Popis: |
Management of elderly patients with a proximal femoral fracture is an increasing challenge for the Dutch healthcare system. Proximal femoral fractures in the elderly have high morbidity and mortality rates. Furthermore, healthcare costs for this group of patients are rising. Referral, operation and postoperative care demand efficient collaboration between healthcare professionals. Every step in this chain of events is crucial for optimal treatment results. Multidisciplinary orthogeriatric trauma care shows promising results. In addition, high volume care results in better outcome of geriatric trauma patients. |
