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.
