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 tests whether giving numbing injections around the hip before surgery can improve pain control and recovery in older adults. It may help reduce pain during and after surgery and lessen the need for stronger painkillers.
This study compares two ways of giving spinal anesthesia during hip fracture surgery: a single injection versus a continuous drip through a tiny tube. The goal is to see which method is safer and causes fewer side effects, such as drops in blood pressure, while keeping you comfortable during and after the operation.
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 looks at different ways to give anesthesia during hip surgery to help older patients think and remember better afterward. It may help prevent confusion or memory problems that sometimes happen after surgery.
This study tests whether a nerve block plus local anesthetic can improve pain control during and after hip replacement surgery for a broken hip. It may help reduce the need for stronger pain medications and improve recovery.
