Abstract

Traumatic injuries to patients over the age of 65 are a major public health concern. In 2007, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention found that accidental injuries are the fifth overall cause of death in all age groups and the ninth leading cause of death in older adults. For geriatric patients there are important issues to be considered that may not apply to younger victims of traumatic injury.
