 pattern believed to be temporary must be accepted

Fractures in the Elderly
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
 Osteoporosis
 Remodeling does not occur in
trabecular bone, therefore
metaphysis is prone to fracture
 Pathologic Fractures
 Decreased muscle mass
 Postural changes
 Decreased vibration sense and
proprioception
 Increased reaction time
 Visuoperceptual decline
 Impaired mobility
Fractures in the Elderly
PRIMARY PREVENTION
 History and Physical Examination
 FRAX and DEXA
 Dietary modification and exercise
regimen
 Review of medications that may
cause dizziness, syncope, etc
 Regular eye exams
 Safer home:
 Slip guards and hand rails
 Removing objects on floor
 Storing items in easy to reach
cabinets
 Improve lighting in the home
SECONDARY PREVENTION
 Goal  rapid return to activities
for independent living
 Diagnosis
 History and PE
 X-ray
 CT scan
 Treatment
 Immobilization
 Surgical stabilization
 Joint replacement
National Center for Injury Prevention and Control
CDC Injury Center
Fractures in the Elderly
TERTIARY PREVENTION
 Stiffness – daily active or passive
ROM exercises of adjacent joints
 Contractures – periodic changes
in position
 Swelling – elevation of limb
 Pressure sores – daily inspection
and padding of contact points
 Functional impairment –
gradual re-introduction of ADLs
Merck Manual of Geriatrics. Fractures
FRAX: WHO Fracture Assessment Tool
Senile Cataract
 a vision-impairing
disease characterized
by gradual, progressive
thickening of the lens
 It is one of the leading
causes of blindness in
the world today
 Age is an important
risk factor for senile
cataract.
Clinicals
 History- decrease
visual acuity, increase
glare, mild to moderate
myopia, monocular
diplopia
 P.E.- slit lamp
examination
Work-up
 Laboratory Studies-
screening process to
detect coexisting
diseases (eg, diabetes
mellitus, hypertension,
cardiac anomalies)
 Imaging Studies- ocular
imaging studies (eg,
ultrasound, CT scan,
MRI)
Treatment
 The definitive management for senile cataract is
lens extraction.
 No drug is available that has been proven to
prevent the progression of senile cataracts.
Medical therapy is used preoperatively and
postoperatively to ensure a successful operation
and subsequent visual rehabilitation.
Dextroscoliosis
 Scoliosis is a medical
condition in which a
person's spine is curved
from side to side or front to
back, and may also be
rotated
 Dextroscoliosis is a
scoliosis with the convexity
on the right side
Symptoms
 Pain
 Uneven musculature on one side of the spine
 A rib "hump" and/or a prominent shoulder blade, caused





by rotation of the ribcage in thoracic scoliosis
Uneven hip and shoulder levels
Asymmetric size or location of breast in females
Unequal distance between arms and body
Clothes that do not "hang right", i.e. with uneven hemlines
Slow nerve action (in some cases)
Investigation
 Standard method for
assessing the curvature
quantitatively is
measurement of the
Cobb angle, which is the
angle between two lines,
drawn perpendicular to
the upper endplate of the
uppermost vertebrae
involved and the lower
endplate of the lowest
vertebrae involved
Management
The conventional options are, in order:
1. Observation
2. Bracing - for example the Milwaukee brace
3. Surgery

With episodes of BP

Patient is unable to go out of
the house because of her
condition. She said that she
goes to different churches
everyday
before
the
accident. It is also one of
the reasons why she could
not follow-up at the OPD
clinic.
RECOMMENDATIONS
For immunization: Tetanus,
Pneumococcal, Influenza
Encourage ROM exercises daily
For Rehabilitation therapy
For orthopaedic consult
For Ophthalmologic consult
For Hypertensive work-up
Encourage the other family
members to talk to her more
often.
A wheelchair would be
beneficial to be able to go out
and meet other people.
