Summary
This study looked at whether drinking whey protein and doing simple home exercises for two weeks before hip replacement surgery helps people recover faster. Researchers measured blood markers, how soon patients could walk, and how long they stayed in the hospital. The goal is to find easy ways to improve recovery for older adults having hip surgery.
