Clinical Trial: MAPT Protocol: Fixation Versus Arthroplasty Surgical Treatments for Early Recovery After HIP Fracture (FASTER-HIP)

U.S., Nov. 25 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07244211) titled 'MAPT Protocol: Fixation Versus Arthroplasty Surgical Treatments for Early Recovery After HIP Fracture (FASTER-HIP)' on Oct. 31.

Brief Summary: This study is an intervention domain of the Musculoskeletal Adaptive Platform Trial. The primary goal of this pragmatic, randomized, open-label, comparative effectiveness trial is to evaluate if arthroplasty is superior to internal fixation when used to treat minimally displaced femoral neck fractures in older adults >=60 years old. We hypothesize that arthroplasty will reduce death, preserve ambulation, increase days alive and out of hospital, and improve health status compared to internal f...
