This trial tests whether a supplement made from cetylated fatty acids can help heal a simple leg bone fracture faster after surgery. You might be eligible if you have a specific type of leg fracture fixed with a metal rod inside the bone.
This trial tests whether taking a special nutritional drink after hip fracture surgery helps with recovery. It may provide extra protein and calories to support healing.
This study tests whether giving extra essential amino acids (building blocks of protein) to older adults hospitalized with a broken femur (thigh bone) can improve their recovery. If you are 65 or older, broke your femur from a simple fall, and are having surgery to fix it, you may be able to join.
This study aims to help adults over 50 who had a recent bone fracture (from a minor fall) get better follow-up care to prevent future fractures. You will work with a nurse or coordinator to connect with your primary care doctor and learn about bone health options.
This trial tests whether taking a branched-chain amino acid supplement helps recovery after surgery for bone cancer that spread to the femur (thigh bone). It may help you heal better after your operation.
This trial tests whether a nutritional supplement can help older adults recover better after hip fracture surgery. It may improve strength and healing during the recovery period.
