Abstract
Hip fractures in the elderly is a health problem of first magnitude, with an incidence which is increasing exponentially. The surgery of these fractures, despite progress in recent years in terms of surgical and anesthetic techniques, the widespread use of thromboprophylaxis and better medical cares, remains a high risk procedure in terms of morbidity and mortality.
