Abstract
This case shows a patient with a fall syndrome, which resulted in a severe rib fracture. The patient was thoroughly examined to identify the probable causes and risk factors for falls. The results of physical examination, comprehensive geriatric assessment and additional research methods revealed such geriatric syndromes as frailty, falls syndrome, vitamin D deficiency, peripheral polyneuropathy, and carotid artery stenosis. Thus, as a result of the examination, 7 risk factors for falls were identified in the patient, which turned out to be fully or partially modifiable.
