“…Aiken et al (2014) found that nurse education had a significant association with mortality rate (Aiken et al, 2014), which supports the need for high-qualified professional nurses. Drozd et al (2007) found in a qualitative study of the orthopaedic nursing role, that being "multi-skilled" meant that orthopaedic nurses took over skills from other professionals such as physiotherapists. The same paper recommends establishing a standardised national orthopaedic nurse education and training course for different levels of orthopaedic practitioner (Drozd et al, 2007).…”

Participants found themselves in a new and unexpected situation and experienced pain, vulnerability and a striving for control during the process, that is, 'from realising the seriousness of the injury to regaining autonomy'. How this is managed depends on how the patient's needs are met by nurses. The nursing care received while suffering a lower limb fracture and undergoing surgery should be situation specific as well as individual specific. The safe performance of technical interventions and the nurse's comprehensive explanations of medical terms may help the patient to feel secure during the process.

“…Competence is a defining feature of any professional practise [20] but can only be achieved if nurses have the requisite knowledge and skills to deliver care effectively to specific groups of patients.

The challenge of caring for patients with fragility fractures is particularly acute for nursing teams who are in short supply and work with patients following fracture on a 24 h basis, coordinating as well as providing complex care. This paper considers the role of nurses within the orthogeriatric team and highlights the value of effective nursing care in patient outcomes. It explores the nature of nursing for patients with fragility fracture with a focus on the provision of safe and effective care and the coordination of care across the interdisciplinary team. It also highlights the need for specific skills in orthopaedic and geriatric nursing as well as specialist education.
