ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Fragility fractures are becoming more common and are leading to significantly increased morbidity and mortality rates.METHOD:
In order to improve the outcome of these patients, they are increasingly being treated from the beginning interdisciplinarily and interprofessionally as part of co-management models. The main contents of these systems are rapid surgical stabilization for rapid remobilization, treatment with standardized paths and regular communication within the team and a well-functioning discharge management. Furthermore, the organization is a key ingredient in secondary prevention of geriatric traumatology.CONCLUSION:
If this system can be implemented as a whole, this will lead to an improvement of the functional outcomes for the patient as well as to cost savings.Palavras-chave
