Clinical Management of Patients Older than 75 Years of Age With Fractures of the Proximal Femur

Abstract

This paper presents a review of publications dedicated to the complex clinical management of patients older than 75 years of age who have had fractures of the proximal femur and presented signs of osteoporosis. Descriptive and analytical methods were used in the research. The work with the publications was performed by entering the relevant MeSH terms and subheadings in the search systems of databases. The study found that most researchers think that this problem still needs to be studied in the context of the search for effective clinical management strategies, including the surgical treatment as early as possible and the prescription of medications which influence bone remodeling mechanisms.
