55.4%). The types of fracture, in orderof frequencywere: subcapital 126 (38.1%), pertrocanteric 112 (33.7%), persubtrocanteric 31 (9.3%), subtrocanteric 27 (8.1), basicervical 22 (6.6%), others 14 (4.2%).The circumstance that the fracture occurred was taken in 287 cases (86.4%), with the following results: failure 109 (38.0%), slipping 79 (27.5%), stumbling 61 (21.2%) not fall 23 (8.0%), and others 15 (5.2%). Conclusions: 1 — There is a slight predominance of extracapsular fractures, within pertrocanteric which are the most frequent. Within the intracapsular, most are subcapital fractures. 2 — As for the mechanism of fracture, the most frequent were the failure, slip, and stumbling. 3 — Knowledge of these mechanisms is important to implement measures to reduce the incidence of falls and thus hip fracture.
