Faster hip fracture care for people with heart stress signs
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at an “accelerated” hospital plan to get surgery and treatment started sooner for some people with a hip fracture who also show signs of heart stress in blood tests. It may help reduce delays and improve safety during urgent hip fracture care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at whether fixing a hip fracture sooner is better for people who take a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) blood thinner. It compares early surgery versus delayed surgery in people whose delay is specifically from the blood thinner.
This trial tests whether doing a focused heart ultrasound before hip fracture surgery helps doctors better manage your care during surgery. It is mainly for older adults having urgent hip fracture surgery.
This trial tests a structured rehabilitation program for older adults who have had surgery for a broken hip. The goal is to help you recover better and return to your daily activities.
This study tests whether giving one dose of a medicine called tranexamic acid (which helps reduce bleeding) works as well as two doses during hip fracture surgery. It may help people who need surgery for a broken hip near the thigh bone.
This trial tests a new rehab program for older adults who recently broke a hip and also have mild to moderate memory problems. The program aims to help them recover better after surgery.
This study looks at how personalized care plans can help older adults recover better after a hip fracture. If you join, the research team will create a care plan just for you and check on your progress.
