeiroSantiago, Hildemberg Agostinho Rocha deVieira, Luiza Jane Eyre de Souzainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2012-01-10T12:18:55Zoai:ojs.ojs.unifor.br:article/1031Revistahttps://periodicos.unifor.br/RBPS/oai1806-12301806-1222opendoar:2012-01-10T12:18:55Revista Brasileira em Promoção da Saúde - Universidade de Fortaleza (Unifor)false
