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 tests whether a quick heart ultrasound before hip fracture surgery helps doctors plan better care. It may help reduce risks during and after surgery for older adults.
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 study tests a personalized care plan for older adults recovering from a hip fracture. The care plan is designed to help you recover better after surgery and get back to your daily life.
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 trial tests a support program for people age 55+ after a hip fracture, focusing on better recovery at home (or a retirement home). It may help improve outcomes after leaving the hospital by providing guidance and follow-up tailored to you.
