The G8 is a simple and useful screening tool for identifying deficits in CGA in older patients with cancer requiring surgery. Second, we concluded that patients with an impaired G8 are more at risk for a complicated recovery from surgery.

Older adults have an increased burden of comorbidities and risk of experiencing adverse events on anticancer treatments, including functional decline. Functional impairment is a predictor of increased risk of chemotherapy toxicity and shorter survival in this population. Healthcare professionals caring for older adults with cancer should be familiar with the concept of functional status and its implications because of the significant interplay between function, cancer, anticancer treatments, and patient-reported outcomes. In this narrative review, we provide an overview of functional status among older patients with cancer including predictors, screening, and assessment tools. We also discuss the impact of functional impairment on patient outcomes, and describe the role of individual members of an interprofessional team in addressing functional impairment in this population, including the use of a collaborative approach aiming to preserve function. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) can measure bone mineral density (BMD) around joint arthroplasties. DXA has never been used in total wrist arthroplasties (TWA). We investigated (1) whether BMD differs between 2 TWAs implanted in the same cadaver forearm, (
