Study of Parameters of Osteosarcopenia in Patients With Hip Fracture

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Osteoporotic Fracture of Femur, Osteoarthritis, Hip

In brief

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.
