Hip fracture rehab at home instead of hospital
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether going home with a rehabilitation team is as good as staying in the hospital after a hip fracture. If you live in certain areas of Sydney and have someone to help you, you might be able to recover at home.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
