Study of Parameters of Bone Fragility and Sarcopenia in Patients Undergoing Surgery for Fracture of the Femoral Neck
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Other, Diagnostic test
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
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.
