Description
Orthogeriatrics refers to a subspecialty that was created in response to social, clinical and financial requirements for managing patients with fragility fractures. It is a multidisciplinary and integrated approach for the treatment of fracture patients who require surgical intervention. In patients who are unable to walk, hip fracture surgery can be seen as a palliative process with the aim of pain control. The evidence base for hip fracture care is strongest in orthogeriatrics. A mutual understanding, regard and trust of the roles among orthopedic surgery and geriatric medicine are necessary for the delivery of effective orthogeriatric care. It increases the standard of patient care and achieves a suitable level of clinical optimization throughout the perioperative period. It also reduces the length of hospital stays as well as hospital mortality, while achieving significant cost savings in the management of this medical condition. This book covers in detail some existent theories and innovative concepts revolving around the surgical procedures related to orthogeriatrics. Medical professionals and students actively engaged in this field will find it full of crucial and unexplored concepts.
