Core Tip	The treatment of acute lower limb fractures in nonagenarian population poses a technical challenge to orthopaedic surgeons, given the multiple co-morbidities, complex fracture pattern and poor bone quality. Nonagenarians account for 8% of all patients requiring acute fracture surgery. The main findings of this study are that surgery is more likely to be offered to those patients with fewer co-morbidities and those admitted from their own home, which indicates a higher functional status.
