The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics using the IBM SPSS Statistics program. The project was approved by the Research Ethics Committee. Results: In the sample of 144 patients, 97 (67.4%) were older than 60 years, with no distinction between genders. The most frequent trauma mechanism was "falling from one's height", presented by 94 (65.3%) patients. The most common type of fracture was the proximal femur, with 95 (66%) cases. Conclusion: It was observed that fractures of the proximal third occurred in elderly patients, with a predominance of males in cervical fractures and females in trochanteric fractures.
