PROCEDURE

Orthogeriatric intervention

The intervention group will be transferred as soon as possible to the orthogeriatric ward, stabilised there preoperatively, and transferred back to the same ward postoperatively for further treatment and rehabilitation, while the control group will be treated in a traditional orthopaedic ward. Operative and anaesthesiologic procedures will be the same in the two groups.Clinical routines for the orthogeriatric service has been developed during the pilot phase in 2008 and 2009, and are documented in the electronic library of clinical handbooks at Department of Geriatric Medicine.
