What this trial studies
This observational study involves a retrospective review of medical records for patients who underwent surgical management for hip fractures at Aga Khan University since 2010. The investigators will analyze postoperative complications, length of hospital stay, and mortality rates, while also examining the background characteristics and potential factors associated with these outcomes. The study aims to identify trends and insights that could improve future management of hip fractures.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of hip fracture outcomes and inform better surgical practices.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have successfully analyzed surgical outcomes for hip fractures, indicating that this approach is well-established.

Patient-centered education after hip fracture surgery
A structured education program after hip fracture surgery is being tested to see if it helps patients recover better than routine care alone.

PENG Block Compared with Femoral Nerve Block for Spinal Anesthesia in Hip Fracture Surgery
This trial tests whether the ultrasound-guided Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) block helps when positioning for spinal anesthesia in older adults with hip fractures, compared with the standard femoral nerve block.
-
French version validation of the New Mobility Score for older adults after hip fracture
This study tests whether the French version of the New Mobility Score accurately measures mobility in French patients aged 75 and older after hip fracture.
-
One versus two doses of tranexamic acid for hip fracture surgery
This will test whether giving one dose or two doses of tranexamic acid around surgery helps people aged 65 and older with pertrochanteric or subtrochanteric hip fractures lose less blood and need fewer transfusions.
-
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.
