Hip fracture

This study tested a new bone grafting material called SurgiFill™ in 60 people with broken thigh or shin bones. The goal was to see if it helps bones heal faster and safely. The study was stopped early, so results are limited.

This study tested a special curved rod implant designed to fix broken pelvic and hip socket bones. It included 53 adults who had already received the implant. Researchers tracked whether patients needed more surgeries and how well they could move and bear weight afterward.

This study compared two common nerve block techniques for pain relief after hip fracture surgery: femoral nerve block and suprainguinal fascia iliaca block. Only 17 adults participated before the trial was terminated early. The goal was to see which block reduces pain and the nee…

This small trial tested whether adding a special protein-and-vitamin powder to the diet could help older adults walk better after surgery for a broken femur. Only 20 people took part, and the study was stopped early. The main goal was to see if the supplement improved walking spe…

This study tested a new technique that uses a special form of creatine (deuterated creatine) to measure muscle mass more directly and accurately in older adults. The goal was to see if this method works well in both healthy older adults and those recovering from a hip fracture. T…

This study followed 10 people who received an ESOP 2 hip stem during total hip replacement. Researchers wanted to see how safe and effective the device was over 10 years in real-life use. The study was stopped early, so the full long-term picture is incomplete.

This study looked at a specific hip implant shell (the Pinnacle Acetabular Shell) used in total hip replacement. Researchers wanted to see how much the implant moved (migrated) over two years using a special X-ray technique called RSA. They also tracked how patients felt and func…
