Summary
This study tested whether a single injection of morphine into the spinal fluid can provide better pain relief after hip fracture surgery than standard painkillers. Researchers enrolled 82 older adults (ages 60-90) undergoing surgery for a broken hip. They compared pain levels, need for extra pain medication, and breathing side effects between the two groups.
