Nutritional supplementation for older adults with hip fractures

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial compares the outcomes of older adults with hip fractures who receive a specific nutritional supplement to those who receive standard nutritional counseling. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the supplement group or the control group and monitored for muscle loss through ultrasound measurements of the rectus femoris muscle in the uninjured leg. The study aims to determine if the nutritional supplement can effectively reduce muscle loss during the recovery period following surgery.
