How common are broken hip injuries in the elderly?

It is quite common for the elderly to sustain a hip injury. When I was younger I was at my grandma's house and he fell down a few stairs and if it had happened to me no big deal, but because it was my grandma they called an ambulance. It is because bones in an older person are usually much more brittle than that of a younger person.
