My Anesthesia Choice for Hip Fracture Surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to help you and your doctor talk about anesthesia options before your hip fracture surgery. The goal is to see if this approach improves your experience and recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years old or older.
- You are scheduled for surgery to fix a broken hip.
- You are not currently taking blood thinners (like warfarin, apixaban, or heparin) and do not have a bleeding disorder.
- You do not have severe narrowing of your aortic heart valve (critical aortic stenosis).
- You do not have a skin infection on your lower back where the numbing shot would be given.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two types of anesthesia—spinal (awake, lower body numb) versus general (completely asleep)—for people 65 and older having hip fracture surgery. The goal is to see which is better for preventing lung complications after surgery.
This trial compares two positions for giving spinal anesthesia during hip fracture surgery to see which one works on only one side of the body. It may help patients get better pain relief with fewer side effects.
This trial compares two ways of giving spinal anesthesia during hip fracture surgery: a single injection or a continuous catheter. It aims to find out which method is safer and works better for heart function and recovery.
This trial is testing different types of anesthesia to see how they affect brain function (memory, thinking) after hip fracture surgery in older adults. It aims to find the safest approach for elderly patients.
This trial compares two different pain-control methods (two types of nerve blocks) during hip fracture surgery under general anesthesia. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for pain relief after surgery.
This study tests whether a nerve block given before surgery can help older adults with hip fractures have better pain control and recovery. It compares standard care with an extra injection near the hip to numb the area before the operation.
