ABSTRACT

Las fracturas del fémur proximal, secundarias a caída de su altura, pacientes posmenopáusicas con osteoporosis, es un acontecimiento de fecuencia relativa. El médico tratante debe estar preparado para los eventos tanto pre como postoperatorio que suelen ocurrir. Se propone la creación de un Grupo de Atención Geriátrica (GAG) que enfoque los problemas médicos de este grupo de pacientes y sobre todo que tenga conocimiento de la osteoporosis, su dignóstico y tratamiento médico, para prevenir una nueva fracturas. Una vez que egresa del hospital se debe indicar una densitometría doble foton (DXA) e iniciar el tratamiento para la osteoporosis dos semanas luego del egreso y hasta el momento el ácido zoledronico es el único que ha demostrado que disminuye el riesgo de mortalidad y nueva fracturas.


A fracture of the proximal femur secondary to drop height in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis is a relative frequency of occurrence. The treating physician must be prepared for both pre-and postoperative events that do occur. It proposes the establishment of a Gerietric Care Group (GAG) that approach the medical problems of this group of patients and especially with knowledge of osteoporosis, its diagnosis and medical treatment to prevent a new fracture. Once discharged from the hospital should indicate two-photon densitometry (DXA) and initiate treatment for osteoporosis two weeks after graduation and until zoledronic acid is the only one that has been shown to decrease the risk of mortality and new fracture.
