First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two surgeries for a common type of hip fracture in older adults: a metal nail inside the bone versus a full hip replacement. The goal is to see which approach leads to better mobility, fewer complications, and higher quality of life. About 170 people aged 65 and older with unstable fractures will take part and be followed for one year.
