PRACTICAL ISSUES IN GERIATRICS ORTHOGERIATRIC...

Open access publication has been possible through an unconditional educational grant from UCB.
This new open access edition supported by the Fragility Fracture Network aims at giving the
widest possible dissemination on fragility fracture (especially hip fracture) management and
notably in countries where this expertise is sorely needed. It has been extensively revised and
updated by the experts of this network to provide a unique and reliable content in one single
volume. Throughout the book  attention is given to the difficult question of how to provide
best practice in countries where the discipline of geriatric medicine is not well established
and resources for secondary prevention are scarce. The revised and updated chapters on the
epidemiology of hip fractures  osteoporosis  sarcopenia  surgery  anaesthesia  medical
management of frailty  peri-operative complications  rehabilitation and nursing are
supplemented by six new chapters. These include an overview of the multidisciplinary approach
to fragility fractures and new contributions on pre-hospital care  treatment in the emergency
room  falls prevention  nutrition and systems for audit. The reader will have an exhaustive
overview and will gain essential  practical knowledge on how best to manage fractures in
elderly patients and how to develop clinical systems that do so reliably.
