Frailty, hip fractures and inflammation study
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how frailty and inflammation affect recovery after a hip fracture in older adults. It aims to find biomarkers that could help personalize care.

This study looks at how to help older adults with frailty and their doctors make decisions together after a hip fracture. It takes place at University Hospital Southampton and aims to improve care and communication.
This study looks at frailty in people aged 65+ with a specific type of hip fracture (trochanteric femur fracture) who need surgery. It aims to find better ways to predict frailty, which could help doctors plan care.
This study looks at whether a simple score (Nottingham Hip Fracture Score) and a frailty check can help predict survival after hip fracture surgery. It aims to help doctors better understand risks for older adults who need hip surgery.
This trial tests if a drug called isomyosamine can reduce inflammation and help older adults recover muscle after breaking their hip or thigh bone. It is for people who are already frail or have signs of inflammation.
This trial looks at ways to help “frailty” (low strength and resilience) in people staying in intensive care units. It mainly enrolls adults who expect to be in the ICU for more than 24 hours, and it tries to avoid people whose mobility problems have other causes.
This study looks at frailty in people who have had a planned hip or knee replacement. It aims to understand how frailty affects recovery.
