Helping older hip fracture patients make decisions
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how decisions are made for older patients with hip fractures who are also frail. It aims to improve shared decision-making between patients, families, and doctors, so patients can be more involved in their care choices.
