Interdisciplinary consensus on the care of elderly patients with hip fractures based on an orthogeriatric approach
This consensus was prepared by a group of experts from various specialties in the interests of improving the quality of specialized medical care for elderly and old age patients with hip fractures, which are almost always the result of osteoporosis and an increased risk of falls. Difficulties in the treatment of this category of patients are due to both the severity of the injury itself and comorbidity, which is accompanied by high mortality and extremely low quality of life for survivors. Effective management of such patients is possible only with the joint involvement of doctors and nurses of surgical and internal medicine and geriatric profiles within the framework of the so-called orthogeriatric approach. Experts in the field of traumatology and orthopedics, anesthesiology and intensive care, geriatrics, rehabilitation, clinical pharmacology, therapy, rheumatology and endocrinology based on the available clinical recommendations and orders of the Ministry of Health Care of the Russian Federation, literature data and general discussion formulated the basic principles of interdisciplinary management of elderly and senile people with hip fracture. The aim of the consensus is to help establishing effective interaction between professionals of different specialties based on their better mutual understanding, which will contribute to improving specialized medical care, saving lives and reducing disability of elderly patients with hip fracture.
