Summary

This study looks at 100 elderly patients with hip fractures to see if quick, easy tests like muscle ultrasound, handgrip strength, and routine blood work can predict frailty. Frailty affects recovery after surgery, so finding a fast way to measure it could help doctors plan safer care. The goal is to improve outcomes for older patients without complex assessments.
