-
PENG block plus local infiltration analgesia for anterior-approach hip replacement
This test sees if a motor-sparing PENG block combined with local infiltration around the hip controls pain as well as spinal anesthesia for adults having anterior‑approach hip replacement.
-
PENG versus femoral nerve block for hip fracture pain
This will test whether a PENG nerve block or a femoral nerve block gives better pain relief and reduces opioid use for adults with confirmed hip fractures who agree to a nerve block.
-
Protein and resistance exercise to speed recovery after hip fracture
This trial will test whether a protein-enriched diet plus three months of progressive resistance exercise helps people aged 65 and older recover bone and muscle health and improve quality of life after an acute hip fracture.
-
Esketamine combined with dexmedetomidine to improve sleep after hip fracture surgery
This will test whether giving esketamine together with dexmedetomidine during and after neuraxial anesthesia helps people 65 and older who have hip fracture surgery sleep better and have less pain and confusion.
-
Hip fracture thrombosis prevention: aspirin vs LMWH after surgery
A large UK study tests whether aspirin or a daily LMWH shot works better to prevent blood clots after hip fracture surgery.
-
Liposomal bupivacaine plus bupivacaine versus ropivacaine for PENG block in hip replacement
This trial will test whether adding liposomal bupivacaine to regular bupivacaine for a pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block gives longer and better pain relief than ropivacaine after hip replacement surgery.
-
Comparing implants to keep femoral neck fractures steady in adults under 65
We will test whether a new angle-stable implant (Dynaloc) keeps femoral neck fractures steadier than cancellous screws or a sliding hip screw in adults aged 18–64.
-
Effects of different anesthesia techniques on cognitive function in elderly hip fracture patients
This study tests different anesthesia methods to see which one helps older patients with hip fractures keep their thinking skills sharp during and after surgery.
-
Improving Pre-Anesthesia Care Discussions for Hip Fracture Surgery
This study is testing a new way to help doctors and patients talk about anesthesia choices for hip fracture surgery to see if it improves decision-making and communication.
-
Comparing spinal and general anesthesia for hip fracture surgery
This study tests whether spinal anesthesia or general anesthesia leads to better breathing results after hip surgery in older patients who had to wait more than two days for their operation.
-
Mobile app to help recovery after hip, knee, or spine surgery
We will test a mobile app that prompts in-bed conditioning exercises to help people over 65 recover after hip fracture fixation, spinal fusion, or total hip/knee replacement.
-
Rehabilitation program for older adults with hip fractures and cognitive impairment
This study is testing a special exercise program at home for older adults with hip fractures and memory issues to see if it helps them recover better than regular rehab.
-
Comparing internal fixation and hip arthroplasty for hip fractures in elderly patients
This study is testing whether surgery to fix a hip fracture or replacing the hip altogether helps older patients feel less pain and move better after their injury.
-
Home-based rehabilitation program for older adults after hip fractures
This study tests if a new home-based rehab program called 'Stronger at Home' helps older adults recover better after hip fractures compared to regular care.
-
Improving collaboration in osteoporosis treatment after hip fractures
This study is testing if better teamwork between doctors can help older patients who have had a hip fracture get the right osteoporosis treatment to prevent more fractures.
-
Oral blood thinners for preventing blood clots after hip fractures
This study is testing if oral blood thinners can help prevent blood clots in people aged 50 and older who have had hip fractures and need surgery.
-
Evaluating long-term outcomes of hip hemiarthroplasty surgeries
This study is trying to see how well hip hemiarthroplasty surgeries using specific implants work and are safe for adults over a long period of up to 10 years.
-
Comparing two pain management techniques for hip fracture surgery
This study is testing which pain management technique works better for older patients having hip fracture surgery to help them recover faster and use fewer opioids.
-
Comparing Remimazolam and Propofol for Delirium After Surgery
This study is testing whether remimazolam or propofol is better at preventing confusion after surgery in older patients getting hip or knee replacements.
-
Analyzing metabolic profiles of blood stem cells in older adults with clonal hematopoiesis
This study is trying to see how aging affects blood stem cells in older adults with certain genetic changes, by looking at blood and bone marrow samples taken during hip surgery.
-
Tracking care and outcomes for older adults with hip fracture across GIOG centers
This project will collect care and outcome data from people aged 65 and older with femur fractures treated at GIOG centers to see if different management approaches lead to better recovery.
-
Cultural adaptation of a frailty assessment tool for hip fracture patients in Greece
This study is testing a new version of a frailty questionnaire to see if it works well for older Greek patients who have had hip fractures, helping doctors better understand their health needs.
-
Surgical fixation for hip fractures in patients on blood thinners
This study is testing if fixing hip fractures quickly in patients on blood thinners can reduce blood loss and improve survival rates compared to those who have surgery later.
-
Comparing hip arthroplasty and intramedullary nail for unstable hip fractures
This study is testing whether hip replacement surgery works better than a special nail for helping older adults with unstable hip fractures recover and improve their quality of life.
-
Preventing secondary hip fractures in postmenopausal women
This study is testing if a new treatment can help prevent additional hip fractures in postmenopausal women who have already broken a hip and are having surgery to fix it.
-
