FEMORAL NECK FRACTURES

This study tested a new surgical device called the Femoral Neck System (FNS) for treating a common type of hip fracture. Researchers wanted to see how often patients needed another surgery after the procedure. The study included 43 adults with hip fractures and followed them for …

This study tested whether a special type of hip implant (dual mobility cup) can prevent the hip from popping out of place after total hip replacement surgery for a broken hip. Researchers compared this implant to standard ones in 1,600 elderly patients. The goal was to see if the…

This study tested a new type of nerve block (lumbar erector spinae plane block) against standard spinal anesthesia for hip and upper thigh surgery in 66 adults. The goal was to see if the nerve block could provide good pain control during and after surgery while reducing the need…

This study looked at 516 older patients (over 60) who had hip replacement surgery. It compared those who received a nerve block (numbing only the hip area) to those who got general anesthesia (being put to sleep). The goal was to see which group had better early recovery, includi…

This study looked at 300 people having hip fracture surgery to compare two types of anesthesia: a lumbar plexus block (a numbing injection near the hip) and unilateral spinal anesthesia (numbing only one side of the spine). The goal was to see which method keeps blood pressure mo…

This study looked at whether two easy breathing exercises—Liuzijue and box breathing—can improve lung capacity and blood pressure in older adults who were immobile after a hip fracture. Researchers reviewed data from 40 patients aged 65-85 over four weeks. The goal is to find saf…

This study looked at 225 older adults with hip fractures who had hip replacement surgery using one of two methods: an approach from the back (posterior) or from the side (lateral). The goal was to see which method led to fewer hip dislocations and fewer bone breaks during surgery…
