Iron infusions to improve walking after hip fracture
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving iron through a vein can help older adults walk better after hip fracture surgery. It is for people who have anemia (low red blood cells) after their operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 65 years old or older.
- You have had surgery for a broken hip (the top part of your thigh bone).
- Your blood test shows low red blood cells (anemia) between 1 and 5 days after surgery.
- Before the fracture, you could walk indoors without help from another person.
- You are not allergic to intravenous iron and do not live in a nursing home.

This trial tests whether iron supplements can help older patients recover better after a hip fracture. If you are 75 or older and have low iron levels, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether giving an intravenous iron supplement (ferric derisomaltose) can help prevent anemia and improve quality of life in obese patients who have low iron stores. It aims to see if this treatment can boost energy and reduce fatigue.
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving a specific iron medicine before major gynecologic cancer surgery can improve recovery. It’s mainly for people with low blood counts from low iron stores before surgery.
This trial tests whether giving iron after a non–life-threatening stomach or bowel bleed can help rebuild blood levels and prevent problems related to iron deficiency. You would need to be stable after the bleeding is treated and meet specific blood and health criteria.
This trial tests whether giving a one-time IV iron treatment can improve anemia (low blood count) after surgery for a leg or pelvic fracture. It may help your body make red blood cells faster after blood loss from the injury and operation.
This study tests whether giving iron through a vein can improve mobility and musculoskeletal (muscle and joint) function in older adults with iron-deficiency anemia. It may help people feel stronger and move better if their anemia is caused by low iron.
