Geriatric fracture care is not a niche—it is the future of orthopaedics. Dr. Julie Switzer traces how personal connection, surgical purpose, and systems-level thinking shaped her career in caring for older adults. The discussion reframes fracture management as more than operative fixation, emphasizing collaboration with therapists, geriatricians, hospitalists, nutritionists, and community partners. Her message is clear: improving outcomes requires surgeons to look beyond the OR, embrace secondary fracture prevention, and train the next generation to see geriatric care as a core responsibility.
