Abstract

INTRODUCTION. The femoral neck fracture constitutes a health problem worldwide, with urinary tract infection being a frequent complication in older adults. OBJECTIVE. To determine the demographic variables and identify the main infectious complications before and after surgery in older adults with a femoral neck fracture. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Observational, descriptive and retrospective study, with a population equal to the sample of 310 data from Medical Records, of hospitalized patients in the Traumatology and Orthopedics Unit of the Carlos Andrade Marín Specialty Hospital during the period april 2018 to february 2019. Inclusion criteria: people over 65 years of age, with a pre-surgical diagnosis of a femoral neck fracture. Exclusion criteria: under 65 years old with pathological fracture of the femoral neck. The data were taken from the AS400 system, the tabulation and analysis was carried out in the statistical programs Microsoft Excel and International Business Machines Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 20. RESULTS. Complications were infections: urinary tract 14,19% (44; 310), lower respiratory tract 3,23% (10; 310) and the less common upper respiratory tract 0,33% (1, 310). DISCUSSION. This study found urinary tract infections as the first cause of complication in total hip arthroplasty, similar to other investigations in Latin America. CONCLUSION. Urinary tract infection was identified as usual in pre and postoperative femoral neck fracture patients, while upper respiratory tract infection was less frequent in preoperative and sepsis in postoperative.
