Neck condition and hip fracture study
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial is looking at whether a neck condition (cervical myelopathy) might be linked to falls that cause hip fractures. It involves reviewing your hospital records to learn more about your fall and any related spine issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were admitted to Eskenazi, Methodist, or IU North hospital for a broken hip (the upper part of your thigh bone).
- The break was caused by a simple fall from standing height or less (like tripping on a rug).
- You do not have a condition like dementia, Parkinson's disease, or confusion that caused the fall.
- You did not fall because of fainting, a stroke, or a heart problem.

This study looks at people with osteoporotic hip fractures (breaks in the femur near the hip) and evaluates their care and outcomes. It may help improve how hip fractures are treated in people whose bones are weaker due to osteoporosis.
This trial tests a new rehab program for older adults who recently broke a hip and also have mild to moderate memory problems. The program aims to help them recover better after surgery.
This trial tests a structured rehabilitation program for older adults who have had surgery for a broken hip. The goal is to help you recover better and return to your daily activities.
This is an observational study that follows people age 65 and older after a hip (femur) fracture to learn about their care and outcomes in participating hospitals. It won’t test a new treatment, but your participation may help improve future care for older patients.
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 trial tests a structured “fracture liaison service” program to help people after a new hip or spine (vertebral) fracture avoid additional fractures. It aims to improve long-term follow-up care over the next 10 years.
