NCT ID NCT07501741
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at two different surgical methods for repairing a broken hip (hemiarthroplasty) in 100 adults. The goal is to see if one approach leads to better function and fewer complications after surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods and followed for 3 months.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that one surgical approach leads to better recovery and fewer complications after a hip fracture.
- What could go wrong
