Blood clot risk after hip fracture; trial comparing care approaches
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two approaches for preventing blood clots in older adults who broke a hip. The goal is to find the safest and most effective way to manage clot risk after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years or older
- You have a fragile hip fracture (broken hip from a minor fall or weak bones)
- You are listed in a UK hip fracture registry

This trial studies which pill regimen helps prevent dangerous blood clots after hip fracture surgery. You might be eligible if you’re 50 or older and can start treatment soon after your injury.
This study compares two ways to lower the risk of blood clots in people who had hip surgery and also had a slight heart injury. You will receive either a standard blood thinner (rivaroxaban) plus aspirin, or just aspirin alone, to see which works better without extra risk.
This study looks at whether fixing a hip fracture sooner is better for people who take a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) blood thinner. It compares early surgery versus delayed surgery in people whose delay is specifically from the blood thinner.
This study tests whether giving one dose of a medicine called tranexamic acid (which helps reduce bleeding) works as well as two doses during hip fracture surgery. It may help people who need surgery for a broken hip near the thigh bone.
This trial is an audit, meaning researchers review existing hospital records to understand what happens after hip fractures are treated with surgery. It may help improve how hip fracture care is documented and delivered at their hospital.
This trial aims to improve how primary care and hospital care work together to treat osteoporosis after a hip fracture. It may help by making follow-up treatment plans and communication clearer after your hip injury.
