The global burden of geriatric hip fractures is enormous. From both
the patient's and physician's perspective, the injury is complex. A
hip fracture often changes a patient's life and/or the life of the
patient's family permanently. From the physician's perspective,
care of geriatric hip fracture patients requires a
multidisciplinary team, which is led by the surgeon and which
includes internists and other subspecialists within internal
medicine, anesthesiologists, nurses, operating room technicians,
social workers, physical therapists, and rehabilitation center
coordinators and staff. Nowhere in the orthopedic literature is
there a text that guides care for these complex patients from
injury through recovery. This text is the first to do so by
organizing and synthesizing a large body of literature. Its main
themes include pre-operative, operative, and post-operative care of
the patient who sustains a geriatric hip fracture. Its main
objective is to organize the current body of literature into a
cohesive whole so that the busy orthopedic surgeon does not have to
undertake a literature search each time he or she wants an answer
to the myriad questions that characterize a patient's injury,
treatment, and recovery course. With regard to pedagogy, because
orthopedic surgeons in training will utilize this book, and because
the case study is the central pedagogical tool in the field of
orthopedic surgery, this book includes case studies within each
chapter, with the author's preferred treatment and decision-making
rationale for each case. Selected video supplements reinforce
real-world application of knowledge. Practicing orthopedic
surgeons, as well as orthopedic residents and fellows in training,
will find Geriatric Hip Fractures: A Practical Approach a highly
useful and informative resource.
