Hip fracture is associated with important morbimortality; less than half of the patients go back to the same functional degree. A multidisciplinary approach can enable immediate functional rehabilitation, better treatment of comorbidities and prevention of secondary fractures and falls. Objectives: to describe the casuistry of an Orthogeriatrics unit in a three month period. Methods: Description of demographic variables, previous degree of dependency, comorbidities, medical or surgical occurrences, mortality and destination at discharge. The functional gain was also evaluated. Results. From October/2015 through January/2016, 66 patients were admitted to the unit, after surgical correction of proximal hip fracture. The mean age at admission ...
