Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.

Summary

This study looked at 79 older adults with hip fractures to see if the balance of specific muscles around the hip affects the type of fracture. Researchers used CT scans to measure muscle areas and found that regional muscle balance may be more important than overall muscle loss. The goal is to better understand fracture causes and improve prevention and recovery strategies.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

Older adults aged 60 years and older presenting with hip fractures after low-energy falls were prospectively enrolled. Participants were evaluated in a tertiary care orthopedic trauma center, and fracture types were classified as femoral neck fracture or intertrochanteric femur fracture. All participants underwent standardized clinical assessment and CT-based muscle measurements at admission.
