Summary

This study looks at why some older adults experience confusion or memory problems after leg surgery. Researchers will compare two types of anesthesia (general vs. spinal) and monitor fluid levels and brain oxygen during surgery. The goal is to understand what factors contribute to these thinking difficulties, not to test a new treatment.
