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.
年龄是发生脆性骨折的主要风险因素之一。年龄金字塔显示人口老龄化程度日益加深，骨折发生率不断上升，未来的预测着实令人担忧。有必要采用明确的老年骨科模式，在预防和护理层面妥善处理这些尤其高危的患者，以应对这一临床挑战。本综述的目的是分析处理有骨折风险的老年患者的不同策略的疗效。
