Hip fractures are frequent in all life periods due to increase in number and various types of high energy traumas and prolonged life expectancy, and more commonly encountered by surgeons of orthopedics and traumatology. This increased number of phenomena may provoke possible faults, and orthopedics and traumatology surgeons may encounter claims of complaints and lawsuits. The disputes against surgeons regarding hip fractures include compensation claims, criminal proceedings and lawsuits. In our article, examples are presented from cases submitted to the court and an interaction with preventive behavioural model is aimed to reduce disputes, emphasizing the possible precautions, liability of surgeons regarding their attention and care in diagnosis and treatment, and the records and documents that should be kept during this process.
