[Geriatric traumatology-Principles of orthogeriatrics].

The number of patients with fragility fractures will continue to increase in the future. The multimorbidity of these patients places high demands on the treatment. The treatment of this complex group of patients in specialized centers is therefore recommended.

Outcome of Centenarians with Hip Fracture: An Analysis of the Registry for Geriatric Trauma (ATR-DGU).

Outcomes for hip fracture patients have improved over the years, yet the population of older patients (≥80 years) continues to grow. By 2100, the global centenarian population is projected to exceed 25 million, but data on hip fracture outcomes in this group are rare and often derived from small samples. This study aimed to analyze outcomes for centenarian hip fracture patients in specialized geriatric trauma centers and compare them with those of patients under 80.

Intensive Multiprofessional Rehabilitation Is Superior to Standard Orthogeriatric Care in Patients with Proximal Femur Fractures-A Matched Pair Study of 9580 Patients from the Registry for Geriatric Trauma (ATR-DGU).

Orthogeriatric treatment, which involves a collaborative approach between orthopedic surgeons and geriatricians, is generally considered to be superior to standard care following hip fractures. The aim of this study was to investigate additional effects of a geriatrician-led multidisciplinary rehabilitation program. In this matched paired observational cohort study, patients aged 70 years and older with a proximal femur fracture requiring surgery were included.

Value of Proximal Femur Geometry in Predicting Occult Hip Fracture.

: Patients with occult hip fractures are a difficult subgroup to treat. MRI is the gold standard for diagnosing occult proximal femur fractures but is costly and may not be readily available in an emergency setting. The purpose of this study was to determine whether changes in the proximal femur geometry can predict the likelihood of an occult hip fracture in patients presenting with hip pain following a ground-level fall.

The Geriatrics at Risk Score (GeRi-Score) for mortality prediction in geriatric patients with proximal femur fracture - a development and validation study from the Registry for Geriatric Trauma (ATR-DGU).

Unlabelled: This study developed an easy-to-use mortality prediction tool, which showed an acceptable discrimination and no significant lack of fit. The GeRi-Score was able to predict mortality and could distinguish between mild, moderate and high risk groups. Therefore, the GeRi-Score might have the potential to distribute the intensity of medical care.
