HIP FRACTURES

This study looks at how well two types of hip implants (RingLoc and Endo II) work over time in people who had hip replacement surgery at least 8 years ago. Researchers will track complications, revisions, and patient-reported outcomes to confirm the devices are safe and effective…

This pilot study tested whether using a blood flow restriction (BFR) cuff during physical therapy helps elderly patients (65+) rebuild leg muscle and strength after hip fracture surgery. Twenty participants received either standard therapy or therapy with BFR. The study measured …

This study compares two types of nerve blocks—suprainguinal fascia iliaca block and pericapsular nerve block—to see which provides better pain relief after hip replacement surgery. Sixty adults undergoing hip replacement will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two blocks.…

This study tests a new, less invasive way to measure bone strength in women who have had hip or wrist fractures. Researchers want to see if this method can identify fracture risk better than standard bone density scans. About 190 women will participate, including those with recen…

This study follows about 1,500 adults with broken hips, shins, ankles, shoulders, or wrists for up to a year after standard treatment. Researchers collect X-rays, patient surveys on pain and function, and activity data to understand recovery patterns. The goal is to improve how d…

This study looks back at 300 patients who had hip replacement surgery after a cancer-related hip fracture. Researchers want to see how well patients are able to walk, their pain levels, and survival rates compared to older data. The goal is to find what helps people walk better a…

This study asks over 2,300 people with various joint problems (like arthritis or fractures) to fill out surveys about what influences their treatment choices. Researchers want to learn how factors like pain, recovery time, cost, and surgery versus non-surgery affect decisions. Th…

This study aims to see if an online education and skill-building program is helpful and easy to use for family members or caregivers of older adults recovering from hip fracture surgery. Researchers will ask about 230 participants to rate the program's acceptability, feasibility,…
