Simple tests could spot frailty in elderly fracture patients
NCT ID NCT07332052
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
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 provide safer care. The goal is to improve how surgical teams manage high-risk older patients.
