What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looks at 100 elderly patients with hip fractures to see if quick, easy tests like muscle ultrasound, handgrip strength, and routine blood work can predict frailty. Frailty affects recovery after surgery, so finding a fast way to measure it could help doctors provide safer care. The goal is to improve how surgical teams manage high-risk older patients.

Who is studied

The study population consists of geriatric patients aged 65 years and older who have been hospitalized at the Orthopedics and Traumatology department of Mugla Sitki Kocman University Training and Research Hospital with a diagnosis of trochanteric femur fracture. This population includes patients scheduled for elective or semi-urgent orthopedic surgery who are capable of undergoing preoperative clinical and ultrasonographic assessments.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients aged 65 years and older. * Confirmed diagnosis of trochanteric femur fracture. * Planned for orthopedic surgery under general or regional anesthesia. * Ability to provide written informed consent (either by the patient or a legal representative). Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with advanced dementia or severe cognitive impairment who cannot cooperate with the handgrip strength test or Fried criteria questionnaire. * Patients with terminal-stage diseases or those under palliative care. * History of neuromuscular diseases or severe muscle-wasting conditions that affect the lower limbs (e.g., advanced muscular dystrophy). * Patients with active infections or skin lesions at the site of ultrasound measurement (rectus femoris area). * Emergency cases requiring immediate surgery where preoperative assessment cannot be completed.
