title: [An essential multi-disciplinary approach in geriatric perioperative units].
abstract: A hip fracture, often a surgical emergency, is a geriatric as much as an orthopaedic pathology. A multi-disciplinary approach is essential especially in the management of complications. The geriatric perioperative unit of Pitié-Salpétrière-Charles Foix hospital has demonstrated the benefits of such a dedicated care pathway.
