- Elderly patients with fractures often experience worsened recovery and higher mortality due to sarcopenia, yet it’s unclear if orthopedic and geriatric professionals are equipped to diagnose and treat it effectively.
- A study surveyed 220 professionals from orthopedic and geriatric departments in Taizhou, finding orthopedic professionals had significantly lower knowledge and practice scores compared to their geriatric counterparts.
