Elderly patients with fractures can be treated in several ways: First, if the fracture position is well maintained or mildly misaligned, it can be fixed by manual repositioning, plaster or splinting, which can ensure the stability of the fracture end. The patient should also undergo rehabilitation to avoid secondary atrophy of the muscles around the fracture. Bed rest complications such as pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and decubitus ulcers should also be prevented. Second, if the fracture is an unstable fracture such as a comminuted fracture, surgical treatment should be considered, either by internal fixation with an incision and repositioning plate and screw or by surgical treatment with an external fixation brace, both of which can ensure the relative stability of the fracture end. After the fracture has been operated, the patient usually does not need to use external fixation and should also undergo early rehabilitation to avoid complications of the fracture. Therefore, fractures in the elderly should be diagnosed and treated as soon as possible.
