NCT ID NCT07429955
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study at Montpellier University Hospital will look at whether low muscle mass and strength before hip replacement surgery affects how well people aged 75 and older regain their independence. About 20 volunteers will have blood tests, scans, and a tiny muscle sample taken during their surgery. Researchers will then check on their recovery at 3 and 6 months to see if muscle weakness predicts slower healing.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors predict recovery after hip surgery and design better exercise and nutrition plans for older adults.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early exploratory study with only 20 participants. It is not testing a treatment, so it may not lead to direct changes in care.
