Abstract

Hip fractures in the elderly population have become a 'disease' with increasing incidence.Most of the geriatric patients are affected by a number of comorbidities.Coagulopathies continue to be a special point of interest for the orthopaedic trauma surgeon, with the management of this high-risk group of patients a hot topic of debate among the orthopaedic community.While a universal consensus on how to manage thromboprophylaxis for this special cohort of patients has not been reached, multiple attempts to define a widely accepted protocol have been published.
