Abstract: Treatment of patients with fractures of the proximal femur is an important problem in modern traumatology. Hip fractures are more commonly associated with osteoporosis. Elderly and senile people make up a significant proportion of patients with fractures. Arterial hypertension (AH) in the elderly population is a disease with a high prevalence. When treating fractures of the proximal femur, it is necessary to take into account the features of reparative osteogenesis characteristics of patients with concomitant arterial hypertension. Medicines used to treat hypertension have a beneficial effect on bone tissue. Pharmacological correction of hypertension in these patients is essential to optimize fracture healing.
