Abstract

Sleep disturbances can increase the risk of falls and motor vehicle accidents and may reduce bone density. Poor sleep can lead to worse outcomes after fracture, such as chronic pain and delayed recovery. Orthopaedic surgeons can play an important role in the screening of sleep disorders among their patients.
