About this trial
This study aims to evaluate the frailty status of elderly patients undergoing surgery for hip fractures (femur trochanteric fractures). Since frailty is a critical factor in surgical outcomes and recovery, researchers want to find simple, fast, and objective ways to measure it. This study will investigate muscle thickness measured by ultrasound, handgrip strength measured by a dynamometer, and routine blood test values can accurately predict a patient's frailty level. If these objective methods are proven effective, it will help anesthesia and surgical teams manage the perioperative process more safely for high-risk elderly patients
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
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).
Disqualifiers
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).
