Abstract:
Orthopedic fractures in adults 65 and older are common and can lead to functional decline and increased morbidity and mortality. Falls are often the precipitating event for fractures in this population, linked to common aging physiology with increasing comorbid conditions and advancing frailty. Managing falls and orthopedic fractures in the geriatric population is complex, requiring a systematic and collaborative approach spearheaded by a multidisciplinary team focused on improving patient outcomes.
