CRD SUMMARY:

This review concluded that collaboration between orthopaedic surgeons and geriatricians could improve mortality after hip fracture. This conclusion reflects the evidence presented, but was mainly based on data for routine geriatric consultation and the applicability of the findings to other models of care is uncertain.
