Orthogeriatric co-management of fragility fractures: a retrospective cohort study on one-year mortality and functional outcomes across fracture types
Fragility fractures of all types carry high one‑year mortality and substantial functional decline. Discharge destination is a powerful prognostic marker and should inform early rehabilitation planning. Orthogeriatric strategies must extend beyond hip fractures and integrate frailty assessment to identify orthogeriatric responders likely to regain independence.
