In the context of an ever-increasing elderly population, we attempted to trace the portrait of the typical orthopedic patient of the future. We presented the case of a 92-year-old woman who presented with a midshaft femoral fracture and a rich medical and surgical history. We reported the management, treatment, and evolution while touching upon the economic side of orthopedic surgery.
