Fracture surgery risk assessment for older adults
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a tool that helps doctors better understand the risks of surgery for older adults with fractures, so they can plan safer care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an older adult (age not specified but study focuses on older people).
- You have a hip fracture or another type of fracture that needs surgery.
- You are planning to have or already had fracture surgery.

This study looks at “frailty,” or how well the body may handle stress, around the time of surgery in people age 65 and older. It may help doctors better understand who is at higher risk and how to plan care around surgery.
This study looks at how frailty (a state of being physically weak and less resilient) before hip or knee replacement surgery affects thinking and memory problems after surgery in older adults. It aims to help identify patients who may need extra support.
This study looks at frailty in older adults who have a certain type of hip fracture. It may help doctors better understand how frailty affects recovery after hip surgery.
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.
This study tests a system to help prevent another broken bone after a hip, leg, or pelvis fracture. It is for people 65+ who are in a skilled nursing facility for rehab and plan to return home or to assisted living.
This study tests how well simple frailty screening tools predict recovery and complications after major surgery in people aged 70 and older. The goal is to help doctors and patients better understand surgical risks.
