Fractures in the elderly population are increasing in incidence and represent a rising burden of disease. It is difficult for the elderly population to adhere to restricted weight bearing, and immobility poses significant risks and increased morbidity. Therefore, a primary goal of fracture management in the elderly population is early post-operative weight bearing. This review examines published literature regarding lower extremity fracture management in the elderly, with a focus on post-operative rehabilitation. While extensive literature supports early weight bearing after hip fractures in the elderly, further research is warranted to provide guidelines for management of other lower extremity fractures in this population.
