HIP FRACTURES

This study tests whether using a blood flow restriction cuff during physical therapy helps elderly patients (65+) regain leg strength and muscle size after hip fracture surgery. Twenty participants will be followed to measure thigh circumference, muscle strength, pain, and mobili…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks (SFIB and PENG) to see which provides better pain relief after hip replacement surgery. Sixty adults undergoing hip surgery will receive one of the two blocks. The main goal is to measure how much morphine they need in the first 24 ho…

This study looks back at 300 people who had a special hip replacement after breaking their hip due to cancer. Researchers want to see how many people were able to walk again, how much pain they had, and how long they lived. They compare these results to patients from decades ago …

This study follows about 1,500 adults with hip, shin, ankle, shoulder, or wrist fractures for up to one year after standard treatment. Researchers collect information on healing, daily function, pain, and complications using questionnaires and activity trackers. The goal is to be…

This study aims to see if an online education and skill-building program is helpful and easy to use for family members or caregivers of older adults recovering from hip fracture surgery. Researchers will ask about 230 participants to rate the program's acceptability, feasibility,…

This study looks at whether a new, minimally invasive tool can measure bone tissue properties to better identify women at risk for hip and wrist fractures. Researchers will compare these measurements with standard bone density tests in 190 women, including those with recent fract…

This study surveys over 2,300 people with various joint conditions (like hip or knee arthritis, fractures, and tendon injuries) to learn what factors—such as pain, recovery time, cost, or surgery versus non-surgery—most influence their treatment choices. Participants fill out que…

This study looks at how well two types of hip implants (RingLoc and Endo II) work over time. It involves 116 adults who had hip replacement surgery at least 8 years ago. Researchers will track complications, revisions, and patient-reported outcomes to confirm the devices are safe…
