Summary
This study looks at whether a single dose of the anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone, given during hip replacement surgery, can help people recover better and feel better up to three months later. About 224 adults aged 60 and older having a hip replacement will be randomly assigned to receive either a low or moderate dose of the drug. The goal is to see if it improves quality of life, reduces pain, and speeds up recovery.
