Pre-surgery nutrition may boost stability in frail hip fracture patients

This study is testing whether giving elderly patients with a broken hip and high frailty a special nutritional drink before surgery can help them stay more stable during the operation and recover better. Researchers will compare patients who get the drink with those who follow standard care, tracking complications, hospital stay length, and survival up to 90 days after surgery. The goal is to see if simple nutrition support can improve outcomes for this vulnerable group.
