RESUMO
Age is one of the principal risk factors for development of frailty fractures. Age pyramids show a population that is becoming increasingly more elderly, with an increasing incidence of fractures, and the forecasts for the future are truly alarming. Adequate handling of these patients who are especially at risk, at both the preventive and care levels, with a well-defined orthogeriatric model is necessary to respond to this clinical challenge. The objective of this review is to analyze the efficacy of the different strategies for the handling of geriatric patients with fracture risk
La edad es uno de los principales factores de riesgo para desarrollar una fractura por fragilidad. Las pirámides de edad muestran una población cada vez más envejecida y la incidencia de fracturas es cada vez mayor, siendo las previsiones para el futuro verdaderamente preocupantes. Un adecuado manejo de estos pacientes de especial riesgo, tanto a nivel preventivo como asistencial con un modelo ortogeriátrico bien definido se hacen necesarias para hacer frente a este reto clínico. En esta revisión queremos realizar un análisis de la eficacia de las diferentes estrategias de manejo del paciente geriátrico con riesgo de fractura
