Abstract
This monograph is written as a guide for physicians, nurses, therapists, and students interested in ideal care for their patients with fragility fractures. The scope of fragility fractures in the United States is large and will grow over the next 20 years as the population ages. There is much that can be done currently to idealize the outcomes of these patients. Additional research in many areas is needed to further improve the quality of care for these patients. We plan to update this monograph as new information concerning the care of seniors with fragility fractures develops.
