Muscle health after hip fracture in normal weight and obese patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how muscle loss (sarcopenia) affects recovery after a hip fracture, comparing people of normal weight and those with obesity. It may help find better ways to support recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 60 and 85 years old.
- You had a hip fracture (femoral neck fracture) within the last year.
- You are willing and able to understand and sign a consent form.
- You do not have certain other conditions like active cancer, dementia, Parkinson's disease, or autoimmune diseases.

This trial looks at how muscle health affects your ability to get back to normal activities after hip replacement surgery for a broken hip or severe arthritis. By using MRI scans and other tests, researchers hope to understand if having less muscle makes recovery harder.
This study looks at the link between muscle loss (sarcopenia) and obesity in older adults. It aims to understand why some older people who are overweight or obese also lose muscle strength and function, and how this affects recovery after hip surgery.
This study looks at frailty in older adults who have a certain type of hip fracture. It may help doctors better understand how frailty affects recovery after hip surgery.
This trial tests a drug that may help older people who break a hip and have low muscle mass (sarcopenia). It aims to see if the drug can help preserve muscle strength and speed up recovery after surgery.
This study tests an investigational drug called Isomyosamine, which aims to reduce inflammation and prevent muscle loss after a hip or thigh fracture. It is designed for older adults who are at risk for frailty or sarcopenia after their injury.
This study tests whether combining resistance exercises with a protein-rich diet can improve muscle strength and overall function in older women with weak muscles. You would attend supervised workouts and follow a specific eating plan for several weeks.
