Key result
Expanding orthogeriatrician care in fragility fractures reduces post-operative complications and improves patient outcomes.
Why the study?
The role of orthogeriatricians has expanded beyond fragility hip fractures to include various fractures and pre-operative care for elective surgeries, necessitating updated insights.
The role of orthogeriatrics is expanding beyond hip fractures to include other fragility fractures, major trauma, and pre-operative optimization for elective surgeries, aiming to reduce complications and improve recovery.

Supports expanding orthogeriatric care to non-hip fractures and elective surgery; leaves open prospective evaluation of outcome benefits.
Aw et al. (2014) conducted a review in Fragility fractures and major trauma in older adults. Orthogeriatric care was evaluated. The expanding role of orthogeriatricians in managing various fragility fractures and optimizing pre-operative care reduces post-operative complications and improves patient outcomes.
