| Core Tip |
Prophylactic fixation (ProFix) represents a paradigm shift in orthopaedic care, proactively addressing fracture risk in elderly osteoporotic patients before injury occurs. By integrating predictive analytics, minimally invasive techniques, and ethical considerations, ProFix has the potential to enhance mobility, reduce hospitalisation rates, and optimise healthcare resources. This review explores the feasibility, efficacy, and strategic implementation of ProFix, balancing innovation with patient safety to redefine preventive orthopaedic interventions. |
