Osteoporosis is the most common problem with the elderly. With medical advances comes an increase in the population of old aged people, making osteoporosis more common and its fractures a big challenge for doctors worldwide and more effective treatments are needed.

Increasing fractures such as femoral neck fractures, trochanteric fracture, proximal humeral fractures, pelvic insufficiency fractures, and compressive/insufficiency vertebra fractures are caused by osteoporosis in old aged patients. The treatment of the osteoporotic fracture is complicated due to the frequent occurrence of osteopenia and poor bone quality. The treatment method contains both surgical and nonsurgical procedures. Complications in post-ops are infections, loose or broken components, periprosthetic fractures, and so on.

The accepted papers will show a wide range of new developments in the elderly-research area. Exquisite articles containing original research results will allow the readers of this journal to understand more about the topic and identify the difference between the young and the elderly.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Risk factors of demographic data and epidemiology of osteoporosis fracture
• Bisphosphonate related fractures
• Fragility fractures around the hip
• Management of distal femoral fractures in the elderly
• Periprosthetic fractures around the hip
• Periprosthetic fractures around the knee
