Study of Parameters of Osteosarcopenia in Patients With Hip Fracture
Study of Parameters of Bone Fragility and Sarcopenia in Patients Undergoing Surgery for Fracture of the Femoral Neck
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 22 May 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The study aims to assess the adequacy of a set of clinical and laboratory investigations for identifying the osteosarcopenia status in patients undergoing a hip replacement for a fragility fracture of the femoral neck. The control group will consist of patients undergoing a hip replacement for osteoarthritis, as the decrease in muscle function and bone quality is less severe in this condition than in osteoporosis.
