Pre-surgery check and recovery plan for elderly spine patients
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a special care program for older adults (75+) having spinal fusion surgery. It aims to improve safety and recovery by checking risks before surgery and using enhanced recovery methods after.
