Abstract
» Anemia is a common comorbidity in orthopaedic trauma patients with important clinical consequences, significantly negatively affecting a patient's course following orthopaedic trauma. » Anemia remains relatively understudied in the orthopaedic trauma population with a large amount of current literature focused solely on geriatric hip fracture patients. » Greater investigation into alternatives to blood transfusions such as iron therapy or cell salvaging for treatment of anemia in the orthopaedic trauma population is needed.
