TABARES NEYRA, Horacio Inocencio; TABARES SAEZ, Horacio; MATERNO PARRA, Yuri  y  MORALES SEIFE, Roberto. Fractures of The Upper End of the Femur Due to Fragility. Co-Management Principles. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2022, vol.36, n.2  Epub 01-Jun-2022. ISSN 1561-3100.

Introduction:

The rapid growth of the geriatric population is coupled with the increase in fragility fractures. This creates the need for a comprehensive program for the treatment of the elderly patient with fragility fractures and fractures of the upper end of the femur. Orthogeriatric co-management models are used in many countries.

Objective:

To present the different models of orthogeriatric care and to analyze the model of co-management of geriatric patients with fragility fractures, mainly fractures of the upper end of the femur.

Methods:

A search was made in the PubMed database of works published in the years 2010-2020 with the terms "orthogeriatric care models", "co-management of geriatric orthopedic patients", "co-management of fragility fractures" and "co-management orthogeriatric in fractures of the upper end of the femur”.

Conclusions:

The co-management model for fragility and proximal femur fractures results in a shorter hospital stay, lower readmission and complication rates, and a lower-than-expected mortality rate, thus offering many benefits for patients, doctors and health system.

Palabras clave : fragility fracture; orthogeriatric management; co-management; fractures of the upper end of the femur.
