Muscle health and hip fracture surgery in older adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Hormones & metabolism, Infections, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study checks if the size of a thigh muscle and a nutrition score can help predict recovery in older patients having hip fracture surgery. It might help doctors plan better care after surgery.
