Geriatric Orthopedics
Certain that the elderly deserve special care, here at Centro Ortopédico Ipiranga we work with the Integrated Geriatric Orthopedics System , which involves surgeons, clinicians, physiotherapists and anesthetists with experience in this population group to offer the most modern in medicine.
Medicine has evolved a lot and one of the most emblematic fields of this evolution is Geriatric Orthopedics . Our patients today live longer and have a better quality of life because they exercise more, have more work and fun activities.
However, osteoporosis, decreased muscle mass, the association of small comorbidities (diabetes, high blood pressure and use of medication, for example) make these patients special. All of this makes us have a certain propensity for injuries that are different from children, adults and young adults. That's why we pay more attention to this group of people.
