Abstract: 

Much of what has been learned in the care of the elderly patient has been gained from the study of surgical outcomes of fractures of the hip over the past twenty years. Through this study a new paradigm for the approach to care and the evaluation of outcomes has emerged. The purpose of this presentation is to review the most current results of reconstructive surgery in 85+ year old age group and to suggest general principles in approaching the elderly patient that needs reconstructive surgery.
