Faculty:Amy B. HarrisDuration:Full DayFormat:Audio and VideoCopyright:May 11, 2016DescriptionDoes this sound familiar?72-year-old Mary arrives to the E.R. by ambulance from her home at an assisted living facility and is noted to have an externally rotated and shortened left lower extremity. She is having significant pain in her left thigh and hip and is experiencing muscle spasms. She is a diabetic and is noted to be quite overweight for her apparent height as you examine her on the stretcher. Mary admits to have fallen twice in the past month and she states that she isn’t completely compliant with her medication regimen.What about this scenario?Steven, a 63-year-old gentleman, presents to the clinic with pain and difficulty moving his left knee. He states that years ago he played football in college and had two arthroscopies due to meniscal tears. He states that he knows he has some arthritis and yet he has been resisting coming in for treatment. Steven’s concern is that perhaps surgical intervention will be recommended to treat his arthritis and yet he explains to you how reluctant he is at this point to ever having surgery on his left knee again.Older adult patients may present with a variety of Orthopaedic conditions and injuries and yet they may have multiple comorbidities. It is important to take a full medical and surgical history to ensure a safe outcome for all patients.
