Nutrition supplements after leg fracture surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving special nutritional supplements soon after a broken leg, ankle, or foot bone can help you heal faster and reduce problems after surgery. You would take the supplement by mouth for a short time, and the study tracks your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 tests whether drinking a special nutritional shake before and after hip surgery helps older adults recover better. If you join, you will receive either the shake or a standard drink, and the study will see how it affects your recovery.
This study tests whether taking a daily collagen supplement helps older adults recover better after a fragility fracture (a break from a minor fall). It may improve bone strength and healing during rehabilitation.
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.
