Old Age(Geriatric) Orthopaedic problem Management
Old Age(Geriatric) Orthopaedic problem Management
Aging is a natural process that brings changes to bones, muscles, and joints, making older adults more prone to orthopaedic problems. At our clinic, we specialize in providing comprehensive, patient‑centered care for geriatric orthopaedic conditions — focusing on pain relief, restoring mobility, and maintaining quality of life.
What are Geriatric Orthopaedic Problems?
Geriatric orthopaedic problems arise due to the natural wear and tear of the musculoskeletal system. These conditions can cause discomfort, reduce independence, and affect overall well‑being. Common issues include:
Osteoarthritis of the knees, hips, and spine
Osteoporotic fractures (hip, spine, and wrist)
Degenerative spine disease
Muscle and tendon strains
Rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory conditions
Falls and related injuries
General joint stiffness and decreased mobility
