HIP FRACTURE

This study tested whether an ultrasound-guided nerve block can control hip fracture pain as well as standard opioid injections in the emergency department. 44 adults with hip fractures and moderate to severe pain took part. Researchers measured pain relief using a pain scale to c…

This study compared two types of nerve blocks (PENG block and QL block) to see which provides better pain relief when positioning patients with broken hips for spinal anesthesia. 42 adults were randomly assigned to receive one of the two blocks. The goal was to reduce pain during…

This study looked at whether a special nerve block called PENG can help people who have partial hip replacement surgery feel less pain and need fewer painkillers. 48 adults aged 18 to 75 took part. Half got the nerve block before surgery, and half did not. The researchers measure…

This study looks at whether a special care plan for urinary catheters still prevents infections and bladder problems 9 years after it was first used. The plan includes a catheter certificate and a nurse-led protocol. Researchers will compare infection and bladder distension rates…

This study looked at whether a Turkish translation of the New Mobility Score is a reliable way to measure walking ability in older adults (65+) who had hip fracture surgery. 120 participants answered questions about their indoor and outdoor walking and shopping. The goal was to c…

This study looked at whether performing hip fracture surgery within 48 hours lowers the risk of death and other complications. Researchers followed 150 patients aged 50 and older for 30 days after surgery. They measured death rates, blood clots, confusion after surgery, and how l…

This study looked at 79 older adults who had hip fractures after a low-energy fall, like tripping. Researchers used CT scans to measure specific muscles around the hip, not just overall muscle loss. They wanted to see if the balance between these muscles was linked to the type of…
