title: [Management of fractures in the elderly].
abstract: Fractures in elderly people are a leading cause of hospitalisation in medical and surgical departments. There may also be a significant increase in associated morbidity and mortality, depending on the site of the fracture and the surgical, medical and paramedical management. The respect of the surgical indications and a multi-disciplinary approach are essential for ensuring high quality care.
