: The number of seriously injured elderly patients is continuously rising. Several studies have underlined the benefit of orthogeriatric co-management in treating older patients with a proximal femur fracture. The basis of this orthogeriatric co-management is a certification as a Centre for Geriatric Trauma (ATZ).

Postoperative delirium is a prevalent and serious complication among elderly patients following surgical procedures. Prior research indicates that reduced competence in daily living, as evidenced by limitations in performing Activities of Daily Living (ADL), is directly associated with reduced patient mobility. This study aimed to investigate the potential role of preoperative mobility as a risk factor for the development of postoperative delirium.

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.

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.
