The state of alarm during 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic changed certain hospital paradigms, prompting an investigation into differences in anesthetic management and patient survival for hip fracture surgeries using gamma nail osteosynthesis in 2020 compared to 2019.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A historical cohort study was conducted to assess morbidity and mortality, with data obtained from anonymized medical records.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Statistically significant differences were found, notably an increase in Body Mass Index during confinement. A statistically significant decrease in leukocyte and hemoglobin levels was observed after surgery. However, there were no statistically significant differences in mortality between 2019 and 2020.
