All of next week, I’ll be writing about a topic that is becoming more and more important: geriatric trauma. Our population is aging, and the number of older patients being admitted to trauma centers is exploding.

Here are the topics to be covered:

• How We Take Care Of Our Elders
• Thoughts On Geriatric Trauma
• Elderly Trauma And The Frailty Index
• The Medical Orthopaedic Trauma Service
• Falls In The Elderly: The Consequences
• Effect Of an In-Hospital Falls Prevention Program

And please feel free to leave comments and suggest future topics!
