FEMORAL NECK FRACTURES

This study tested whether a special type of hip implant (dual mobility cup) can prevent the hip from popping out of place after total hip replacement surgery for a broken hip. Researchers compared this implant to standard ones in 1,600 elderly patients. The goal was to see if the…

This study tested a new metal device called the Femoral Neck System (FNS) for fixing broken hips in 43 adults. The main goal was to see how many people needed another surgery within a year. The study also checked how well patients could walk and balance after treatment.

This study looked at two easy breathing exercises—Liuzijue and box breathing—in 40 older adults who were immobile after a hip fracture. The goal was to see if these techniques could improve lung capacity and help control blood pressure over four weeks. Researchers hope these find…

This study looked at 516 older patients (over 60) who had hip replacement surgery. It compared those who received a nerve block (numbing only the hip area) to those who had general anesthesia (being put to sleep). The goal was to see which group had better early recovery, measure…

This study tested whether a nerve block (lumbar ESP block) could be a good alternative to spinal anesthesia for hip and upper thigh surgery. 66 adults were randomly assigned to receive one of the two methods. Researchers measured how long pain relief lasted after surgery and whet…

This study compared two numbing techniques for patients having surgery for a broken hip. Researchers tested whether a nerve block (numbing a specific area) or a spinal injection provided better pain control and kept patients more stable during surgery. The goal was to help doctor…

This study looked at 225 older adults with hip fractures to compare two surgical methods: one through the side (lateral) and one through the back (posterior). The goal was to see which approach led to fewer dislocations and fractures during or after surgery. Results help doctors …
