Another 2minuteEM video! With artistic licence as it's 3 and a bit minutes long, d'oh!
The British Orthopaedic Standards in Trauma (BOASTs) are informative and helpful (and tend to be on one PDF page).
This video summarises the BOAST standard on care of the older or frail orthopaedic trauma patient.  Essentially a framework describing the ideal care of such patients.
There are 17 standards which I've somewhat awkwardly whittled down to the 5 I think are most relevant to the ED.
