There is an urgent need to determine whether patients with a femoral fracture affected by COVID-19 have a higher risk of mortality due to infection and to what extent the management tactics of these patients determine the short-term prognosis for their life. The purpose of the study: to evaluate the short-term prognosis of such patients within the current hospitalization and compare it with other groups of patients.Materials and methods. The study included 77 patients with coronavirus infection and low-energy hip fractures. The average age of patients was 78.16+27.5 years, 52 female patients (67.5%) were female and 25 male (32.5%).Results. Of all cases of hospitalization, 17 (22.1%) were fatal, and 60 (77.9%) were discharged from the hospital for outpatient treatment. A total of 39 patients (50.6%) were operated on, and 38 (49.4%) had various contraindications to emergency surgery, and the treatment was conservative. Mortality among operated patients was 2.6% (1 patient), and among patients treated conservatively - 42.1% (16 patients).Conclusions. Low-energy fractures in patients with coronavirus infection are a poor prognostic sign due to high mortality among this group of patients. Due to the severity of the condition or the presence of concomitant pathologies that worsened against the background of the infectious process, half of the patients were unable to receive surgical treatment and received conservative therapy, which worsened the prognosis.
