Abstract
This article offers a German perspective on orthopaedic management of geriatric populations in higher-income countries.Specific orthopaedic procedures necessitate a more intensive level of care in older adult patients, especially with co-morbidities, than in younger patients.During the pre-, peri- and post-operative periods, several aspects such as patient blood management principles improve the outcomes of geriatric patients.New interdisciplinary geriatric models of care including geriatric and orthopaedic specialties have to be established to take care of the special needs of geriatric patients.Cite this article: EFORT Open Rev 2019;4 DOI: 10.1302/2058-5241.4.180087
