Decision Support for Fracture Surgery in Older Adults
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial uses a special decision-support tool to help doctors and patients better understand the risks of surgery before going into the operating room. It is designed for older adults with a broken hip or other fracture that needs surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 65 years or older (the trial focuses on older adults).
- You have a broken hip or another type of fracture that needs surgery to fix it.
- You are scheduled to have surgery for the fracture.

This trial is testing a new computer tool that helps doctors plan surgery for a broken leg. It looks at pictures of the break to see if it can make surgery better or easier.
This study tests a decision-making tool to help postmenopausal women choose whether to take medication to prevent bone fractures. It's for women who have not had a fracture but have an elevated fracture risk.
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 asks patients (or parents/caregivers, for children’s injuries) about their preferences for different treatment options for certain joint and fracture problems. It may help clinicians choose care plans that match what patients value.
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.
