Epidemiology of Proximal Femural Fractures among the Elderly People of Almaty City.

Background: Proximal femoral fractures are a global epidemiological concern due to their association with mortality and morbidity in the geriatric population.

Methods: We conducted an epidemiological study using hospital registry data to assess the incidence and associated factors of proximal femur fractures among individuals aged 60 years or older living in Almaty City. Student's t-test was used to assess for between-group differences.

Outcomes and mortality after hip fractures treated in Kazakhstan.

Introduction: Patients with hip fractures are usually treated operatively in Western Europe. However, in Mid-Asia different indications are used to decide whether this patient is suitable for operative treatment and those are related to specific traditions and rules in hospital. Thus, traditions and surgeon/patient fears seem to affect treatment choices in hip fractures and subsequent outcomes.
