Abstract:
The successful implementation of a geriatric fracture program is dependent on engaging a multidisciplinary team. The goal of these programs is to address the unique needs of patients with geriatric fracture by providing the support necessary for return to their prefracture level of activities of daily living. Identifying the key stakeholders and clarifying their role in pre- and postoperative patient support are vital to the development of such an initiative. The purpose of this article is to discuss the steps to plan and implement a geriatric fracture program in a hospital and lessons learned from our experience initiating such a program.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
