    Main Results:

    • Early internal fixation of pathological fractures facilitates early mobilization.
    • Total replacement arthroplasty enables a swift return to mobility for osteoarthrosis patients.
    • Medical management of metabolic bone disease is also considered.

    Conclusions:

    • A multidisciplinary team approach is essential for optimal orthopaedic care in the elderly.
    • Timely surgical interventions, such as internal fixation and arthroplasty, significantly improve patient outcomes and mobility.
    • Comprehensive management should include addressing metabolic bone diseases.
