Chong et al. (2009) conducted a review in Orthopaedic conditions in the elderly. Orthopaedic-geriatric models of care was evaluated on Functional recovery, length of stay, complications and mortality. Orthopaedic-geriatric models of care showed a trend toward effectiveness in functional recovery, length of stay, complications, and mortality, though heterogeneity precluded pooled data analysis.
