Abstract
The number of elderly patients requiring hospital treatment for orthopaedic trauma is increasing. This group also appears to be particularly at risk of being undernourished. The report of a working party into nutrition as a treatment (1) concluded that there was a surprisingly high incidence of malnutrition on surgical, and particularly orthopaedic, wards in the UK.Keywords
