NCT ID NCT05947058

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This pilot study looks at two common surgeries for a certain type of hip fracture in people 60 and older: hip replacement or using screws/pins to hold the bone in place. The main goal is not to decide which is better, but to see if a larger study is possible by checking how many people join, how well the treatments are followed, and how easy it is to collect data. About 40 participants will be followed for one year.
