This review summarizes surgical management for geriatric fractures and highlights the importance of early mobilization and understanding sarcopenia.

Geriatric fractures pose increased risks, such as fixation failure and complications, impacting recovery outcomes.
Factors like sarcopenia and osteoblast apoptosis complicate surgical interventions, leading to higher rates of nonunion.
Early mobilization significantly enhances patient outcomes, despite potential risks in certain fracture types.
Ongoing review of treatment strategies is essential to address the multifactorial challenges presented by aging patients.

Mau et al. (2025) studied this question.
