NCT ID NCT07410338
First seen Feb 21, 2026 · Last updated May 30, 2026 · Updated 10 times
Summary
This study looked at 77 adults with an unstable hip fracture to compare two ways of positioning the patient during surgery: lying on the side versus lying flat on a special traction table. The goal was to see which position leads to better bone alignment, less radiation exposure from X-rays, and less blood loss. The findings help surgeons choose the best approach for this common injury.
