Geriatric Orthopedics

Today's geriatric population accounts for 8% of the total population. People will live for centuries in a few years when 80 becomes the new 40.  Elderly individuals suffer from a variety of conditions, and fragility fractures present a unique set of issues. The management of geriatric orthopaedic issues presents a variety of complications. Drugs, physiotherapy, and surgery are all ineffective treatment options. A geriatric orthopaedic patient is affected as a whole, rather than individually. In geriatrics, the major goal of orthopaedic treatment is to restore function and independence. It is critical to avoid further worsening and recurrence. It is critical to assess the research agenda for orthopaedic care of older patients at this time.
