Fracture healing in osteoporotic bone -- Biomechanics of osteoporotic fracture fixation -- Peri-operative management of geriatric patients -- Choice of management and techniques of proximal humeral fixation -- Geriatric elbow fractures and dislocations -- Management of distal radius fractures in the elderly population -- Osteoporotic pelvic fractures including insufficiency fractures -- Management of femoral neck and per-trochanteric fractures including new technology -- Sub-trochanteric fractures including bisphosphonate associated atypical fractures -- Femoral shaft and distal femur including periprosthetic fractures -- Proximal tibial fractures.

This book introduces recent advances in implants and surgical techniques for osteoporotic fractures. It covers most frequent fractures especially in the geriatric population, such as fractures of the hip, distal radius, proximal humerus, peri-prosthetic fractures and drug associated atypical femoral fractures, etc. The book details special surgical techniques which are required to treat these challenging and complex fractures. It also covers the current concept of geriatric fracture care and encompasses the holistic management of these patients from surgical management of the fracture to rehabilitation and prevention of subsequent fragility fractures.
