Orthopedic Surgery in Elderly Patients

Orthopedic surgery for elderly patients involves treating issues related to bones, joints, and muscles that are common with aging, such as fractures, arthritis, or joint replacements. Due to factors like weaker bones and other health conditions, elderly patients may face unique challenges during surgery and recovery. Surgeons focus on both restoring mobility and ensuring safety, often using minimally invasive techniques to reduce recovery time. A multidisciplinary approach, including physical therapy and careful monitoring, is essential to help older adults regain strength and improve their quality of life after orthopedic procedures.
