ABSTRACT
Incidence rates of hip fractures in Latin America continue to rise. These fractures are associated with factors such as health, education, and socioeconomic status. Although there are many well-developed public and private healthcare systems available, the quality and consistency in the management of patients with hip fractures varies substantially. This article provides a summary review of national hip fracture care guidelines in 4 of the largest countries in Latin America (Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, and Argentina), describing national guidelines, audits, standard treatment approaches in each country and regional policies; with the goal of understanding and comparing the different guidelines, identifying the main problems in each country, learning from the policies of the other countries, and developing improvement projects.
